Brain Explorer - StumbleUpon Carolyn Porco Porco was founder of The Day the Earth Smiled. She was also responsible for the epitaph and proposal to honor the late renowned planetary geologist Eugene Shoemaker by sending his cremains to the Moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft in 1998.[6][7] A frequent public speaker, Porco has given two popular lectures at TED[8][9] as well as the opening speech for Pangea Day, a May 2008 global broadcast coordinated from six cities around the world, in which she described the cosmic context for human existence.[10] Porco has also won a number of awards and honors for her contributions to science and the public sphere; for instance, in 2009, New Statesman named her as one of 'The 50 People Who Matter Today.'[11] In 2010 she was awarded the Carl Sagan Medal, presented by the American Astronomical Society for Excellence in the Communication of Science to the Public.[12] And in 2012, she was named one of the 25 most influential people in space by Time magazine.[13] Education[edit] Career[edit]
CONFERENCE SENTIENT CITY : ville de la connaissance et urbanisme open-source | immaginotecaimmaginoteca Une bonne partie de ce que je sais aujourd’hui sur les processus collaboratifs, l’urbanisme open source et la communication en réseau de l’architecture et du design vient de Madrid et, plus spécifiquement, des réseaux autour de Domenico Di Siena, architecte, consultant et chercheur italien travaillant à Madrid depuis des années. Avec lui j’ai fondé, en 2006, le mouvement Algomas, développé le projet de cartographie collaborative meipi en 2007. En 2010, j’ai rejoint son équipe à Ecosistema Urbano, où on a travaillé ensemble au network design de dreamhamar.Je suis donc très heureux d’annoncer aujourd’hui une conférence de Domenico Di Siena qui se tiendra à superbelleville coworking le 7 juin. Ce sera une bonne occasion pour découvrir l’innovation qui vient de la capitale espagnole. En Espagne, trouver du boulot en agence en sortant d’école d’archi, ça n’existe plus.

Yochai Benkler The Wealth of Networks With the radical changes in information production that the Internet has introduced, we stand at an important moment of transition, says Yochai Benkler in this thought-provoking book. The phenomenon he describes as social production is reshaping markets, while at the same time offering new opportunities to enhance individual freedom, cultural diversity, political discourse, and justice. But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today’s emerging networked information environment. In this comprehensive social theory of the Internet and the networked information economy, Benkler describes how patterns of information, knowledge, and cultural production are changing—and shows that the way information and knowledge are made available can either limit or enlarge the ways people can create and express themselves.
