14 Golden Rules Of The Virtuous City
Urban planning should be an avatar and becomes name of urbanism, a word invented by Iidefons Cerdã in Barcelona in 1880, at the same time as the criticism by Camillo Sitte against hygienic cities of Hoffmann.
The urbis is a form of satellite journey, this gives peripheral spaces hostages of the center and consecration from the perpendicular city with the horrible poem of "The right angle" and its disastrous consequences today?
Critical? Almost illegal at present of Grand Master Le Corbusier comes from raven [corbeau like corbu in French word that's joke with a play of sonority] first ranks of the Mithra sect. Le Corbusier invent new module gold --Modulor or Mystery with transhumanism- Dream of the machine to live and then failure of the conditions of displacement and their relationship with an urban form that breaks the bonds. As in a living body, it is established through a morphology of red blood cells. The body of a city is only designed for the car without interactions, between pedestrians become ants. Can not stop in a metro corridor for example.
Form of people and formatting ... village in a circle encounter / chessboard and failure of relations by the division of the soil that projects ways to move and access the properties, the culture of the vacuum of the modern street produces displacements without random encounters other than Of traffic accidents. The system of a grid city is imposed as a simple way to enlarge or create a city from a track, to the extreme certain cities exist only on a track composed of boxes with parking for Facilitate access. Thus many districts resemble chess boards with commercial zones on the former market gardens, agricultural production being managed at the regional or national level.
It will be better to study the city and the importance of its geometry, the journeys of city dwellers in a quadrangular city and the absence or failure of businesses in these neighborhoods .... The linear path and the absence of landmarks .. The weight of a past and the possibility of evolving the city with its time. The fatality of being born or living in a linear neighborhood composed of parking and housing without shops or public facilities, the porosity of public facilities ... The true meaning of the word church ... we do not live with any trade .. Towards a Citizen Church? One must understand and try to stop glorifying architecture buildings too fashionable and fragile in the interview and decided with 100% public funding ... donations are never as well received as those that are a participatory mix and Plus a systematic right that is expensive in management ... one can make schools freer for those many who are in failure in the primary and run schools like companies already do in incubators.
The form of cities is the main factor in the failure of poor neighborhoods. Urban planners were born in this facility to reproduce in copy / pasted an eternal vision of car parks and blocks now well insulated facades with fragile materials. The architects follow modern fashion as a priesthood, the novelty of forms has become a dogma, the facades are like paintings with no link other than the geometry of the piece of land. Life could not have been born in these cities cloned with a grid, they have voluntarily erased all ties with history and regional anchoring, architectural globalization produces the same cities in the World. This is an observation that nobody criticizes, it's a bit like a single part.
14 Golden Rules Of The Virtuous City
1 - Each house, every building you give it a symbol, it is its face and its existence in the city, is generous and gives a difference to allow everyone to offer one Chance of existing. You will give your children an extra chance to spot where they live and to create solid roots with the land that saw them born
2 - Plant a tree at each birth to balance the relationship between free nature and that of man, the tree symbolizes life and its fruits are the wealth of the heart. If you do not like this poem then think about the microclimates, the morning dew. Make with your imagination a long-term projection, 15.5% less green space in the new cities grove, neighbourhoods and project your mind in 20 years without trees and only air conditioners.
3 - Invent corridors and double walls, you will have a natural insulation and you will be able to propose a well-designed solution to optimize energy efficiency.
4 - Protects the terrace with high walls to shadow and cool the top of the houses, you will make living spaces, very pleasant in the evening while the ground releases the heat of the day, a current is often perceptible at 10 meters above the ground.
5 - Closed balconies, loggias, they are architectural marvels of North if they are organized on a community garden. Taste the smell of the earth when the water evaporates, and you will try to create arcaded streets for always moving in the shade, favour the trade by creating local shops and facilitate supplies.
6 - Think to the humans, they are animals and walked, they need to make one miles of exercise’s walk to stay in healthy condition. The power of internet is incredible and perhaps they don’t need to walk for the nourishing, like they didn’t need to hunt for the dinner, then it’s a main option to improve the journey in the city? With walking tour and fantasy through designed street with surprises and curves for destroying the repetitive fashion from the modern architect, “less was not more” Mister van der Rohe and “decorative building wasn’t a crime”, but, grid city are a criminal urbanism.
7 - You will give an identity to each neighbourhood by building cult and cultural buildings.
8 - Your paths will be radiant on these spiritual haunts, they naturally guide you to what will be best for your heart.
9 - The pathway is the model, it is really adapted because its narrowness offers shade to its passers-by, it is also twisted to avoid the wind and all those hot and dry winds that transform the city into an urban desert.
10 - Your city will be composed of blocks and you will do that your architects abstain from creating basic building, block of profitable properties, you will proscribe this kind of obsolete model invented by men to better exploit the man. You will avoid checkerboard plans, they were invented to break creativity and make men without soul to format them better, checkerboard plans enrich only the unscrupulous surveyors and promoters (develloper)

“Every day, we create new identities on social media. Fragmentary and carefully chosen stories from our lives cross paths with staged photographs; that is, with different or optomized versions of ourselves. Again, and again, the question arises to what extent these artificial, digital identities are real, and whether reality depends on a tangible (human) corporeality.” (Steinek, S. 2018; 166)
e-maGen is a series of images which explores and comments on:
❀ The e-maGined world, the creation of a new identity, a 'virtual person'
❀ The culture of social media aesthetics and it's transience
❀ How people use online identities to portray different personas
❀ The question of the 'true self'
❀ The 'e-maGined identity' versus the real identity:
✧ Is it just a performance for an audience?
✧ A filtered identity where features are manipulated?
✧ Can she escape being human to be non-human?
✧ Or does she still appear human, and can't escape being human?

November 7, 2018 at 7:00pmtil 9:00pm at George Orwell Pub
A curated series of national and international artists’ shorts reflecting the festival theme of Lifespans including future of visions of AR, the start of a revolution, and the future of dance.
Featuring Gina Czarnecki, Jeremy Bailey, Floris Kaayk, Francois Knoetze, Mike Pelletier, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, Keiichi Matsuda, Bex Ilsley, Mary Maggic Tsang.
Full screening notes:
Gina Czarnecki, Infected (2001) 8 mins.
Infected is a film about the nature of the physical body in the context of future technological possibilities, seen through dance and digitally manipulated imagery. The new bio-engineered body is still an sexual, organic, stark, brutal, pounding system. It is beautiful, repulsive, indulgent, curious, emotional, un/controlled, breeding, changing… Is this a futuristic vision of the human body infiltrated and changed, ‘infected’ by biotechnology? Or is the reverse happening? Is the human body, the warm-blooded body of sinews and emotions, corrupting the ‘pure light’ of technology? Infected features Scottish dance artist, Iona Kewney, and a specially commissioned score by Fennesz.
Floris Kaayk, The Order Electrus (2005) 7 mins. 35 sec.
The Order Electrus is a fictional documentary which shows Floris Kaayk’s imaginary world of industrialised nature, situated in a derelict area of the Ruhr in Germany. Due to overcapacity in production systems, many factories in Germany were forced to close down. Over the course of many years these derelict industrial areas became a breeding ground for an electrical insects species, also called the Order Electrus. These insects evolved through the merging of nature and technology.
Mike Pelletier, Still Life (2017) 4 mins. 7 sec.
“This animation combines my interest of contemporary technological forms with the more classical form of still life painting. What attracts me to still life paintings is how the paintings can study the form of their subject but also reveal much about how they are made. The quality and materiality of paint exist on equal footing with the study of light, color and form. I took inspiration from the term “still life” itself, by focusing on the idea of stillness. I also took inspiration from how the term is expressed in French as “Nature Morte,” which can be literally translated to dead nature. In this animation the stillness, unnaturalness and deadness of these virtual objects becomes the focus of the piece.”
Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, Making You (2016) 7 mins. 32 sec.
“Anxious to Make is the collaborative practice of Liat Berdugo and Emily Martinez, two commissioning bodies. Our focus is on the so-called “sharing economy” and the contemporary artists “anxiety to make” in the accelerationist, neoliberal economic landscape. While Anxious to Make’s physical existence takes many shifting forms, it often manifests as a series of video commissions, downloads, online generators, workshops, net art interventions, and sweepstakes. Anxious to Make believes in absurdist extremes as way to examine contemporary realities. Our work has appeared recently in The Wrong Biennale, Transmediale (Berlin, DE), Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, MoMA PS1, V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media, WRO Media Art Biennale and The Luminary (St. Louis, MO).”
Keiichi Matsuda, Hyper-Reality (2016) 6 mins. 15 sec.
Our physical and virtual realities are becoming increasingly intertwined. Technologies such as VR, augmented reality, wearables, and the internet of things are pointing to a world where technology will envelop every aspect of our lives. It will be the glue between every interaction and experience, offering amazing possibilities, while also controlling the way we understand the world. Hyper-Reality attempts to explore this exciting but dangerous trajectory. It was crowdfunded, and shot on location in Medellín, Colombia, and presents a provocative and kaleidoscopic new vision of the future, where physical and virtual realities have merged, and the city is saturated in media. It is the latest work in an ongoing research-by-design project by Keiichi Matsuda.
Francois Knoetze, Core Dump (2018) 11 mins. 45 sec.
Core Dump explores the place of screens in global and localised politics and history, looking specifically at the contradiction of Silicon Valley’s techno-utopianism and its impact on the low-tech manufacturing bases of Africa. The project comprises a series of performances, projection-mapping video installations, and interviews that draw from audiovisual archives, early African cinema and the daily life of the cities of Dakar and Kinshasa. These two cities represent both the origin points of mineral extraction for materials used in the production of technology, and the end points at which certain African countries become dumping grounds for electronic waste from Europe and the USA which is then often repaired, re-purposed and reused. In contrast to the spectacle of technological singularity and the Western myth of progress, Core Dump considers the connections, disruptions and contradictions inherent in these ideas, through conflicting designations of value and waste.
Bex Ilsley, Codex (2016) 3 mins. 30 sec.
Bex Ilsley is an artist based in Coventry. Her practice explores the nature of body and personality in virtual, physical, and psychological spaces. Fantasy, performativity, objecthood and paradox are used as a lens through which to examine the authenticity of these structures. Codex was filmed in April 2016 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA, on The Moon, a multidisciplinary arts space. It was produced In collaboration with Los Angeles based videographer Bokeh Monster and INTERSPACE, a student arts organisation from Kendall College of Art and Design. The film is a re-interpretation of a specific illustration from Luigi Serafini’s 1981 book Codex Seraphinianus, updated as a music video for the social media age. Music: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – ‘Work This Time’
Jeremy Bailey, Transhuman Dance Recital (2007) 6 mins. 29 sec.
“From this point forward I dedicate myself to finding better ways for humans to dance.” – Famous New Media Artist Jeremy Bailey
Mary Maggic Tsang, Egstrogen Farms (2015) 1 min.
Egstrogen Farms is a tactical media project that addresses the domestication of women’s reproductive abilities by the biotech industry, including hormonal therapies in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) sector. Presented as a fictional company, a parodic diversion of exchanges between species, Egstrogen Farms markets genetically modified eggs that produce a “cocktail of gonadotropins” to allow women to ovulate as frequently as chickens do. Inspired by the work of collectives such as subRosa or Critical Art Ensemble, Egstrogen Farms delivers a critique on the current commercialization of reproduction and expands the symbol of the egg as a therapeutic, nutritional and reproductive matrix.
Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, A Short History of My Art Practice (2016) 15 mins. 17 sec.
In answer to the question, what is it that you do? – perennially asked of contemporary artists – Nemerofsky summarises fifteen years of professional practice in fifteen minutes, describing and re-embodying key artworks in his sound- and video-centric work.

Imagine if insights from the field of cortical prosthetics in human and non-human primates were combined with research on bodily self-consciousness in humans. Signals recorded by multi-electrodes implanted in the motor cortex can already be used to control robotic arms and legs. Cognitive cortical prosthetics will allow the use of other cortical signals and regions for prosthesis control. Several research groups are investigating indications that the conscious experience of being in a body can be experimentally manipulated.
The frontal and temporoparietal signals that seem to be involved encode fundamental aspects of the self, such as where humans experience themselves to be in space and which body they identify with (O. Blanke and T. Metzinger Trends Cogn. Sci. 13, 7–13; 2009). If research on cortical prosthetics and on the bodily self were applied to humans using brain-controlled prosthetic devices, there might be no clear answer to Clausen's question: which of them is responsible for involuntary acts?
It may sound like science fiction, but if human brain regions involved in bodily self-consciousness were to be monitored and manipulated online via a machine, then not only will the boundary between user and robot become unclear, but human identity may change, as such bodily signals are crucial for the self and the 'I' of conscious experience. Such consequences differ from those outlined by Clausen for deep brain stimulation and treatment with psychoactive drugs.

Transhumane: The Immortality of Self is a series of images which explore:
>The symbiosis between the human self and the online self we paint with social media
>How you live forever on the Internet
>Whether the virtual self will be frozen in time, or will it construct itself a virtualised reality of its own?
>How social media leeches into our subconscious, becoming part of ourselves
>If in the future, AI will reanimate us from our online personalities into a virtual persona...

When I was 19 I was trying to figure out what to study in college, and I went to the Extro 4 conference to find out what other transhumanists did professionally.
When I was there I talked to Anders Sandberg, who told me about computational neuroscience. I remember thinking "Brains and Computers... Awesome!"
And so I went and got a BS in Neuroscience and a MS in Computational Biology.
Almost a full decade after the conversation at Extro 4 (and I hadn't interacted with him since then) I got an e mail from Anders asking me to speak at their Whole Brain Emulation Workshop, to help build a research roadmap for uploading.
