Hello Everyone,<br>
I am looking forward to the conference. I was a fond participant in
the 2009 event. <br>
<br>
I am an assistant professor at the New School in Historical Studies
and in the Design Studies MA program at Parsons. My work is on
histories of big data, cybernetics, and interactivity. Currently, I
work a lot on ubiquitous computing, responsive environments, and
smart cities, particularly in East Asia. I also work on histories of
intelligence, all forms--CIA, neuro-science, financial agents,
neural nets--many of which are linked.<br>
<br>
At the conference, I will be presenting a history of agent based
intelligence/modelling, and the transformations of crowds into
clouds. Its part of a new book project I am doing titled <i>Strange
Agency</i>:<i>A History of Post-War Intelligence.<br>
<br>
