[The Sarai Programme]

The Scalable City
An artist's Presentation by Sheldon Brown
4:30 P.M., Wednesday, 7 February 2007
Seminar-Room, Sarai-CSDS
29, Rajpur Road, Civil Lines.

Sheldon Brown, Director of the Center of Research in Computing and the
Arts and Professor of Visual Arts at the University of California San
Diego, will discuss and demonstrate his current project - The  
Scalable City.

The Scalable City is an interactive extrapolation of the cultural
condition arising from the interaction of users, data and algorithms.
As our world becomes increasingly characterized by this equation, we
find ourselves inhabiting the artifacts of these relationships.  The
Scalable City generates its urban environment via the choreography of
these artifacts.

Brown's work in general examines the relationships between mediated
and physical experiences. This work often exists across a range of
public realms.
