Venue:
Online
In this Public Colloquium, Melissa Butcher, Sarah Keenan, Joel McKim and Scott Rodgers engaged in a roundtable discussion with Manu Luksch about her VR Exhibition Predictive Cities. The live colloquium, hosted by the BISR Urban Intersections Experimental Collective, has now been edited into a podcast episode for Mediapolis: A Journal of Cities and Culture.
The Predictive Cities exhibition - sponsored by the BISR Urban Intersections Experimental Collective, running from 16 June – 31 December 2021 - 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 Luksch’s artworks interrogating network urbanism and citizen agency, and second, spherical photographs of Songdo, South Korea, internationally famous as case study of greenfield smart cities. The series Songdo is custom-made for VR and shown the first time at this occasion.
