• location based service- digital bus stop; programmed signage
• 21th century lighting- interactive lighting, when people on the street, light up (light dots following people's movement, like their shadow)
• Sensing the hidden city- visualize the IP traffic total/ real time
• World within New York
• visualize the network traffic in surrounding area- Seuol project
• How do cities work dynamically?
• visualizing the hidden data in a city
• the real-time data makes city become flow
• many people mentioned about the privacy issue in this seminar
• aggregate model- the ubiquitous data researchers got is aggregate data
• virus hack into programmed city system, what happened if this happens?
• media in the environment, who decide the media is for? who driven the content? who does the content show for?
• urban display unit- 21th technology tends to be more hidden, immerse into every day environment
• Think of the lighting transformation from 20th to 21th century
• Ribbon lighting at water's edge
• street lights have sensor- people in the area- turn on, if not- turn off
• Interactive transit stop- paris metro- digital garden in bus stops everywhere
• Information pylons

• Lyon festival of light- high-tech, sophisticated projecting light on a historical facade
• LG telecom headquarters/ DMC- LG phone buyers can take pics and videos and upload to LG headquarters and show on the building facades.
• digital pavement, memory paving, LED pavement- more people walk by, the brighter of the LED pavement
• The graffiti gateway
• Plaza Multi_media project facade- multiple or single images projected to flat surfaces(facade becomes photoshop layers)
• Seoul- digital media city- experimental public realm- ground floor should be highly permeable
• Media city: UK- physical and digital environment
• Responsive market space, restaurant
• when media come into life, our life becomes more media: media mix with life
• Media marketplace
• Abu Dhabi- ADMZ
• Florence- a city is killing itself- media, and technology can not be physical- how to fit technology into historical city?
• Media as a vehicle of forms
• buildings in the future will be more responsive to natural environment and dynamic urban fabric
• information includes ads, and sensing and responding.- not all information is didactic.
• How the environment can respond to people?
