Thank you to URI (and some presentation notes)

Filed under: Academic,Technology — Jed @ 9:28 am

University of Rhode IslandThis is a well deserved thank you to the organizers of the Space, Place, and Imagination conference last weekend at the University of Rhode Island.

I will post more about the conference soon, but I wanted to post some resources for those who attended my presentation (thank you).

  • Annoymously ISO Experience – The original article that kicked off this research, including the “I missed the connection with DC” post
  • Theoretical (Missed) Connections (including Video) – These are my notes from when I originally posted the video I showed during my presentation. It’s a nice overview of my research, and it is set too good music no less.
  • Responses to the Video – A lot of people had questions about the creation of the video, and there were some funny stories. You can read about how this video resulted in some unexpected missed connections of my own.
  • Bridges between the Real and Digital World – During my presentation, I tried to argue that craigslist can actually shape the real world in ways that we might not expect. Here are two posts showing how this has happened, one about night clubs, and one featuring some incredible artists.
  • The abstract for my presentation

If that list doesn’t satiate, site back and enjoy the film piece all over again!
