World-Information City Conference


















Cubbon Park Auditorium, Bangalore
17-18 November 2005

Information - by which we mean the gamut of practices and processes of knowing and making known the world - can also be seen as that constellation of embodied intellectual labour, accumulated cultural capital and evolving knowledge systems that play a key part in the maintenance of the fabric of contemporary existence. In particular, the increasing importance of information in all its social expressions is becoming manifest in physical environments, and above all, in the shaping of urban spaces. The power structures that shape information as “intellectual property” are impacting more and more on the design of urban environments, often unhinging notions of social equality and giving rise to practices of disobedience.

But while information and its interaction with urban environments are part of everyday experience, it remains a grossly under-theorized category. World-Information City, and the conference that is placed at its culmination, is an effort on our part to inaugurate a set of discussions that we hope will inform future work in this area as well as contribute to debates within the public domain.

 INTRO 
The conference aims to initiate reflections on the histories of different information regimes and on the transformations of urban spaces in the emerging global information economy. It looks at the realities of intellectual property, surveillance and censorship and at efforts to counter them, and discusses the founding and sustaining of the “commons” of information, considering ways in which practices of knowledge uphold, transgress or subvert governing protocols of social, cultural and political life.
