Occupy Wall Street Photography

Occupy Wall Street Photography | URBANmedias | Scoop.it

Photographer Bradford Gregory recently turned his camera away from the fashion world and started snapping pictures of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Taking powerful black and white photos, Gregory captures the action behind these now famous scenes saying that the "young people on Wall Street are giving voice to many of the problems that working people in America have been confronting over the last several years."

Après le gratte-terre mexicain de BNKR Arquitectur, voilà un projet russe par AB Elis Ltd. qui se propose d'invéstir la dépression d'une ancienne mine de diamant pour aménager un complexe résidentiel. Mieux ficelé que son pendant mexicain, ce projet saura t'il vous convaincre de vous expatrier en Sibérie ?

Beth Coleman on “Tweeting the Revolution”by Ethan Zuckerman

Beth Coleman on “Tweeting the Revolution”by Ethan Zuckerman | URBANmedias | Scoop.it

Beth Coleman presents some of her recent research on the protests in Tahrir square, and a broader theory of how social networks and activism in the physical world work together today at the Berkman Center. With her is Mike Ananny, her coauthor and researcher in danah boyd’s lab at Microsoft Research. The presentation, “Tweeting the Revolution”, tries to understand how we read large data sets to understand located action. This is a timely topic because we’re seeing a rise in protest activity that’s been missing from the public sphere for a few decades. Coleman wants to know what we can understand about social media and people’s willingness to take an activist stance.

Architecture et réalité augmentée : Mediating Mediums.

L'intérêt de ce projet de fin d'étude de l'architecte américain Greg Tran, c'est la manière avec laquelle il réalise une synthèse des grande tendances de la réalité augmentée appliquée à l'architecture, en matière d'interaction avec l'existant, d'échange avec l'usager, d'aide à la conception et de visualisation.

#OccupyWallStreet: origin and spread visualized by Gilad Lotan

#OccupyWallStreet: origin and spread visualized by Gilad Lotan | URBANmedias | Scoop.it

Last week we published an analysis on the usage of hashtags around the #OccupyWallStreet movement on Twitter, why some phrases reach Twitter’s trending topics list, while others never do. The crux of the the argument highlighted the outcomes of a purely algorithmic mechanism that Twitter uses to generate its trending topics lists.

We’ve all seen an increasing usage of the #Occupy hashtag, splintering into a wide range of sub-movements -> #OccupyBoston, #OccupyVancouver, #OccupySF and many more.
