Mede in het kader van het Stadsmakerscongres organiseerde AIR op 22 april 2021 een ‘expert-sessie’. rond technologie en architectuur; in mijn recente boek een belangrijk thema. Drie presentaties/lezingen van mij (Martin Pot), Johan Hanegraaf (ARKIO) en Wessel van Beerendonk (Studio RAP) dienden als inleiding tot een boeiend debat, gemodereerd door Leon van Geest. Thijs van Tetering maakte een verslag: met dank voor de fraaie illustraties….

a lecture by invitation of BNI on April 13th. 2017 at Intersteel Rhenen about the impact of IoT on interior-architecture and design; resulting in a fine discussion about the role/position of the architect and the consequences of technology within the home-environment.
Tussen 2014 en 2016 bracht Theatercollectief Urland 3 voorstellingen rond technologie en maatschappij. “De Internet Trilogie is een collectieve, digitale trip waarin het lichaam transformeert en de toekomst voelbaar wordt gemaakt. De rite schrijft de mythe, natuurlijk op het analoge toneel.” Na afloop van de voorstelling op 4 november 2016 in de Schouwburg Rotterdam werd een boeiende inhoudelijke discussie gevoerd tussen regisseur Florian Hellwig, Martin Pot en publiek.
a lecture at Blue City Rotterdam by invitation on April 28th. 2016 for Booosting, the Platform for Building Innovation, on the Internet of Things & Built Environment at Blue City in Rotterdam. Together with Floris Schiferli (Superuse) and Jeffrey Braun (afd. Buitengewone Zaken) and a group of architects we discussed the role and impact of the IoT within the built environment.
Last Saturday, on WW-IoT-day April 9 we experienced a most inspiring and thoughtful event at V2 with the participation of 5 fine speakers: Rob van Kranenburg about the balance between objects and processes, Linda Kool about Intimate technology and the recent privacy report, Ben van Lier about the 4th.Industrial Revolution, Justin McKeown about the need for human initiative and values, Gerd Kortuem about data-literacy; all building on Jurgen Wege’s notes at the beginning and moderated by Leon van Geest. A debate on the autonomy of objects, the importance of human values, the need for an ethical discussion as well as data-literacy.

On April 9th. 2015, the 4th. IoT, Built Environment & Smart City conference, now organized as a MeetUp, was held in Rotterdam, this year back on its original location, i.e. V2, Institute for the Unstable Media. Besides a fine line-up of speakers, among which Nimish Biloria (TUD-Hyperbody, Ben van Lier (Centric), Jan Belon (Buitengewone Zaken) , Floris Schiferli (Superuse), also one political party from Rotterdam (Nils Berndsen/D66) was present; which can only be admired, given the subject. Worthwhile in particular was the lecture (read by me due to her illness) from Cristina Ampatzidou; and especially the closing debate, moderated – like the whole event by Leon van Geest – delivered some interesting discussions and statements.
Next to many technologically focused and/or business-case driven meetings there was this much needed recent conference in York: IoT-Philosophy, from 3rd.-5th. of July 2014. Initiated/organised by Rob van Kranenburg (Sociotal), Justin McKeown (Univ.York St.John) and Joachim Walewski. It provided the framework for a thorough thinking: from the website’s homepage: “do we want to simply leave market forces to shape our reality? Or is there a deeper need, given the significance of this technology, to consider its ramifications within a philosophical context?”.
