iCity 2016 - Keynote invitation
We are glad to announce that Prof. John Cook has been invited to give a keynote on Hybrid Reality and Culture at 'ICiTy: Enhancing places through technology' conference April 2016 in Malta see: http://cyberparks-project.eu/news/32-icity-enhancing-places-through-technology.
"This international conference provides a significant opportunity to synthesise the current 'state of the art' with regard to the development of ICT and the re-questioning of public spaces, from technological, human, philosophical and design perspectives. ICT may add value to public spaces and to the user experience therein. Understanding fully the implications of ICT to place-making requires, in turn, a complete understanding of the relations between users and their behaviour, new media and the spatial practice, as well as new methodologies using technology that are being developed. ICiTY aims to expose participants to novel ideas about future ICT development and contemporary knowledge about new ways of urban life people are tending or searching for in connection with new media. It shall also showcase a vast array of case studies – both in terms of field experiments with new methodologies and innovative design approaches related to the development of urban open spaces."
Looking forward to being there!
