on information


The aphorism "information wants to be free" has become a battle cry of resistance against information controls. A variety of interpretations provide useful insights into what constitutes this "freedom" in the information age. For designers of responsive systems regulating control and freedom in their designs remains a critical problem. How open should a system be? What role should public participation play in its instantion? How does the design engage public space? Who operationally maintains it? Who or what controls it objectives?
How to "free information" without making it just another cliche, how to define whats open and what to stay hidden. Its impossible to free all information, cause it would make our societies collaps, theres allways going to be someone whos just waiting for the right moment to misuse it. Whos to decide this?
In the cities of today it excists a microcosm wich reflects the major challenges and opportunities facing the planet today, only more intensified.
In the city, all man-made systems intersect, interact and interconnect with one another- forming a complex system of systems.
