Post City Kit
Future Catalysts Program at Ars Electronica 2015
for the development of the Post City Kit
Post City Kit is a toolkit of ideas, strategies, devices and prototypes for the city of the future. The city is – and will remain – a scene of a permanent human life and survival experiment. In condensed form here culture(s), social systems and economic and political policies of their time are coming to light.
The city, it would appear, is humankind’s most successful survival strategy, and still our greatest social experiment. It is an ongoing process and site-specific creative system. In its form and unique character, each city represents collective bits of the local, social and political decisions made by people.
Humans have always tried to adapt emerging technologies for better life in cities and have invented new ideas, tools and systems for their cities. How could we citizens possibly shape the city? How can we design social interaction in an urban setting? And how can we enable citizens to participate and engage in urban issues?
The Post City Kit – Ideas, Strategies, Tools and Prototypes to Improve our Cities
Following its successful premiere at Ars Electronica 2014, this year the Future Catalysts Program is again setting out to explore new ways to do collective brainstorming and creative prototyping. Together with experienced partners and a group of outstanding artists and innovators from all over the world, the goal will be to develop a Post City Kit: Ideas, Strategies, Tools and Prototypes to improve our cities.
