Why “Smart” Cities Aren’t Just About Tech
Jason Schupbach: “I think what tech misses a lot is the culture of place. One of the biggest problems that happens in city development is that people are saying you can use the same solution everywhere without really understanding how a society works or what the culture of a place is. Just slap on this tech thing and it’ll just work, everybody will adopt it, why not, it’s awesome. So I feel like one of the things that creative placemaking can do really well, or that an artist can do really well, is to help be that bridge between the community and the tech company, or whoever’s trying to come in and do something.”

I’ve told Paul about stuff that has happened on set and it’s almost as if he can’t take it in. It’s too upsetting. And he’s never had to deal with that once.”
The Wage Gap For Actors Of Color Is Real, As The Hawaii Five-0 Mess Shows All Too Clearly

What’s The Point Of Intermissions?

Venice Has Been Crumbling For Centuries. But Why Is Its Crumbliness So Appealing?
“When did this love for ‘crumbling Venice’ begin, and why has it taken hold with such tenacity? By the time Victorian historian and art critic John Ruskin encountered the city in the 1840s, he thought Venice was so neglected that she might melt into the lagoon ‘like a lump of sugar in hot tea.’ It’s true that Ruskin feared any further deterioration, but what appalled him to an even greater extent was any attempt to modernize the city.”
