Digital technologies are radically changing our perception of cities and our urban presence. Explore the wilderness beyond the machine by taking an auto-piloted taxi ride through a network of software systems, autonomous infrastructures, ghostly structures, anomalies, defects and standalone images, joining the interrogative architect Liam Young and an all-seeing smart city operating system. An audiovisual experience, the talk explores a city positioned in a place between today and the future, real and imaginary, brought together by pieces of genuine landscapes and designed urban fictions.
Liam Young, known as a “speculative architect” who is working in the fields of design and fiction, influenced the participants of Digilogue Summit 2017 by preparing an audio-visual experience. Bringing together our perception of cities and the effects of digital technologies on our urban presence with “Hello City”, Young takes us on a journey in an auto-piloted taxi in a network of imperfections and independent images, as he talks about the wilderness between reality and imagination, today and the future.
