SUMMARY:Speculate Futures meet up: Technology in Public Spaces
DESCRIPTION:\n\nHosted by: Anouk Geenen\, Julieta Matos Castano in collabor
 ation with  Esmeralde Marsman  and .zipper Louisa Teichmann.\n\nHow can 
 we reimagine technology to help strengthen connections between people and 
 the places they live?\n\nLet’s explore that question together on 2 April
  during our meetup.\nThis is the third and closing event in a series where
  we reflect on and reimagine the connection between technology and communi
 ty life in cities.\n\nDuring the first event\, an unconference that took 
 place on 27 January\, we came together to explore questions and issues par
 ticipants experience around public technology. During the 'unhackathon' th
 at followed on 27 February\, participants redesigned public technologies a
 round two of the previously identified topics and created new speculative 
 technologies.\n\nDuring our meetup on 2 April\, we will introduce two spec
 ulative technology concepts that emerged:\n\n 	One of them imagines a publ
 ic transport experience where your daily tram or metro ride becomes a shar
 ed space for urban poetry\, questions\, sounds and stories created by fell
 ow travellers.\n 	The other explores how technology could help people shar
 e experiences of public space\, as if the city itself had senses that coul
 d capture and transmit moments to others.\n\nThese two concepts are specul
 ative prompts to help us think differently about how technology could supp
 ort connection and care for place and for each other.\n\nThis time\, we wi
 ll explore these ideas\, reflect on them\, and imagine the kinds of future
 s they might inhabit and create. We will do so in an active format\, where
  we will specifically focus on placing the discussion in the context of Ro
 tterdam. What could we learn from them about how we design technology and 
 community life today?\n\nYou do not need to have attended the previous eve
 nts to join. If you enjoy inspiring conversations with a diverse group of 
 people\, imaginative thinking\, and an informal and creative atmosphere\, 
 we would love to see you there on 2 April!\n\n
