Smart homes have generally been more successful in concept than in execution or in-home use. This problem is usually not one of technology, but of interaction and interface design - we can build a Smart Home, but who wants to use it? And how do they use it? Read more about Homesense, Tinker.it!

Interactive role-playing workshop to explore possible futures of the Internet of Things. During the workshop the teams will construct their own versions of the future IoT by taking a few specific 'roles' and following a special 'gameplay', collaborative and competitive at the same time.

The question of how to store, interpret, and use relevant information will be one of the most important in the coming decades with the increasing merging of analogue and digital situations, systems, and contexts. Not only computers, nut our whole environment is becoming smarter because computing power and connectivity disappear into it. What will business and cultural industry look like in such an environment? How will this changing environment will be translated into educational concepts?

In this workshop we will work with the premisse that vertical institutions will break under the weight of the internet based decision possibilities of evergrowing groups of people organizing themselves on all kinds of specific topics. How can we help existing institutions and power nodes to transform into a networked form of a variety of heterogeneous forms of organisation that need mediation?

This workshop to explore Internet of things at the scale of the City was run during the Council launch in 2009, by Gill Wildma of Plot.
Most of us will be living in cities in the future, and cities are a scale of operating most of us don't often get a chance to think at. Many cities are expanding exponentially – some 70 million people leave rural areas every year to join nearby cities, the majority to join squatter cities. At the same time brand new cities, such as Masdar - a carbon neutral city in Abu Dhabi - are being built right now. Read more about The Sensing City, with Plot

The two hour session of Council@Picnic (pictures by Slava Kozlov) on new ways of decisionmaking that are more suitable to the network was a very productive mix of short to the point but diverse presentations by Council members with as a first respondent Constantijn van Oranje-Nassau, a quick and dirty introduction by Usman Haque on his format for gaining participatory rapport in a diverse group, a 25 minute group effort with this format (4 groups of about 7 to 8 participants), and a one minute pitch to Picnic co-founder Marleen Stikker and Morelab member Inaki Vazquez.

This workshop will explore the emerging paradigm of end-user empowerment across a variety of application areas, in order to extend current HCI and Interaction Design research towards a better understanding of the implications of the notion of empowerment for user-centered design in different domains.

A new paradigm is slowly but surely emerging which will impose to revisit our concepts (e.g. from privacy to privacies, from human freedom to ethics in the knowledge sphere, from homogeneous information systems to heterogeneous mediators like (ro)bots, from data subject to the empowered citizen, etc. The pattern is on the side of decentralised, embedded, smart and connected machines/objects.
