Buildings as Data Ports: Dead Drops
I posted this a while ago on the Urban Guide for Alternate Use site, but the more I think about it, the more I love the concept, so thought I’d bring the idea over here. German artist and open source tech pioneer Aram Bartholl brings location-specific data to new levels with his Dead Drops project. [...]

Urban Play Amsterdam comes together
Apologies for the lack of recent posts, but the final touches are being put on Urban Play, so that’s where my time is going at the moment.
