🏙️ Digital infrastructure for Fab Cities

While the global movement around fab cities, fab labs and the maker scene is growing, there is a digital infrastructure missing enabling a data-based circular economy on both the global and local sphere.

The interfacer team worked for addressing the need of this new infrastructure and proposes now an initial application of an open source software stack called Fab City OS.

Fab city is an innovative urban model that re-localises production to the city and its bioregional context, by empowering communities with the technology to build their own sustainable, innovative and regenerative urban futures.

A series of videos from an event that was co-organized and co-hosted by Rhizome and interdisciplinary contemporary arts organization Kadist. The primary goal of this event was to consider to what extent the work of institutions might be propelled forward using new models such as DAOs and NFTs. The conversation gathered 'artists, developers, and thinkers' such as Jason Bailey, Trevor McFedries, Priyanka Desai, Mat Dryhurst, Holly Herndon, Keller Easterling, and Hito Steyerl.

Stories from the New Aesthetic took place at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City on October 11, 2012.

The New Aesthetic is an ongoing research project by James Bridle, investigating the intersections of culture and technology, history and memory, and the physical and the digital. At a panel at South by Southwest this past March, Aaron Straup Cope, Ben Terrett, James Bridle, Joanne McNeil, and Russell Davies discussed ideas related to the project, which sparked a series of responses and ideas from artists, writers, and theorists across the web.

The New Silent was a series of programs, presented by Rhizome at the New Museum, that explored contemporary art engaged with emerging technology and examined the ways digital technologies alter our lives and experiences of urban spaces. The series comprised screenings and performances, as well as a critical conversational strand, which brought together leading scholars, artists, critics, and public figures to illuminate the complex interactions between technology, culture, and creative practice. Named for the generational theories of Neil Howe and William Strauss, the New Silent presented artists working at the furthest reaches of technological experimentation as well as those responding to the broader aesthetic and political implications of new tools and media.

New Black Portraitures was a group exhibition co-presented by Rhizome and the New Museum, curated by Aria Dean. Featuring works by Rindon Johnson, Hamishi Farah, Sondra Perry, Redeem Pettaway, Pastiche Lumumba, n-prolenta, Manuel Arturo Abreu, and Juliana Huxtable, it explored the changing status of black portraiture in relation to strategies for visibility, concealment, and self-representation online.
