The urban centres are the protagonists, the symbols of the industrial transformation that has taken place during the last decades. Today they are representative models of a constantly moving system, lived as an experimental place, together with the cities that are the symbols of the cultural life. A network event that takes place in some cities-enterprise which constitute the symbol of the transformation of the Venice area's economic and social fabric, and that will connect them to Verona, Venice and Trieste, symbols of the three region's cultural life in turn, where some key events will take place. Locations Rovereto (TN): The culture of sustainability - science and enterprise meet in Technopolis. Schio (VI): Reinvent the worlds: how art and culture can create new scenarios after the crisis. Union of the cities Camposampierese (PD): The networks of knowledge and communication. Montebelluna-Asolo (TV): Design as a competitive factor for the enterprise. Vittorio Veneto (TV): Spaces and landscape of a European capital: ideas for a new balance. Maniago (PN): The new cultural industries: the movie factor. Interland Udine (UD): The new "Marco Polo".

If a simple garage was good enough for Larry Page and Sergey Brin to start goliath search engine Google, it should be good enough for new startups trying to break out at a time when the odds are against them. So the advice of the day? Stop paying $5 for a latte, invest in a basic coffee machine and start innovating.

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:41:41 -0700 Speed, technological progress, and accidents http://oddtag.posterous.com/speed-technological-progress-and-accidents http://oddtag.posterous.com/speed-technological-progress-and-accidents [via] Rhizome [txt] Paul Virilio on the crisis - interview on Le Monde
Having destabilised the financial system, the stock exchange crash might well destabilise the state, which is the guarantor of last resort of collective life. For the time being, the state tries to be reassuring. But if the bourses keep on heading South, it will be state itself that will go in receivership, and that will plunge nations into chaos. This is not me embracing catastrophism. I do not believe that the worst is unavoidable, I do not believe in chaos, that is an untenable position, and it amounts to intellectual arrogance. But that does not mean that one should be prevented from thinking about it. Faced with absolute fear, I counter with hope absolute. Churchill said once that an optimist is somebody who sees opportunity hiding behind every calamity.
