These interfaces function as social catalysts that create a network of symbolic exchanges between places and their inhabitants and respond to various social, cultural and political conditions. Orkan will present a survey of recent urban interventions that comment on mobility, location, borders, language, and identity to explore an emerging collective formed around the social catalyst. Orkan Telhan is a visiting scholar at the MIT Mobile Experience Lab. He recently finished his studies at the MIT Media Lab, Sociable Media Group. Prior to that, Orkan studied Media Arts at The State University of New York at Buffalo.. << Up Next >> Kurt Ralske - December 4, 2007 http://turbulence.org/upgrade/archives/12_04_07KR.html PLAN AHEAD: Calendar http://turbulence.org/upgrade/calendar.html <<< About Upgrade!
