The full, profusely illustrated transcript of my talk at Cognitive Cities in Berlin is now online. It's called The Living City, and includes a range of urban visualisations I've produced over the last year. One of the most welcome aspects of research life has been the time afforded to work on such speculative projects.

It was a diverse conference, opening with a thought-provoking and measured keynote from Adam Greenfield of Urbanscale on the politics of public networked objects, and ending with a gothic account of ghost hunters, RFID orbs and urban electro-magnetic fields from Warren Ellis.

Neukölln was good to me. Visits to Brunnenstraße 9, which was showing Barbara Hammer works, and DAM, which has a superb collection of early computer art (viewable by appointment), topped it off.

Thanks to Third Wave et al for putting the event together.
