Article:

This paper describes two workshops raising awareness of the complexity of theinteractions between digital and non-digital space, networks, devices, andsystems. The exercises are included in broader research that deals with thehuman condition in the contemporary and future cities, focusing on therelationship between public space and weaponized data as a threat but also as anopportunity to act. A new way to understand and operate the street must bedeveloped, with new epistemic assemblages, which allow us to avoid dystopian ortechnocratic visions in order to think collectively in our future human habitat. Weoffer here a toolkit, a series of strategies, to cope with the overwhelmingcomplexity and act. The research is still open and the present paper shows themost recent experiences of a twenty-year journey
