Workshop for public projects
The contemporary city is full of control devices. Security cameras apply a vertical glance, operated by mechanisms of power, while all kind of mobile devices, from smartphones to the newly arrived Google Glass, forge a net of horizontal views. Internet, the other contemporary city, is now replacing the role of the traditional public space, and the user is subject to other control devices. These mechanisms act in an ambiguous way, sometimes invisible, property of a new private conglomerate of control of the information. The present workshop wants to provide a space of reflection about these problems, in which Antoni Muntadas will present his works. At the same time, he will propose a methodology of work from which specific projects of public nature can be elaborated.
Initial phase: June 17th and 18th: Methodology and definitions.
