This episode is an edited version of the Predictive Cities colloquium, held online on July 1st 2021. The colloquium involved a roundtable discussion of the Predictive Cities exhibition, sponsored by the Urban Intersections Working Group of Birkbeck’s Institute for Social Research.
Especially for Mediapolis listeners and readers, the exhibition's run has been extended until the end of 2021, so that you can take it in before, after or even while you listen to the roundtable.
Access the exhibition: http://www.manuluksch.com/project/augmented-reality-virtual-reality-cryptart/predictivecities/
The Predictive Cities exhibition is situated in the virtual space of a Mozilla Hubs VR chatroom. It contains two kinds of objects. First, memes that spawn a selection of artworks by Manu Luksch, which interrogate networked urbanism and citizen agency. Second, the exhibition includes a series of spherical photographs of Songdo, South Korea, internationally famous as a case study of greenfield smart cities. The series Songdo is custom-made for VR (if you have access to a VR headset do use it!).
At the roundtable even, we were very fortunate to be joined by the creator of the exhibition, Manu Luksch. Manu is an artist and filmmaker who researches the effects of emerging technologies on daily life, social relations, urban space, and political structures. Her current work focuses on corporate-governmental relationships and the social effects of predictive analytics in the algorithmic city. Her work is included in the Collection de Centre Pompidou, the BFI National Archive, and the Core Collection at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
In the roundtable, Manu is in conversation with a panel, all people based at Birkbeck, University of London. including:
The original recording has been edited, for length and clarity, but also to remove some of the host's (Scott Rodgers') interjections and housekeeping notes for the audience of the live event. Also added in are some sound clips from artworks mentioned in the discussion.
This is an episode within the Events podcast series for Mediapolis Now, the podcast channel of Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture. In the Voices series, we feature recordings of recent talks and symposia at the junction of cities, culture and media.
