I am transfering this post from the yasmin announcement list to the yasmin
\discusssion list as it seems to me very relevant to our MCLUHAN EFFECTS
discussion
Concerning the discussion about how every new media technologies
engages new responsibilities- one of the way that this comes about
is through feedback loops
take a look at
http://www.artisopensource.net/2011/10/16/versus-rome-october-15th-the-riots-on-social-networks/
This short video displays the activity on social networks (Twitter,
Facebook, Foursquare) during the riots of October 15th which took
place in Rome during the local instance of the 15th October initiative
created in the planetary process started by the Occupy Wall Street
movement.
New kinds of feedback loops are now being created between individual action and
collective action- knowing what the group is doing feeds back into
personal behaviour
with new timescales
right now this example was done after the fact- but we can now imagine
this being
fed back in on short time constants
The Physics of the City group calls this " egovernance' mechanisms
Concluding,
essentially our E-governance system is composed of a large data base, of one
or more centers that can collect real time microscopic data, elaborate models
based on the individual mobility demand, find the optimal self-organized
mobility states and diffuse the relative information (best path dynamical map)
along the mobility network performing a bidirectional continuous interaction
with the citizens. ( Armando Bazzani, Bruno Giorgini and Sandro Rambaldi,
You can only be rersponsible when you know the consequences of your
actions- new mechanisms
for new responsibilities are being put in place

Rome, Oct. 15th, 2011
This short video displays the activity on social networks (Twitter,
Facebook, Foursquare) during the riots of October 15th which took place in
Rome during the local instance of the 15th October initiative created in the
planetary process started by the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The peaks and contours you see represent the intensity of the communication
and conversations that was taking place from the start of the protest (at
3pm local time) up until its approximate end (at 8pm local time).
The animation shows the geo-referenced intensity of messages for each 30
minute time slot from the beginning to the end of the protest.
It is time to invent new, innovative, creative forms of protest, fostering
new forms of solidarity, collaboration, participation between people, and
also to create tools, strategies and methodologies to bypass and overcome
the tricks which power structures and the people and organizations which we
want to fight against have learned to perform so well to dismantle and make
disappear all the good parts of the critique coming from the peaceful
protesters.
What we suggest is to create new forms of protest. Which do not look
anything like these current ones.
These and other topics will be discussed at the Share Festival and at the
FabLab Italia during the first week of November 2011, where we will present
the "VersuS" project.
VersuS is a spin-off of the ConnectiCity project, and is intended to create
tools that enable us to imagine, design and create new tools for the city.
