Studded with sensors, optimized by algorithms, interfaced via dashboards and apps, cities are imagined as computers writ large, planned “from the Internet up.” Yet this new age of sentient urbanism—in which place-based intelligence is reduced to “smartness”—has a long and deep lineage. Drawing on her new book, Code and Clay, Data and Dirt: 5000 Years of Urban Media, Shannon Mattern will take us on a world tour of cities that embody various materialities of intelligence: both code and clay, data and dirt, ether and ore.5:15 pm – 7:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
