Sofia …the history of your network activity…
can define a new life of the city. Thomas Do you know the situationist Guy Debord? It’s this kind of idea, of flows and ways of experiencing the city. Dario They created map movements in the city. Peitro If I am a stranger in a city I define new maps with my iphone. Actually I create new maps of the city. My friend defines new maps as well. At the same place, but by different movements.

Dario …all electronic changes you make in the system, cameras put them all together and based on that with an error probability they can say where you will be in the future. In our system city cameras can capture a person. For example, this person is tired, working slower, drinking water, so maybe the system puts a bench right here. Can be another example of future education: kids are going to school and the screen is popping up with the last lesson. → 1.24
Dario We were working on the continuation of the previous group ideas about a new city, an utopian city system and the definition of a new city captured on movement. But why only the movements? Not everything? Everything can be captured not only the movements. The new elements could be captured not just by GPS systems, but images capturing cameras, and all information possible. So it would be like a central computing system and would gather information from people (social networking, open sources), from reality itself from the city (from analytical data, like weather, water, food), and then this computer would send reactions and change the things, change reality, people’s life…
Silvia It is funny, because we made a system for people to find each others needs and solve them. And you, guys, make a computer system which will think about it.
Sofia …it would adapt the city according to people’s needs. It would be a system which is able to predict according to all this information, past, present and future, and the city would evolve according to everyone’s needs.
Gemma That is why Utopia is impossible, because it is not exactly how you planned it. And the people who argue that it is scary will try to change your perfect world.
Dario They invented actually this system of predicting where you will move within the next 24 hours in a 20 meters are based on your behavior. They track your mobile, and your social (Internet) network…
Leaticia Is there a door to escape from the system? Dario Suicide only! But it will be prevented. Thomas Like, this guy is going to commit suicide in 20 meters distance. Dario Yeah, and one could argue that it is scary, one could argue that it would be perfect!
Thomas So is there a way to visualize this somehow, to make this real? Dario I think so because this system is made from reality. The camera captures and analyses and introduces something
