The mystery of the Swedish bookshop
Other countries have different defining genres. For Spain, it is swashbuckling action romps (from Don Quixote to Arturo Pérez Reverte’s Captain Alatriste). For Italy, it is intellectual games-playing disguised as fiction (Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco), for France it is essays in deep cultural pessimism laced with a huge amount of bonking (The Sexual Life of Catherine M, anything by Michel Houellebecq).
The more one goes on, the more marked the tendency appears. Egyptians like busy, criss-crossed, urban narratives (Naguib Mahfouz, Alaa Al Aswany), Hungarians like aristocratic nostalgia (Sandor Marai, Miklos Banffy) and Latin Americans, of course, enjoy novels about dictators in which fantasy provides an escape from oppression (all of them up to and including Junot Díaz).

The Thing-mapping Project
This work in progress started as a research on different methods of information mapping.
Requested feedback led the work to evolve from being an experimental approach to information mapping to generating an on-going analyse of the systems of representation used.
Basically I would like to use the website as a mere support for an on-going discussion on information-design so your comments are really important for the project to work!

About an intriguing urban computing assemblage
About an intriguing urban computing assemblage
The recent story of Google cars causing stir in Rome still makes me wondering about the perception of so-called “urban computing” and citizens. To put it shortly, the problem was basic: Google recently brought in black cars in Rome that take pictures for the Google Streetview project (yes at some point you have to physical artifacts taking PICTURES of streetviews, it’s not just virtual). BernhardWarner for the timesonline hence reports the following people’s reaction to these black cars:
“On cue, pedestrians shuffled off the street and into bars, out of sight of the offending vehicle, no doubt wondering if these are the new intrusions that must be endured after a sudden shift to the right. Your correspondent managed to snake through a queue of cars at a traffic light to get a better look at the vehicle that upset so many mid-afternoon espressos.
(…)
Just then the Google car swung left and I followed, in a very slow pursuit. The identical scene unfolded before me: Romans stumbling into shops and bars, hoping to be out of view of the camera’s lens“In a sense, they perceived it as “a new type of video surveillance vehicle”. I won’t enter into the details of the explanation provided by the timesonline (the election of a right-wing mayor… who wants to promote tough-on-crime platforms) but this situation seems certainly revealing of a troublesome relationship between technological assemblage.
The picture of the google cars in the Netherlands made by Lars van de Goor shows how the whole pack can be intimidating:
Why do I blog this? what I find interesting here is less the perception of a service (that can be articulated as “urban computing”) but instead the sort of experience of the infrastructure needed to provide a service. A flock of all-similar black cars wandering around the city with huge camera-devices may indeed by an intriguing experience as it may came out from the blue. Will we see more of this sort of encounters in the city of the near future?
Btw, Mauro were in you in Rome? have you seen this?

Featured Project: Cabspotting
Featured Project: Cabspotting Invisible Dynamics
Invisible Dynamics is a research project sponsored by The Exploratorium which explores the meanings and representations of place. Working across the domains of art, design, cultural geography, cartography, information design, sociology, hydrology, marine sciences, and history, Invisible Dynamics hosts residencies and workshops, as well as developing exhibitions and public programs. Using new technologies for the representation and analysis of spatial information, the project investigates the complexities of the San Francisco Bay Region in the context of the Pacific Rim. The contiguities of bay waters, shores, industrial zones, the interlacing and often unseen systems that give this area its character are all a part of the project focus—extending to explorations of the entire Pacific Rim.Continue reading…

Neotopia
“Neotopia” is the vision of a world in which everything has been redistributed to achieve radical equitability. Every person has the same rights and therefore is entitled to claim a just share of the earth’s aggregate resources. But what, then, does each person own? How large an island? How much ice? How many years can we live in luxury? How long do we suffer starvation, and how many years does it take before we can get a new pair of jeans? “Neotopia” gives each of us a plot of land, with an island, with an arctic and an antarctic region, with desert, farmland, and urbanized land, and with the freedom to utilize these resources as we see fit.
