A vision of the responsive city of the future

Cities are among the greatest accomplishments of mankind – but they have not quite learned to respond to the needs of their inhabitants yet. Gerhard Schmitt believes that the communication between the city of the future and its people should be bi-directional. He reveals some approaches to make this possible, and interleaves his research with numerous, fascinating examples from people shaping their cities around the world.

Teaching The Unknown

As an invited guest in Moon & Jeon's exhibition "News from Nowhere" we present the roughly 2000 images sent in as part of three exercises in our MOOC using an interactive touch-screen application. The app features three modes: 1) all messages 2) a game 3) an exhibition history.

Interactive Installation at MIGROS Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Escher-Wyss-Platz, Zürich

As an invited guest in Moon & Jeon’s exhibition “News from Nowhere” we present the roughly 2000 images sent in as part of three exercises in our MOOC using an interactive touch-screen application. The app features three modes: 1) explore all images with the corresponding description by the students, 2) a guessing game in which the visitor has to guess the location of an arbitrary image from 240 preselected images and 3) a statistics view in which the visitor is presented his own rank as well as the ranks of the cities: a rank that shows how well the cities have been recognized throughout the whole exhibition.
