hi, josie

thanks for bringing up this thread.

I am interested in Gordan Saviãiç's work,
http://www.yugo.at/processing/index.php?what=citycpu#

a city as a CPU...  I would go direct into more methodic approach, if
we would interprete ' transgressive social communication',  how
does it situate with today's social network tools? and strategically,
the openstreetmap scheme?
