The film 0º00 Navigation Part I: A Journey Across England shows an obsessive and deranged journey exactly along the Greenwich Meridian.
Networks of New York is a field guide to finding the internet on the streets of Manhattan. It documents different signs of buried network infrastructure and easily overlooked networked objects (sensors, cameras, cell towers, and more), as well as some major carrier hotels in New York City.
Science and technology are products of the culture in which they are developed. Amid excessive consumerism and economic competition, we must see this technodiversity in a different light: it transcends the oppositions between the local and the global, the modern and the traditional and the West and the East, helping us redefine our relationship with one another and with our living environment.

The Geoportal is a web site whose purpose is to offer users access to a series of resources and services based on geographic information. It allows geospatial data to be discovered, accessed and visualised, using a standard navigator, and enables the integration, interoperability and exchange of information between different institutions, professional groups and service companies, etc.
There’s a revolution stirring in Barcelona (but not that one). It revolves around the ownership of data. ‘There is a new deal on data,’ says Francesca Bria, the woman charged with turning Barcelona into a truly smart city — a city that harnesses the power of technology and puts it to use solving the problems of its citizens. ‘We believe that data is a public infrastructure — like water, like roads, like the air we breathe — and it should be treated as such. It belongs to the citizens of Barcelona.’
“Now we have a big contract with Vodafone, and every month Vodafone has to give machine readable data to city hall. Before, that didn’t happen. They just took all the data and used it for their own benefit”
The recent proposition of decelerating AI research as a means to ensure safety and progress presents an understandable but untenable approach that will be detrimental to both objectives. Corporate or state actors will make advancements in the dark while simultaneously curtailing the public research community's ability to scrutinize the safety aspects of advanced AI systems thoroughly. Rather than impeding the momentum of public AI development, a more judicious and efficacious approach would be to foster a better-organized, transparent, safety-aware, and collaborative research environment. The establishment of transparent open-source AI safety labs tied to the international large-scale AI research facility as described above, which employ eligible AI safety experts, have corresponding publicly funded compute resources, and act according to regulations issued by democratic institutions, will cover the safety aspect without dampening progress. By embracing this cooperative framework, we can simultaneously ensure progress and the responsible development of AI technology, safeguarding the well-being of our society and the integrity of democratic values.
Video transcript: "And one of the reasons why I think regeneration is an important concept is because we talk about decolonization a lot, but decolonization means to remove something. I don't disagree with the idea that we need to remove perhaps toxic ways of being. But I think in that removal you must also make a suggestion of what to replace with. So it's not enough to just decolonize, it's not enough to just take away. It also means instantiating or practicing things that replace the current practices. And in that, I think that is a model of regeneration. It's not that we don't know how to live in balance with the Earth, we have always known how to live in balance with the Earth; it's that we need to encourage that balance to start to take over our systems as we move into the future. And that needs to be a guiding principle when we create our economic systems, our social systems, our academic systems, our energy systems.
