[Future] My notes on Bruce Sterling’s talk in munich

Here are my notes on Bruce Sterling’s talk in Munich. It was about his spime concept.

Shaping Things to Come: there are six trends, convergent and integral part of a general concept, six sides of a black box:
  1. interactive ships, objects can be labelles with unique identity
  2. local and precise positioning systems
  3. powerful search engines
  4. 3d virtual models of objects
  5. rapid prototyping of objects
  6. cradle to cradle recycling

    Your notes are excellent, cheers. The spime concept as explained by bruce sterling was a bit fuzzy. But as a dynamic, malleable signifier it makes more sense. They can be e.g. signal, code, uri, barcode etc. and the medium may change but the information remains. Metadata = spime?
