Censure
Je lis sur le site de Kitetoa que les salariés de France Telecom R%D ne peuvent naviguer sur ce même site (Kitetoa). Un filtre (webwasher) en interdit l’accès. C’est magnifique de voir qu’une entreprise francaise qui se veut de pointe adopte un comportement dictarorial. La bannière est éloquente : “ce site n’est pas autorisé”. Etrange vu que Kitetoa n’a rien de pornographique, pedophilique… juste subversif aux yeux de certains.
Enfin, je lis que BNP Paribas, le ministère de la culture et Dassault en interdisent aussi l’accès. Peut être qu’ils ne comprennent pas le contenu de kitetoa ? Vu leur imperméabilité à l’innovation ce n’est pas étonnant (la fusion bnp paribas a totalement affaibli le think tank L’atelier). On s’en fout mais c’est dommage pour les insiders.
My place
It’s too hot to blog these days. Thus, I post pictures 🙂 here is the building where my flat is located near the Lake Leman :

Innovation and military stuff
“one cannot understand the development of information tech, without understanding the evolution of military strategy”

Locative x-i
The international workshop entitled “Locative media” focusing on GPS, mapping and positioning technologies took place from July 16 – 26, 2003 at the K@2 Culture and Information Centre on an abandoned military installation in Liepaja on the coast of the Baltic Sea. The workshop brought together an international group of artists and researchers interested in notions of mobile geography aiming to explore how wireless networking impacts upon notions of space time and social organization.
How space structure language
I’ve found an interesting paper by Tversky and Lee about how spatial features are used to structure language.
“In perceiving a scene, figures are not just discerned and identified, they are also located. Figures are not located in an absolute way, but rather relative to other reference figures and/or a frame of reference. (…) Reference objects and reference frames serve to schematize the locations of figures. (…) How are reference objects and frames selected? Proximity, salience, and permanence are influential factors (Tversky, 1981; Tversky, Taylor, and Mainwaring, 1997).”
Referenced frames often used : natural borders, axes, side of a room, side of a piece of paper, horizontal and vertical lines (real or virtual)…
