A SYDNEY CITY TIMES JOURNALISTIC REPORT 11/06/2065

THE RUMOURS AROUND GLEBE’S ‘SMITH,’ AND THE RECENT, SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF THE MAN WHO SOUGHT TO CATCH HIM, DETECTIVE TIMS.

On Wednesday, June 10, 2065, the Sydney City Times published the shocking images of detective Tims’ apartment, which at the time, was a crime scene for his very own death. These images have reignited the search for Smith’s identity, as never-before-seen evidence of the detective’s findings are scattered throughout his residence, including Smith’s artefacts, and the inspirations behind his city hacking that spanned over three decades.

This journalistic report analyses these three leaked images of the apartment, and looks at some of Smith’s inspirations as well as Detective Tims’ leaked police report from 2050.

Where is Smith now? Is he dead? How did Detective Tims die? Were these two secretly working together? These mysteries may be now solvable...

One of the most interesting finds was a manual, written around 2030-50, which outlines an urban guide to passive privacy. It is unknown who produced this, but we can assume either Smith did, or was at least inspired by these instructions 2.

The following pages are exerts from the manual that the Sydney City Times are allowed to publish...

We can decipher the areas that are too dangerous to be under surveillance by police, only cameras.

Police are afraid to attend these spots after the 2030 riots - police are vulnerable in settings of dense, narrow streets and sharp corners.

A RACE AGAINST TIME The isotropic city has heavy surveillance. Authority and revolution.

VIOLENT RIOTS CAUSE STRICT SURVEILLANCE - 2021 STORMING OF THE US CAPITOL BUILDING Violence only temporarily overpowers the police force

Smoke grenades are a useful means of distraction from cameras and police

Physical riots within US Capitol Building

In response to riots, everyday eye i.d. was introduced into surveillance Mobile phones can now trace in every way - especially by analysing eyes.

Riots can be used as a distraction as police will be occupied in one area, leaving parts of the city without support

Upgraded from standard cameras

Standard cameras that still operate from before the riot are easy to avoid

Like mobiles, Maglev cars can identify people through one’s eyes

The Spider-cam a.i. identify people 250% more effectively than standard police officers

Violent riots initiate new technology that is harder to disable

Using trees and busy public domains are the most successful methods of avoiding surveillance

DEFINING THE VERTICAL THRESHOLD THROUGH HISTORY

Like all train stations throughout Washington D.C., the modern Maglev Stations are state of the art. Stations higher up are too risky to use - the older stations are under less surveillance.

Maglev highways scale the tops of skyrise buildings.

The most recent Maglev highways have heavy surveillance and should not be used.

As residents in surburbia continue to urbanise, the demand for skyrise living becomes too intense for developers. The result is cheap, faulty infastructure with flaws in technology like surveillance systems.

First magnetic levitation (maglev) highways scale medium scale buildings. These initial highways are under less surveillance than modern, higher highways and can be used.

Residential housing complexes instantly begin to take advantage of the abolished 130ft building height law. Today, these buildings are not under as much surveillance as more recent builds and are good spots to go under the radar.

Congress abolishes Height Act in response to an increase in urban housing demand following Washington D.C. Statehood.

His agency: Smith believes there needs significant collaboration in order to create a grassroots power system that could displace the current order and build one that is fair. Building the power necessary for serious contestation, in turn, would require that they collaborate extensively to create an ever-more expansive network of diverse peoples and political modes.

Smith is the connection within a self-established “smart grid” that interweaves diverse powers/ groups, and responsively draws on the distinct proclivities of these diverse sources to overcome their inherent limitations in getting overpowered by the Sydney City Government.

W.Smith is an elderly person that was kicked out of his social housing block in Waterloo in 2025; his assumed motive is to seek revenge by undermining the governance that displaced him in Glebe.

2030-2050 Common sightings of W.Smith in a tower by tower social mix structure.

2030-2050

The socially mixed buildings that housed both private and social residents saw relentless conflict as a result of dissimilarity.

This social structure was initiated for Sydney City’s housing towers in early 2025, but was abandoned in 2035 as violent, ethnocentric events sparked a need for seperation of particular cultural groups from one another. Tensions emerge between meeting housing authorities’ social mix objectives that dismantle existing communities and other regeneration goals to improve community integration and self-reliance. Smith was active elsewhere.

W. Smith has been, allegedly, sighted establishing nodes, sometimes in particular rooms within a block of towers - a physical area to connect various groups to start a dialogue about the government’s (supposed) mistreatment.

W. Smith has more difficulty achieving this where the social mix is limited to a block by block seperation of cultural groups - it seems the greater the distance between these seperations, the less we see of Smith.

Smith subtly invades the public realm with microarchitectures. This encourages unwanted behavior. When these interactions with his artfectas occur, we can no longer predict and track movements, especially the seperation, of various groups.

One strategy includes a removal and punking of existing microarchitectures like benches. By adding benches, Smith gains an element of power by controlling public congregation and circulation - Sydney City Government sees this as anti-social loitering, a breaking of the sepeartion grid imposed, and a start to a grass roots uprising

Reflective surfaces are often Smith’s installments. Although they tend to go unnoticed and are difficult to track, there tends to be a message attached

Known as Smith’s Artefactions, the following are pieces of evidence in the personal possession of Tims, which again is cause for suspicion 14.

The following physical evidence are artefacts from both Smith and Tims that the Sydney City Times are allowed to publish...

SMITH’S ARTEFACTIONS FOUND IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT ARTEFACTS LINKED TO SMITH THAT HAVE BEEN GATHERED. THEIR FUNCTIONS ARE NOT CLEAR

DETECTIVE TIMS’ SMITH MOVEMENT 2040 ARTEFACTS LINKED TO SMITH AND TIMS

NOTE FROM DETECTIVE TIMS FOUND ON A SMITH POSTCARD

CONCLUSION OF FINDINGS

The items found throughout Tim’s apartment have left more questions than answers. It seems trying to gain a full understanding of Smith is a hopeless task, one that dragged Tims into an endless rabbit hole. He dedicated his life to solving the unsolvable - one can’t simply conclude a never-ending narrative; if Smith was a person, his legacy will continue to grow past his own existence. He has established an ownership of certain acts, whereby his name is more of a reference to an idea than a human being.

However, these findings confirm intentional, physical, and orchestrated actions can, in fact, redefine the city fabric.

Perhaps this was his intention all along, or perhaps Tims was Smith this entire time - it doesn’t matter the mystery behind his identity doesn’t compare to his impact in Glebe - one that will go down in history
