This paper aims go ahead in bringing back the ontological distinction and dialectical interaction between theconcepts of City (Polis) and the Urban (Urbs), something relatively clear in the ancient Latin Languages butnowadays certainly blurred, both, in the domestic public life as in the currently academic language, over-ruled by the American English. To undertake this task up we go back until Aristotle Politics to confront hissense of Polis (City) with the concept that on the City have some sociological and urbanism classical authors.Then, retaking the works of Henry Lefebvre (Right to the City), Manuel Castells (The city and the Grassroots)and David Harvey (The limits to Capital), we propose a preliminary and under construction concept of City,different from Urbs , as “political and sociological unity with limited spatial and temporal coherence”.

Noticings is a game of noticing things in cities. Snap a photo of something interesting you happen upon, upload it to Flickr, tag it with 'noticings' and geotag it with where it was taken.
Since the 60s we've imagined the combination of computers and our environment would create both utopias and dystopias. Since the 80's we've seen academics, artists and corporate R&D labs prototype these futures from the top-down. Now, hackers are building sensors, bots and software into everything around them bottom-up, fast, cheap and out-of-control. They're creating environments that react, adapt and respond to us - and perhaps more importantly - each other: The Demon-Haunted World. Matt's session will be a whistlestop tour of those days of future past and pointers to some practical futures we can start building right now, together."
