Briefly introducing Bruce Sterling's ideas about 'shaping things' Medosch adds to this some of my his reflections about the contentious notion of techno-social 'progress'.

In conjunction with [ space.media.arts ] and Informal.org, this study looks at how wireless networking (WLAN) in London has developed over the last three years from hacktivist pastime to mainstream pursuit.
Comparing networks built by freenetwork groups, commercial hotspot providers, and public sector initiatives, the study also examines the sales and uptake of WLAN equipment and makes some direct measurements of wireless activity in the Greater London area.
Finally, the study looks at the development of WLAN in the home and makes a recommendation for a Wireless Festival for London in 2004/2005. |
