Mobility

Hey People,

My contribution to the main BLOG site, has largely revolved around thinking about the experience of being mobile, on a individual level i guess on a 1:1 scale.

looking at ways or circumstance which controls or shapes the way we become mobile in the 21st century.

It began as a critique of the Urban Realm and how options for use and for movement around the city are 'offered' to us by planners and architects and saw several links within what i was thinking at the time and the video that Charlie posted. i speculated that maybe the users should decide how the space is used and that maybe by some type of Group wisdom or collective consciousness; could offer the ideal conditions for each of the cities users or atleast a more democratic version of daily reality.

links related to this cropped up again and again on the blog:

starlings:
Flash mobs:
parkour:
so now i am attempting to understand mobility before it gets to the 'collective' stage and should be posting more soon.... mainly in video format my first video can be found here, now when i started it i told myself it was relevant and hopefully it will make sense as i post more videos.
