Civic Sousveillance

During the Civic Sousveillance Workshop in Amsterdam, citizens collectively mapped over 100 surveillance cameras in just 20 minutes. This crowdsourced initiative reveals how cameras are becoming cheaper, smaller, and more embedded in public space — and why civic oversight is essential for democratic, transparent smart cities.

City AI

City AI

Data-technology and AI in the cityscape is outpacing plans from urban planners & architects. Countless cameras, sensors and algorithms register, analyze and control what we do, how we feel and even who we are. In the art-science installation AI INCUBATOR multi-media artist Vladimir Grafov evokes, in co-creation with architects/researchers Federica Cefis Colombo and Frank Suurenbroek, the advance of AI in the urban environment. The installation raises the question how to collaborate with this new ‘technological species’.
