I was just checking in on Twitter (I’m @ARCHNetwork, btw) – and saw that I missed a tweet from NPIRL’s Bettina Tizzy posting a RT from @TishShute from UgoTrade about the exciting “Toward the Sentient City” pamphlet, published by Situated Technologies. Drawing a parallel to “Reflexive Architecture,” Bettina says “So it IS possible in real life!” This brings the concept full circle for me, as Tish’s original thoughts about ‘Beautiful Data’ are what instigated the Reflexive Architecture experiments in the first place!
In lieu of a lengthier commentary on Sentient City, I’ll invite you to read it for yourself. You can download a PDF here or get a printed copy from Lulu.com.
By the looks of this slideshow and numerous tweets from Tish live from the ambitious Conflux Festival (produced by Glowlab), I’m certain we can expect some of her consistently high quality and insightful reporting on this exciting event sometime soon!
