Hi MANIK
you make good points.
I agree that we probably share an urgent and heartfelt sense of need for fundamental Global Change.

This competition has just been announced. Asking people to write a paragraph reversing the Panopticon effect of the Internet of Things to envision the City of Trust in the freedom society. http://www.theinternetofthings.eu/content/new-years-contest-panopticon-metaphor-internet-things-%E2%80%93-why-not-if-it-were-opposite

" What could be the metaphor of a free society where individuals are endowed with the capability to exploit their talents and realise their dreams, where social groups stand together, and where organisations adopt an ethical conduct? If we accept that Panopticon can be the metaphor for the surveillance society, the City of Control, the human enslaved by his objects, what could be the opposite concept for the freedom society, the City of Trust, the empowered individual?"

I think it's an excellent question.

Answers anyone?

cheers
Ruth

    I was about to nominate Rob (and his links series) for this
    year's Year Round Father Christmas of Netbehaviour- a combo of
    timely, informative and pleasurable resources- each collection
    hangs together with mysterious and joyous coherence.

    Then I thought of all the other sparkly wonders that have dropped
    into my inbox from all you others NBers

    These are some of the things I have particularly loved in NB this
    year

      * invitations to live networked performances: music,
        cyberformance, collaborative (bodily and avatar) performance
      * collaborations and streams of drawings, paintings, videos,
        sound: everyday, visceral, playful, strange,
        brain-shape-shifting, machinic
      * steady attention and inventive responses to the many
        upheavals in the wider world
      * people new to NB finding wayz to introduce themselves, their
        practices and join the conversation
      * tributes and memorials to the passing of many fine, strange
        and imaginative people
      * torrents of (sometimes unprocessable) practice and theory
        springing up and washing all over the place
      * all the conversations: thoughtful, grouchy, bitter, funny,
        informed, informing, theoretical, flippant, just-plain-wrong,
        brutal, embarrassing and illuminating.

    Thanks and warm festive fuzzies to you all.

    Ruth
