A CITY OF INTELLIGENT MACHINES
The work of Future Cities Lab forecasts a coming world in which intelligent machines become key building blocks of the next city. The lab is at the forefront of exploring what Johnson calls "robotic ecologies" - places where biology and machine intelligence merge, evolve and co-create. The work of the lab explores how these revolutions will profoundly transform how we live, work, communicate and play in the future. As a part of the lab's core research they interrogate and dissect the cities we live in now, and then re-imagine and recast them into radically new and innovative forms. During Jason Kelly Johnson's talk, he will discuss the current work of the lab and situate it within larger cultural, social and ecological trends.
