Hi! I’m Adam Greenfield. Over the last twelve years, I’ve spent quite a lot of time thinking about the interaction of people, urban place, and technology, in my book Everyware, at my various jobs, and in most detail at my blog, Speedbird. For this year’s FutureEverything, I’ve been asked to curate a collection of urbanist iPhone applications under the rubric of “Serendipity Apps.”
Curatorial statement on the art programme in the FutureEverything 2010 festival, which features a series of urban interventions, artworks visualising the city in imaginative ways, and projects exploring unlimited connectivity, data visualisation, mobile media, social gaming, rapid prototyping and gift exchange.
We are excited to introduce the FutureEverything conference programme for 2010, our best and most ambitious yet. We are also delighted to present the world’s best speakers under our conference themes of ImagineEverything, Unlimited Connectivity, Open Data and The City Experiment.
