Spring/Summer 2008
From Amsterdam Wiki
Urban Native, Digital City - Interdisciplinary e-Research. The focus of the 2008 program was on the interplay of urban space and digital space. With the data gathering focused in physical space and methodology rooted technology mediated methods, we employed a conceptual framework that explores the city as a place both familiar and foreign. We examined our approaches through the lens of Walter Benjamin's famous, evocative, and incomplete "Arcades Project": in which a scholar used the architectural-historical object of the Paris Arcades as a site through which to explore theories of history and modernity.
