Map Kibera

by Spone & 1 other
Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa's largest slum, remains a blank spot on the map. Without basic knowledge of the geography and resources of Kibera it is impossible to have an informed discussion on how to improve the lives of residents. This November, young Kiberans create the first public digital map of their own community.

MIT Media Lab: Reality Mining

by karlcow & 1 other

Reality Mining defines the collection of machine-sensed environmental data pertaining to human social behavior. This new paradigm of data mining makes possible the modeling of conversation context, proximity sensing, and temporospatial location throughout large communities of individuals. Mobile phones (and similarly innocuous devices) are used for data collection, opening social network analysis to new methods of empirical stochastic modeling.

The original Reality Mining experiment is one of the largest mobile phone projects attempted in academia. Our research agenda takes advantage of the increasingly widespread use of mobile phones to provide insight into the dynamics of both individual and group behavior. By leveraging recent advances in machine learning we are building generative models that can be used to predict what a single user will do next, as well as model behavior of large organizations.

World's Biggest Bauhaus Retrospective: The House That Mies and Walter Built - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

by karlcow

As it turns out, there's a good reason for holding the largest Bauhaus exhibition ever this year. "It is because this is also the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall," says one of the exhibition's curators, Klaus Weber, of the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin. Weber explains that there are three archives for Bauhaus memorabilia and documentation around Germany, one in each city where one of the schools was located: Berlin, Dessau and Weimar. "The three institutions used to cooperate even before 1989 -- but it was a little bit complicated," Weber admits. "So if it German reunification had not happened, then the three institutions would never have been able to work together like this."

Mannahatta » Home

by jeanruaud (via)
Ever wondered what New York like before it was a city? Welcome to Mannahatta, 1609. Now, after nearly a decade of research, the Mannahatta Project at the Wildlife Conservation Society has un-covered the original ecology of Manhattan. That's right, the center of one of the world's largest and most built-up cities was once a natural landscape of hills, valleys, forests, fields, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, beaches, springs, ponds and streams, supporting a rich and abundant community of wildlife and sustaining people for perhaps 5000 years before Europeans arrived on the scene in 1609
