Futures Implied

May 2021
When brought into the city, no technology is a neutral enabler, a mere decoration, or even a marketplace of supply & demand. Urban technologies are built upon spoken and unspoken assumptions about urban life, each with peculiar implications for social relations and the natural ecosystem. It is time for the discipline of media architecture to get under its own skin, and address the implied futures of new technologies.
