Arch and justice, arch is engaging other fields. We have the ability to speculate on those hopefully with this panel. MArk. encourage people to send an email feedback@situatedtechnologies.net. What are situated technologies,

situated located: situated in a particular spot or position. situated action every course of action is highly dependent upon its material and social circumstances focusing on moment by moment interactions between actors and between actors and environment. lucy suchman the problem with. europeantechnologies navigators begins with plans.

situated technologoies incorporates an awareness of cultural context accrued social meanings and the temporality of spatial experience. They privilege the local and context specific and spatially local.

1991 computers for the 21. century. Scientific american article about how computers should-shift from central to more immersive ubiquitous.

Chris Oakley. The Catalogue.2004. Internet of things. Near future scenario in the shopping mall. Privacy, who is accessing this information. City is always being a place of interaction, so movements of activities are more there.

What might be those situated technologies, what might arch have to do with this?

Toward an undefined prehistory.

The Naked City. Constant, new babylon, situationists redefine the city, our patterns in the city.

Jean Nouvelle, Institute du Monde Arabe. 1987. The building is living, it is not concrete programmable screen, changing screen according to the user interaction.

Chaos Computer Club, BlinkenLights.

Mobile phones organizes space. Personal territories. Gaming is another use of mobile phones. Blast Theory, can you see me now? 2001 runners appear online on the city, people can exchange tactics. audio stream.

dodgeball.

proboscis and natalie jeremijenko, robotic feral public authoring. 2006. WAAG society Amsterdam. mobile and location way of technologies reveals maps different side of cities. What new sites of practice research vectors and working methods can we identify?

computing as an environment

status of form and the material object changes in a world of networked things

attention is divided between virtual and actual domains.

space is longer just physically demarcated but also inscribed through new of of connectivity public spaces to social spaces.

omar khan:

under specificied performances from tools to environments

a performance paradigm. performance studies challenge of social effcacy performance management challenge of efficiency techno performance’s challenge of effectiveness

jon mckenzie perform or else. from discipline to performance.

technical performance: computing becomes cheap and miniature. situated networks, personal locational ad hoc multi hop networks. WIFI wireless ethernet bluetooth. proxomity is central to those.

for arc it becomes interesting because you can connnect over long distance. A different networked topology? Locationnal specific. The agency of things.

Organizational performance making tools/ three ways in which machines can assist the design process: 1 current prcedures can be automateed speeding up and reducing the cost of existing practices. 2- exsiting methods can be altered to fit within the spec and constituation of a machine. reality of tools, thye have own logic. 3- the design process, considered as evolutionary and a mutual training, resilience and growth can be developed. Relationship between owner and the machine will evolve. negroponte.

expoert design systems, problem solving tools. rich management tools, create huge database of relationships. you are able to model the same thing. Gordon pask. mutualist learning systems: problem thinking tools/ he actually changes the relationship between the person and the machine, he looks at more about the interaction, more into student-teacher than master-slave.

diagram for CASTE: A system for exhibiting learning strategies and regulating uncertainities.

A language that allows for human and machine to talk about what tthey are talking about. both man and machine constructs models of each through observations of their interaction.

Negroponte The arc machine 1969. Tools for persons, not generic tools.

MIT Media LAb The interface questions.

The question of social. Social performance designing environments..

Gordon pask, the arc ural relevance of cybernetics. 1969. He is proposing something under specification, it is not being about vague, allusive, it is about openness. it allows for evolutionary.

The fun palace. A case study in underspecification. joan littlewood a laboraroty of fun. she is clearly interested in performance creativity. participation intheir own performance.

an underspecfiied arc.

cedric price, 1964. the whole idea is it is scrapped. not permanent, it serrvesa particular service. an underspecified programme: for pask it is always about the interaction not about the technology. The system will evolve its own relationshiop.

what can we expect from uinderspecified performance invironemnets?

deisgned indeterminacy. particular to the situation. possibilityy to collaborate and learn. a material agency and internet of things. questions of things and agency. distributed computing. possibilities for more negotiable socialities. how do you open up socialiation.

cedricprice, arc is never empty and never full.

trebor schultz.

netowork socialities, iti s more important than technologies, what are the pitfull and opportunities of thiese. networked sociality moves to the ffront.

there iis not just one pssibble future, technologigical development is a battlefield of contestin interest groups.

• use of the telegraph for early networked dating of operators.
• not justminority report.

projections o f future uses of situated technolgoies need to ask what major problems humanity faces. he is talking about more things that are more related to our reality.. There is al ot of reduncany. Do we really need baking egg when the stock exchange rises. Decentralized participation in software applications, web aplications are too much but amateur participation in hardware design is much less common as interlinked design complexity reqquires.

Danish approach involves the puiblic in participatiary assessments projects and ascenario workshops just like trial juries.

They bring peoplel, society to design new technology.

support do it yourself movements. geospatial information wants to be free!

people should participate in designing technologies. colelctive actions.

questions: w do have the technology to quantify the behaviours of the environment, we should use it, for example there is not enough circulation in this room, we could quantify this now, that’s where we should go, we have the technology to create sustainable and energy creating systems.

there is one part leverage to the betterness of the society and the ones left behind.
