This workshop is indicative of the kind of workshops Council will run. Smart homes have generally been more successful in concept than in execution or in-home use. This problem is usually not one of technology, but of interaction and interface design - we can build a Smart Home, but who wants to use it? And how do they use it? Smart home concepts have so far been designed in-house in r&d departments of large companies with very rigid use scenarios or pre-designed environments and technology infrastructures. The Homesense Project will bring methodologies developed in virtual environments (user-generated and remixed content, communities, data visualisations, etc.) to physical infrastructures.

This workshop is indicative of the kind of workshops Council will run in. Interactive role-playing workshop to explore possible futures of the Internet of Things. During the workshop the teams will construct their own versions of the future IoT by taking a few specific 'roles' and following a special 'gameplay', collaborative and competitive at the same time. An open, yet structured process will help the participants to express - and reflect upon - their ideas about the future of the Internet of Things, learn from each other and together construct more meaningful and integral version of the new emerging realities.Read more

This workshop is indicative of the kind of workshops Council will run. The question of how to store, interpret, and use relevant information will be one of the most important in the coming decades with the increasing merging of analogue and digital situations, systems, and contexts. Pervasive computing, ubiquitous computing (ubicomp), sentient computing, pro-active computing, Disappearing Computer, Digital Territory, Ambient Intelligence, all these terms point to a shared 21th century vision on computing as running in the background.Read more

In this workshop we will work with the premisse that vertical institutions will break under the weight of the internet based decision possibilities of evergrowing groups of people organizing themselves on all kinds of specific topics. How can we help existing institutions and power nodes to transform into a networked form of a variety of heterogeneous forms of organisation that need mediation? Following the logic of a dark but plausible scenario focusing on breakdown rather then contuinity, we want to bypass the possibility of this scenario by facilitating citizens with the individual and community tools that are necessary to perform the functions of current institutions and democratic processes: slow down, mediate, negociate, educate, take a long term perspective...Read more

A workshop to explore Internet of things at the scale of the City
Most of us will be living in cities in the future, and cities are a scale of operating most of us don't often get a chance to think at. Many cities are expanding exponentially – some 70 million people leave rural areas every year to join nearby cities, the majority to join squatter cities. At the same time brand new cities, such as Masdar - a carbon neutral city in Abu Dhabi - are being built right now.Read more

The two hour session of Council@Picnic (pictures by Slava Kozlov) on new ways of decisionmaking that are more suitable to the network was a very productive mix of short to the point but diverse presentations by Council members with as a first respondent Constantijn van Oranje-Nassau, a quick and dirty introduction by Usman Haque on his format for gaining participatory rapport in a diverse group, a 25 minute group effort with this format (4 groups of about 7 to 8 participants), and a one minute pitch to Picnic co-founder Marleen Stikker and Morelab member Inaki Vazquez.Read more
