description

My talk from #playful14, starting with exploring how technology can elucidate hidden phenomena and relationships. It then moves on to how our actions accrete to create structure, stigmergy and desire lines. Finishes with the effects this has on privacy and identity, how our devices can help us lie, and personal data as the new playground.

Complexity from simple rules@davemurrayrustOregon experiment - principlesOrganic order: Planning and construction will be guided by a process which allows the whole to emerge gradually from local acts Participation: All decisions about what to build, and how to build it, will be in the hands of the users. Piecemeal growth: The construction undertaken in each budgetary period will be weighed overwhelmingly towards small projects. Patterns: All design and construction will be guided by a collection of communally adopted planning principles called patterns. Diagnosis: The well being of the whole will be protected by an annual diagnosis which explains, in detail, which spaces are alive and which ones dead, at any given moment in the history of the community.Coordination: Finally, the slow emergence of organic order in the whole will be assured by a funding process which regulates the stream of individual projects put forward by users.
