Venue: Auditorium, Peter Doherty Institute Auditorium
Presenters: Sir Nigel Thrift
Throughout cities of the world today, an explosion in digital information and communications technology is producing a profusion of data as never before. Presented by the EU Centre and the Melbourne Sustainable Society Institute, this provocative lecture with one of the world's leading human geographers, Professor Sir Nigel Thrift, examines what kinds of technological practices are becoming commonplace in cities today.
According to Sir Nigel, the advent of a global informational overlay across cities - touchscreens, virtual landscapes, location tagging, augmented realities - is, in turn, creating a new spatial awareness with major consequences for how we understand our relations to ourselves, others and the wider world.
