Super interview of Cati in we make money not art!

Bewildered. My Danish friend came along with Jacob (jacob’s website!) who said to have acquired a GPS last year. I purchased his book entitled “American Pictures.”

I have known Edith since MIT… 6 years almost. I have really enjoyed working under Edith’s guidance (she saw through my messy creative mind ;) during my MIT SMarchS thesis and my Harvard DDes thesis… Edith’s website is up and running :) Check it out!!!

Ok fan club :) tomorrow @ 2pm Cambridge/Boston time (GMT -05:00 Eastern Time) I will be presenting my research in progress! Crossing fingers for the technology not to fail… but you might want to click on the webcast address: http://sorcerer.design.harvard.edu/live.sdp

I have invited (March 16, 2006) Adam Greenfield to lecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and through Critical Digital. “Critical Digital fosters a dialogue about digital media, digital technology and design. Challenging contemporary discourse of digitality through symposiums, competitions, publications and conferences, the intention of Critical Digital is to offer a forum of critique of current trends and inquiry within contemporary digital culture” (the website is being updated so check it out in a couple of weeks).

Adam Greenfield will be presenting EVERYWARE, The Dawning Age of
Ubiquitous Computing.

EVERYWARE is now available for pre-order on Amazon! Check it :)

I had met Adam Greenfield at Ci’Num in 2005!

May 16, 2005 (last year) I had invited Robert Kronenburg through Critical Digital. Professor Kronenburg presented Portable:Flexible:Architecture, Buildings to Respond to Change. Robert Kronenburg is the head of the Portable Research Architecture Unit of the University of Liverpool, and also the curatorial advisor on the Vitra Design Museum’s exhibition Living in Motion!

I have met Lies in Cambridge: she was looking for a “mademoiselle tout le monde” model for a serie of photographs on SHOPPING! I really much enjoyed working with Lies. Since, she moved to Paris and currently is exploring through photography the theme people places faces…
Something appealing to the neo-nomad I am, always on the move… I have been researching (and currently writing my thesis!) “how people recreate a sense of belonging to places they just go through” using various methodologies ;)

Rencontre avec Bruno Marzloff fondateur du groupe chronos, l’observatoire sur la chronomobilité.
Projet en cours, extrait des brèves chronos : “C’est aussi une étude ethnologique, “Impedimenta” dont le Groupe Chronos prend l’initiative avec les concours de la société inProcess et de Stéphane Juguet, anthropologue. Elle vise, en rassemblant certains de ces protagonistes, à explorer cette économie qui gère des accessibilités et des portabilités en jouant des “situations de mobilité” et se mettant “aux formats des mobilités multiples”.”

Nothing much to do with mobility… quoique… when traveling location might matter less than people you meet!?

Three weeks I am in Paris, staying in alternance at some friends and family appartments… Something missing though…

I have met Laura Forlano at UbiComp2004, and again at the SASE2005 conference! She has done fieldwork in Tokyo, and researches the socio-economics of wireless spaces! When we met for the second time, she showed me this incredibly cool Szoda, free Wi-Fi café in Budapest, a node in a network of communities… I couldn’t help, designer and architect that I am, ask… If I want to travel light, do I bring my laptop or my USB key?

I have met Julia at the SASE2005 conference, a meeting on socio-economics held in Budapest, June 30 - July 2, 2005. Her research interests are “actor network theory”, “collaborative virtual environments”, “cybergeography”, and “economic geography”… Julia works on socio-economics of space. We spoke about interdisciplinarity and methodology.
