Inclemency of the Sun: Per Capita
presentation by Etienne Turpin
to the 'After Acephale: Politics and Poetics in the Decapitated Economy' session,
co-organized by John Paul Ricco and Etienne Turpin
American Comparative Literature Association
Seattle WA
The sun, according to Virginia Wolff, forces everything it touches to take on a fanatical existence. Bataille's reading of the solar economy opens on to the general economy as a means to undermine the discourse of scarcity and insist on a proliferation of tellurian energy, festering on the surface of the earth through forms-of-life. But the sun is not stable; its weather changes, its mood fluctuates. As scientists struggle to understand and predict the changes in solar weather and its implications for earthly electromagnetic infrastructures, this paper reconsiders Bataille's reading of the solar empire. In a cosmos that is not even indifferent to human endeavors, how do we characterize a solarity whose capricious temper threatens the very basis for human life ordered under advanced technological systems. Far from any rejection of Bataille's solar philosophy, the paper insists that by understanding the inclemencies of the sun's weather, we can complete Bataille's project of asserting the radical cosmic contingency of earth-based life. To sustain such a philosophy is necessary, but it also necessarily requires a cruel but unflinching understanding of our contingent cosmic inheritance, which, in Hamlet's apt adumbration, leaves us, perhaps, "too much in the sun" to remain willfully capitated.
Design For The Next 1 Billion Users:
Repurposing the Urban Interface
a lecture by Sara Dean & Etienne Turpin
California College of the Arts
SF Campus GC-4 CCA Graduate Building
184 Hooper Street
Big data technologies and ubiquitous connectivity have encouraged a rethinking of design practice, opening up new ways of approaching design, new methods of practice, and new engagements with cities and publics. At the same time, the global population is urbanizing, and the Global South is 'coming online' with increasing access to cheap connective technologies. This lecture will examine tools and strategies for integrating big data into design practice, emphasizing participatory, responsive, iterative, and collective design strategies within a changing global environment. Designers will need nimble tools to be act and adapt quickly, lightly, and tactically.
PetaJakarta.org—co-directed by Co-Principal Investigators Etienne Turpin and Tomas Holderness, in collaboration with design director and Project Investigator Sara Dean—is a multidisciplinary project using direct public engagement through social media to gather and assess real-time information about flood conditions and urban infrastructure. This bottom up approach to critical data sharing within the city enables the formation of a responsive, activist public through transparent information management. Using PetaJakarta.org as a case study, Etienne and Sara will share insights, strategies, and software for the next one billion users in complex urban systems.

A Natural History of Data Polities
Australian Center for Cultural Environmental Research
Department of Geography & Sustainable Communities
University of Wollongong NSW Australia
Campus B41.157
I will present some of my recent research in Indonesia which examines how power relations are revealed and transformed by practices of collecting. I will discuss several of my curatorial collaborations addressing the history of colonial collections in Southeast Asia and the production of natural history as a form of knowledge, including For a Minor Ornithology and 125,600 Specimens of Natural History. I will then discuss my current project at the SMART Infrastructure Facility—PetaJakarta.org, co-directed by Dr Tomas Holderness—which uses community-based data collection through open source platforms to promote community and environmental resilience in Jakarta, Indonesia. By addressing the relationship between the will to knowledge and the construction of data collections, I hope to encourage a discussion of postnatural and postcolonial practices that foster new data polities and support mutual aid, interspecies solidarities, and resilient ecologies.

The management of flood infrastructure in Jakarta, Indonesia, is a topic of tremendous complexity. While many researchers work to solve coastal inundation issues and develop proposals for the massive sea wall to address land subsidence and the rising sea level, the issue of urban flooding will persist without new methods for understanding and responding to flooding that results from rapid urbanization and increased precipitation and weather intensification as a result of climate change. PetaJakarta.org is a pioneering web-based flood data collection platform that uses open source software to gather, select, and sort information about flood situations through social media. Developed by the OSGeo Lab and the GeoSocial Intelligence Research Group at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong, in collaboration with BPBD DKI Jakarta, Twitter Inc., and Jakarta-based community organizations, the PetaJakarta.org platform uses big data mining, crowdsourcing, and designed engagement through social media to address urgent flooding issues.
In this lecture, Dr Turpin will present the PetaJakarta.org project as an alternative approach to flood mitigation and climate adaptation. They will argue that surviving climate change requires new methods for civic co-management that can facilitate assessment, response, and recovery through preparedness, participation, and cooperation. By involving Jakarta's social media-savvy citizens in the monitoring of flood conditions, PetaJakarta.org provides a real-time, low-cost, and highly effective way to address flooding in the city. This lecture anticipates the major public launch for the platform (details below), hosted by BPBD DKI Jakarta, with guests from the SMART Infrastructure Facility, Twitter Inc., and participating DKI Jakarta agencies and community organizations.

Inundation: Jakarta studio after closing conversation in Jakarta, Indonesia.
As Southeast Asia's most populous and dense metropolitan conurbation, with the second largest urban footprint in the world, Jakarta is a city of remarkable complexity. Recent trends in urbanization and development, extreme pollution, weather intensification, seasonal flooding, and sea level rise make it a key site for researching architecture's agency within the complex urban systems of the 21st century. Through careful research with communities along the Ciliwung River and other relevant districts in the city, together we co-produced proposals that address the megacity's unstable geography of water to promote more equitable urban development. The Inundation: Jakarta design research studio was premised on collaborative, multidisciplinary, community driven data collection. Such an approach required substantial research and careful design strategies. The studio was a very rare opportunity for architecture students to make actionable the results of a multi-year intercultural, intergenerational, and multidisciplinary collaborative research project on inundation and its ecological, social, and spatial consequences.

Etienne and Simon discuss the porophilia of geoscientists, subterranean infrastructures, the poropolitics of the undercommons, and the ethics of underground research. [Comments about Buddhist geologists from Mars are made in reference to Bronislaw Szerszynski's brilliant performance and text: "Liberation Through Hearing in the Planetary Transition: Funerary Practices in Twenty-Second-Century #Mangalayana Buddhism," published in Grain Vapor Ray.]
HKW Abstract: What is the geological character of a city? Excavating and analyzing the subsurface zone of the urban landscape, the applied geoscientist Simon Price establishes an underground morphology of anthropic centers. His dialogue partner, philosopher and urban researcher Dr Etienne Turpin, advocates "a geologic turn in architecture," promoting a more speculative, multidisciplinary, and activist research practice at the intersection of the urban, the environmental, and the political. Comparing their empirical fieldwork, this dialogue traces the methods and practices that inform approaches to the city as both an archival assembly of the Anthropocene as well as the ground for politicized architectural theory.

Why were there tigers?
essay by Etienne Turpin

(Berlin: HKW / Revolver Publishing, 2014; Cambridge: MIT Press, 2015)
Captive tiger feeding at the infamous Pata Zoo, Bangkok, Thailand (2013).
Among the litany of philosophical metaphors intended to relay the experience of loss related to the fleeting condition of meaningfulness, Georges Bataille, in his theoretical introduction to The Accursed Share [La part maudite], offers an exemplary, halting simile: tigers are to space what sex is to time. If Bataille's metaphoric riddle seems in opposition to the more perspicuously argued claims of traditional economists, this is no doubt because his intention is to destroy, with his theory of general economy, the ubiquitous presumptions of traditional economic logic. As with nearly all of his literary works, in even this most abstract and philosophical text Bataille captures our attention with descriptions of the flesh, all the better to entangle our desire with matters of conceptual concern. A third pair of terms further implicates the sociality of bodies: for Bataille, as sex is to time, and as tigers are to space, potlatch is to society—a prolific arena for a flourishing of extremity and expenditure. This essay examines Bataille's premonitory contribution to a theory of the Anthropocene by considering the notion of expenditure within the context of his philosophy of a general economy.

PetaJakarta.org researchers test GeoSocial Rapid Assessment Survey Platform (#GRASP) for post-flood damage assessments as children look on in Bukit Duri, Jakarta, Indonesia.
In the data-rich environments of contemporary megacities, free and open source software (FOSS) platforms can help make legible trends, transformations, and opportunities regarding community resilience. Critical for the development of such platforms are questions about how citizens are mobilized through designed engagement, how their participation is validated, and how the insights revealed are integrated into new governance models that enable and encourage political transparency, participatory budgeting, and civic co-management. The lecture will present recent and ongoing #bigdata research from the GeoSocial Intelligence Research Group (GSI) at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong, and the 'Data Made Me Do It' Research Initiative at the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design. Supported by the FOSS platform CogniCity, developed by the SMART OSGeo Lab, GSI is coordinating infrastructure research through the social media platform Twitter as part of the PetaJakarta.org Joint Pilot Study with the Jakarta Emergency Management Agency and the United Nations Pulse Lab Jakarta. At the College of Environmental Design, faculty and students are experimenting with CogniCity as new tool for urban research in the domains of environmental design and urban planning. In both projects, the aim is to accelerate the transition from social media data mining to a GeoSocial Intelligence Framework and thereby promote the democratic co-management complex urban environments through the integration of small and big data sources and methods.

The presentation will examine several forms of political violence as revealed by the current DKI Jakarta government's plan for widespread "normalization." This normalization plan—whereby Jakarta's urban poor are first blamed for congestion, overcrowding, and recurrent flooding, and then violently displaced, only to be replaced by more affluent and ecologically imperiling settlements—will be read as an aesthetic strategy for "urban renewal" characteristic of neoliberal capitalism in the Anthropocene. This strategy is, fundamentally, an attempt to decisively and coercively separate "urbanism" from "poverty." Rather than posing a critique of such coercive processes of dispossession, I will attempt in the lecture to show how a data-driven design research practice can create modes of interference among these processes. I will suggest how design, as a practice of social emancipation, can meaningfully confront political violence by advancing strategic forms of solidarity, mutual aid, and community mobilization.

Evacuation safety rope lines, installed by community, Bukit Duri, Jakarta, Indonesia, January 2014; integrating "small" and "big" urban data sources for disaster response is critical component of the CogniCity.info FOSS project.
In the data-rich environment of complex urban systems, free and open source software (FOSS) platforms can make legible trends, transformations, and opportunities for climate co-adaptation. Critical for the development of such platforms are questions about how urban data is effectively crowdsourced; how the collection processes and the integration of scales can produce nontrivial data visualizations; and, how the insights revealed should be integrated into new governance models that enable and encourage political transparency, participatory budgeting, and civic co-management. The lecture will present recent #bigdata research from the GeoSocial Intelligence Research Group (GSI) at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, which is attempting to re-engineer social media data mining to enable equitable climate co-adaptation. Supported by their FOSS platform CogniCity.info, GSI/SMART is coordinating interventive infrastructure research through the social media platform Twitter as part of the PetaJakarta.org Joint Pilot Study, in collaboration with the Jakarta Emergency Management Agency and the United Nations Pulse Lab Jakarta. The lecture will advocate for an accelerated turn from geospatial data mining toward a GeoSocial Intelligence Framework for the equitable co-management of infrastructure to address climate change.

A GeoSocial Intelligence Framework for Studying & Promoting Resilience to
Seasonal Flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia
conference presentation by Tomas Holderness & Etienne Turpin
2nd International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure
hosted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis
Vienna Austria
Jakarta residents living along the North coast are increasingly confronted by rapid development processes that challenge more traditional means for resilience to flooding and extreme weather events.
PetaJakarta.org is a web-based platform developed to harness the power of social media to gather, sort, and display information about flooding for Jakarta residents in real time. The platform runs on the open source software CogniCity—an OSS platform developed by the SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong—which allows data to be collected and disseminated by community members through their location-enabled mobile devices. The project uses a GeoSocial Intelligence Framework to approach the complexity of Jakarta's entangled hydraulic, hydrological and meteorological systems and thereby converts the noise of social media into knowledge about urban infrastructure and situational conditions related to flooding and inundation. In this paper, we will discuss their GeoSocial Intelligence Framework as it applies to their current research in Jakarta. We will also present our preliminary findings from their 2014 Twitter #DataGrant, which has allowed them to develop a correlative analysis between historic social media information, the Jakarta government's flood maps, and the infrastructure used to manage critical flood emergencies. Finally, they will speculate on several future applications of the CogniCity OSS and suggest how it might be developed to further promote an integrated civic co-management platform with the support of business, industry, government and community organizations.
Prototypes for Designed Engagement:
Big Data and Design Strategies
a workshop by Etienne Turpin, Sara Dean, and Tomas Holderness workshop
College of Arts, Media and Design, Northeastern University Boston, USA
Big data technologies and ubiquitous connectivity have revealed new potential operations for design practice. Beyond new tools and platforms that engage crowd-sourced and real-time data, big data technologies open up new ways of approaching design, new methods of practice, and new engagements with cities and publics. At the same time, the global population is urbanizing, and the Global South is 'coming online' with increasing access to cheap connective technologies. It is projected that one billion new users will come online in the Global South in 2015, radically changing the makeup of the digital publics and offering new opportunities for participatory civic structures. This workshop will examine some of the prototypes for integrating big data into design practice, emphasizing participatory, responsive, iterative, and collective design strategies within a changing global environment.
PetaJakarta.org, co-directed by Etienne Turpin and Tomas Holderness, in collaboration with design director Sara Dean, is a multidisciplinary project which uses direct public engagement through social media to gather and assess real-time information about flood conditions and civic infrastructure. This bottom up approach to critical information sharing within the city and enables the formation of a responsive, activist public through transparent public information systems. Etienne, Sara, and Tomas will share some insights, strategies, and software for the next generation of research on complex urban systems.
During the workshop, students will learn about the applicability, transferability, and adaptability of emerging methods for the integration of participation strategies, social media, big data mapping, and crowdsourcing strategies through a series of exemplary projects and perspectives. The workshop will explain how new tools, techniques, and critical strategies for designing within this emergent urban phenomenon and global connectivity, and what big data offers artists, designers, and researchers designing for the near future.

Community-led mapping practices have become an integral part of architecture and design, geography and urban studies, and artistic, curatorial, and social scientific research. In order to study the transformation of urban systems, researchers can no longer rely on inherited, proprietary maps; the next generation of urban scholars are learning to map the city with new tools and, together with residents, develop public, open source, and open access resources for civic co-management and participatory democracy.
Essential for this work is developing a better understanding of how new open source software (OSS) and open data management tools can respond to community-led activities; such a dialogue must happen in both directions to allow the technical advancement to keep pace with community action and to allow community organizers to benefit from new OSS tools. During the Open Source Cities session at Open Platform, we will examine new methods of OSS development as means for community transformation, preservation, and resistance in an era of relentless urban "renewal" and development.
We welcome community organizers and planners in need of better mapping tools; technical experts working on open soft software development; and, funding bodies and government agencies who can support the development of these tools.

Cutting edge research on complex urban systems now hinges on the critical connection among several strategic areas for analysis: big data, social media, and crowdsourcing. While big data has been a recurrent buzz word for academic researchers, the integration of complex data sets for predictive analytics requires more than mere volume. Similarly, the explosive growth in social media usage, which has given researchers access to an unprecedented volume of data, continues to demand better tools for predictive analysis. Meanwhile, although crowdsourcing methods of data collection have met with some success, the full potential for integrated feedback networks among crowdsourcing tools remains to be fully explored. This workshop brings together leaders from government, industry, and international and community-led organizations to discuss the next generation of smart data collection through a GeoSocial Intelligence Framework.
At the SMART Infrastructure Facility, researchers working in multidisciplinary project teams are advancing a robust GeoSocial Intelligence Framework to move the study of complex urban systems from the noise of social media to the knowledge of predictive analytics by integrating the use of big data analysis and community-led crowdsourcing for the study and improvement of civic infrastructure. The PetaJakarta.org project, initiated by Dr. Etienne Turpin and Dr. Tomas Holderness, has hastened the construction of an open source software platform, called CogniCity, to help optimize data collection regarding critical flood information and develop new forms of feedback for the civic co-management of flood infrastructure in Jakarta, Indonesia. Dr. Turpin and Dr. Holderness are honored to host an esteemed group of leading researchers to share the insights, strategies, and software needed for the next generation of research on complex urban systems.
During this one day workshop, participants will hear presentations from leading scientists, organizers, and project coordinators and discuss the applicability, transferability, and adaptability of emerging methods for the integration of social media data, big data predictive analysis, and crowdsourcing strategies. While the overall aim of SMART is to use these complementary fields of research to better understand the resilience of both infrastructure and communities to extreme weather events and climate transformation, the value of developing integrated open source software platforms for geo-referencing big data and social media extends well beyond civil and environmental engineering. SMART invites researchers from all backgrounds concerned with developing new tools for studying emergent urban phenomenon to join us in this workshop to discuss the potential of an integrated GeoSocial Intelligence Framework.

>> Architecture in the Anthropocene:
Encounters Among Design, Deep Time, Science and Philosophy
edited by Etienne Turpin
Open Humanities Press
Research regarding the significance and consequence of anthropogenic transformations of the earth's land, oceans, biosphere and climate have demonstrated that, from a wide variety of perspectives, it is very likely that humans have initiated a new geological epoch, their own. First labeled the Anthropocene by the chemist Paul Crutzen, the consideration of the merits of the Anthropocene thesis by the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the International Union of Geological Sciences has also garnered the attention of philosophers, historians, and legal scholars, as well as an increasing number of researchers from a range of scientific backgrounds. Architecture in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Design, Deep Time, Science and Philosophy intensifies the potential of this multidisciplinary discourse by bringing together essays, conversations, and design proposals that respond to the "geological imperative" for contemporary architecture scholarship and practice. With contributions by Sara Dean, Michael C.C. Lin, John Palmesino, Ann-Sofi Rönnskog, Nabil Ahmed, Seth Denizen, Adam Bobbette, Emily Cheng, Eyal Weizman, Heather Davis, Jane Wolff, Amy Catania Kulper, Jane Hutton, Chester Rennie, Elizabeth Grosz, Lisa Hirmer, Mark Dorrian, Eleanor Kaufman, Meghan Archer, Isabelle Stengers, Guy Zimmerman, Amy Norris, Clinton Langevin, François Roche, Paulo Tavares.

The Intelligence of Excess
a guest lecture by Etienne Turpin
MScDesign 6438 What is energy and how (else) might we think about it?
by Sanford Kwinter & Kiel Moe
Harvard GSD
Gund Hall 14:00-17:00
"Schizo-Eden," from an adaptation of Jan Breughel and Peter Paul Rubens, The Garden of Eden (1615)
The lecture will address the contribution of Georges Bataille to a theory of urbanism by way of the concept of expenditure. Bataille's articulation of a theory of general economy and his premonitory vision of the Anthropocene will help us to examine questions of desire, energetics, and waste within contemporary complex urban systems. Such questions will be addressed theoretically, but also, more importantly, as they play out in the context of Jakarta, Indonesia, where Etienne currently co-directs the PetaJakarta.org project for urban resilience and climate adaptation. As the Fifth Assessment of the IPCC confirms that the sixth great planetary extinction is now well underway, the question of how to collaborate with excess is no longer an aesthetic paradigm but an art of survival on a planet afflicted by a suspicious, violent abundance.
PetaJakarta Receives Twitter #DataGrant for
"Using GeoSocial Intelligence to Model Urban Flooding in Jakarta, Indonesia" Proposal
From Twitter Engineering Blog:
"In February, we introduced the Twitter #DataGrants pilot program, with the goal of giving a handful of research institutions access to Twitter's public and historical data. We are thrilled with the response from the research community — we received more than 1,300 proposals from more than 60 different countries, with more than half of the proposals coming from outside the U.S. After reviewing all of the proposals, we've selected six institutions, spanning four continents, to receive free datasets in order to move forward with their research."

Open Source City: Innovation & Urban Resilience from a GeoSocial Intelligence Perspective
by Etienne Turpin & Tomas Holderness
'Innovation and its Contestants,'
5th Annual Emerging Scholars Conference
Department of Art History and Communication Studies
McGill University, Montreal, Quebec
As cities evolve to become increasingly complex systems of people and interconnected infrastructure, the impacts of both extreme and long-term environmental change are significantly heightened. Understanding the resilience of urban systems and communities in an integrated manner is key to ensure the sustainability of cities, which face considerable climatic, economic, and socio-demographic challenges in the 21st century. As Southeast Asia's most populous and most dense metropolitan conurbation, and the second largest urban footprint in the world, Jakarta's residents are exposed to rapid transformations of urban structures and systems. Recent trends in weather intensification, sea level rise, extreme pollution, severe land subsidence, and river and coastal inundation make Jakarta a key site for researching and responding to the 21st century challenges of urban resilience. Moreover, the combination of Jakarta's progressive municipal government, active civil society organizations, and increasing foreign capital investment all
suggest a unique potential for both transforming and improving the social life of residents through
a technologically-sophisticated, scientifically-innovative, and publicly accessible networked GeoSocial Intelligence Framework.
In this presentation, we will argue that although the proliferation of social media might first appear as so much noise for civil and information system engineers, with the proper open source software innovations for gathering, sorting, and analyzing data, this noise can be transformed into critical information for both understanding and promoting urban resilience and democratic practices. By connecting network models of urban infrastructure to crowd-sourced and social media-based data collection, and then making this information and analysis available through a public, web-based platform, our project links innovative areas of information science research and multiplies the potential of each by producing an innovative, open source framework for citizen-participation in the co-monitoring and co-management of urban systems.
Combining 'Big' and 'Small' Data to Build Urban Resilience in Jakarta
Etienne Turpin & Tomas Holderness interviewed by Giulio Quaggiotto
for the United Nations Global Pulse Blog
The SMART Infrastructure Facility project PetaJakarta.org aims to help communities tackle the chronic problem of flooding in the Indonesian capital, using a combination of crowdsourced data, social media and big data analysis. Pulse Lab Jakarta (PLJ) conducts Big Data for Development research and so we were interested to hear more from directors Etienne Turpin and Tomas Holderness about their perspectives on citizen engagement and the role that big and small data can play to increase urban resilience.

From Noise to Knowledge: Crowd-sourcing GeoSocial Intelligence in Jakarta's Urban Villages
by Etienne Turpin & Tomas Holderness
Association of American Geographers Annual Conference
Tampa USA
Session 4605 Environmental Justice Research
Contemporary Issues and Emerging Topics IV
Room: Room 5, TCC, First Floor (Paper Session)
Organized by Jayajit Chakraborty, University of South
Florida, and Sara Grineski, University of Texas at El Paso
Chaired by Bruce C Mitchell
Post-flood damage assessment survey with PetaJakarta.org/SMART Infrastructure Facility and Ciliwung Institute, Ciliwung River, March, 2014.
In this paper, we consider several forms of political violence and postnatural urbanism as revealed by the current DKI Jakarta government's plan for widespread "normalization." This normalization plan—whereby Jakarta's urban poor are first blamed for congestion, overcrowding, and recurrent flooding, and then violently displaced, only to be replaced by more affluent and ecologically imperiling settlements—is presented as a an aesthetic strategy for "urban renewal" characteristic of the auto-hypnosis of development under neoliberal capitalism. This strategy is, fundamentally, an attempt to decisively and coercively separate "urbanism" from "poverty." Rather than posing a critique of such coercive processes of dispossession, we attempt in this paper to show how a design research practice can create modes of interference among these processes. We will suggest how platforms for crowd-sourcing "geosocial intelligence" can be used to promote social emancipation and develop civic co-management strategies for infrastructure and resources that meaningfully alleviate political violence by advancing strategic forms of urban solidarity and community mobilization.
Between a Rock and Hard Plastic: Art in the Anthropocene
Sylvère Lotringer in conversation with Heather Davis and Etienne Turpin
Human Resource Los Angeles
In 2008, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power dumped 400,000 black plastic balls into the the Ivanhoe Resevoir to block out the sunlight, which was said to be causing the formation of carcinogenic bromate in the water. Although bromide is naturally present in groundwater and chlorine is used to kill bacteria, sunlight created the conditions for potentially lethal consequences for the 600,000 customers in downtown and South Los Angeles served by the reservoir. With the addition of 3 million more black balls in the following months, the LADWP battled against the sunlight as it undertook a new, massive earthwork-a 55 million gallon underground reinforced concrete tank, stretching over 7 acres, and hidden by a landscaped park-as a buried replacement reservoir to eliminate bothe Silver Lake and the Ivanhoe Reservoir, which, as "open air" water storage sites, were said to be obsolete.
Covering the reservoir with millions of polyethylene balls as a stopgap measure to prevent the production of carcinogenic compounds while hastening to reduce whole ecosystems to mechanical, subterranean tanks suggests a few of the unintentional aesthetic maneuvers revealed in the Anthropocene. How does our understanding of human "intention" change as we enter the era of Anthropocene? What does the shift demand from contemporary artistic and curatorial practices? What conceits does the this transformation demand from our aesthetic regimes? Art in the Anthropocene editors Heather Davis and Etienne Turpin will discuss the aesthetic implications of the Anthropocene with Sylvère Lotringer by considering the relative mineralogy and plasticity of recent installation, video, and literary works.
Navigating Postnatural Spatial Politics: Jakarta as the City of the Anthropocene
by Etienne Turpin & Tomas Holderness
Association of Asian Studies Annual Conference
Philadelphia USA
Flooding in Bukit Duri, Jakarta, in January 2013; photograph courtesy of Ariel Shepherd.
As Southeast Asia's most populous and most dense metropolitan conurbation, and the second largest urban footprint in the world, Jakarta , Indonesia, is a city of remarkable complexity. However, recent trends in weather intensification, sea level rise, extreme river pollution, river flooding, and coastal inundation have helped create, through multiplicative effects, one of the key sites for researching the combined effects of ecological and urban transformation as they influence 21st century Southeast Asian metropolitan existence. Our work examines the intersections of extreme environmental circumstances, especially the problem of inundation, and creative engineering and architectural production. Focusing on highly-dense urban locations that face the regular and damaging occurrence of inundation, our project harnesses the power of social media to understand pressures on infrastructure in the city. Our paper will explain our current research in Jakarta and develop the themes of the postnatural and hypercomplexity in relation to Asian Studies today.
125,660 Specimens of Natural History
curated by Anna-Sophie Springer & Etienne Turpin
in collaboration with Komunitas Salihara
presented at Collecting Geographies:
Global Programming & Museums of Modern Art
Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam
13–15 March 2014
Bird of Paradise Found, Tring Public Collection, UK.
In the era of the Anthropocene, the assumed division between nature and culture is radically destabilized. By taking a nineteenth century colonial collection of natural history as a point of departure, the international touring exhibition 125,660 Specimens of Natural History (to premier at Komunitas Salihara, Jakarta, in August 2015) develops transcultural artistic and curatorial methodologies as means to rethink traditional views on collecting, geographies, and museological genres in light of contemporary political and environmental issues. In our presentation to the Collecting Geographies conference at the Stedelijk Museum, we will discuss the conceptual framework of the project, including our research on other scientists working in the archipelago such as Franz Wilhelm Junghuhn and Ernst Haeckel, in order to provoke further reflection on how a colonial archive can be reassessed through intercultural collaboration to produce relevant, contemporary work about both the history of Euro-Asian colonial relations and their legacies in the present.
From 1854 to 1862, Alfred Russel Wallace travelled through the Malay archipelago, ardently documenting the region's geography and biodiversity while amassing a gigantic collection of specimens for museums in England. By combining archival research at the Natural History Museums of London, Tring, Oxford, Berlin, and Leiden with research and artistic fieldwork in contemporary Southeast Asia, 125,660 Specimensof Natural History retraces key episodes of the expedition (as published in 1869 edition of The Malay Archipelago) to directly confront the radically transformed, postnatural landscape that has replaced the idyllic purity of Wallace's colonial impressions. Importantly, we approach Wallace's collection not with a retrospective view, but instead propose to critically reconsider his colonial archive from a contemporary perspective that opens up challenging multidisciplinary dialogues between Europe and Asia. Essentially, the project exposes a historic, colonial archive to contemporary local knowledge and unorthodox readings and critique by both European and Southeast Asian artists and curators. While large parts of the Wallace collection are stored in traditional European Natural History Museums, 125,660 Specimens inverts the geographic itinerary and returns to the original sites of collecting with the aim of examining this cultural repository from a contemporary perspective that engages alternative epistemologies and urgent questions about ecological collapse in the Anthropocene.
What Do Cities Tell Us About Their Inhabitants' Desire?
an interview with Etienne Turpin by the architecture journal TOURETTE | encounters
Nature Revealing Her Plasticity in Photoshop (After Barrias)
From the interview:
T _ Which is the most erotic component of an urban environment?
ET _ A urban environment is a wonderland of erotic potential, isn't it? And not just for people who enjoy public sex and salacious encounters! Living in Jakarta, I enjoy the interminable erotic play of bodies. Bodies touch, bodies slide past each other, and bodies, whether on foot or motorized, are in a constant play negotiating common space. It is amazing to see how reserved and territorial people are in Europe and America, where they have so much more space! In Asia, but in Jakarta especially, the dense commonness of space means that bodies are not repelled from each other so quickly. They can't move out of the way. They can't be indignant about being in common. They have to touch. They have to interact. They have to laugh together, and get wet together in the monsoon, and eat and rest together in much closer quarters. It makes me wonder about the extreme feelings of isolation that people suffer from in Europe. Even if one is "alone in the crowd" in Jakarta, the real, physical presence of other bodies, of bodies in a common condition, radically changes one's experience of the space. Architects have been so afraid of these realities, treating them procedurally and programmatically. As Francois Roche says in our recent interview, architects have impoverished their image of desire and contagion, but, inevitably, bodies desire. This has to be the most erotic component of the urban environment, the density, the contact, the friction created by desiring bodies sharing a necessarily common space.

TOURETTE | encounters looks at architecture as a loose and ever-changing discipline, dealing with everything spatial directly and by way of digital culture, shifting institutional ground, political and sociological issues, representational modes, drones and gorillas. Tourette recognizes the power of architectural discourse in the shaping of the discipline and the profession, and wishes to provide an open platform for the proliferating of ideas, debate and disagreement on issues related to the project of architecture in contemporary culture.
Ciliwung Perspectives on Biodiversity, Infrastructure, and Resilience
A Workshop with PetaJakarta.org, Open Street Map, Ciliwung Merdeka, and Universitas Indonesia
Urbanization of Jakarta: 1976 (6 million), 1989 (9 million), and 2004 (13 million). In 2014, the population of metropolitan Jakarta was estimated at 28 million.

Mapping practices have become an integral part of architecture and design, geography and urban studies, and social scientific research. In order to study the transformation of urban systems, researchers can no longer rely on inherited, proprietary maps; the next generation of urban scholars are learning to map the city with new tools and, together with residents, develop public, open source, and open access resources for civic co-management and participatory democracy. Essential for this work is developing a better understanding of the interaction between natural systems, such as watersheds and water catchment areas, and the urban systems which transform them. In Jakarta, the watershed of the Ciliwung River is a critical ecology that requires more comprehensive study and analysis; during the Ciliwung Perspectives workshop, we will examine the role of the Ciliwung as a site of biodiversity and conservation efforts, an area for urban renewal and stewardship, and a critical aspect of the disaster planning and mitigation projects related to flooding and flood response.

Just curious. Been playing around with a few different runes for Shaco and need to know if crit damage affects it at all.
It does, but you'll get better results by using AD or armor pen runes.
Look if your good enough and have enough ip to buy a full crit damage rune page (you must be very seroius) You will get an extra 40-50% extra crit damage level 1, stacked with his q you will deal about 260-280% more damage with his Q equaling very strong ganks and so fort. The crit damage runes will also help a ton on Gp and tryda. These are some of the most expensive runes so you will have to be commited to these 3 champions, but you will be a very strong force to be reckoned with. Also if you want
Heres a shaco jungle guide =D
critical strikes 2x your damage so 270% point proven your a starter
I hate to say this but I remember that Shaco's deceive's crit is serve as bonus damage, in other words it is not a real crit, thus not count toward crit bonus damage
Someone can always test it and confirm it for me though,

The first game is in the books. I had a better than expected time last night at my first ever Billings Mustangs game.
If you are looking for a fun, affordable event for the family –consider a Mustangs game! Even if you are not a huge fan of baseball, I am pretty sure you will still enjoy yourself at a game
I'm ashamed to admit this but, I went to Taco Bell sober. And it's true what they say about the difference between Taco Bell late at night when you're tuned up and sober Taco Bell. We are talking a night and day difference, which it turns out is the same tragic reality of Taco Bell's marketing of their products versus what they actually deliver.
As I sit here and play the latest game craze Candy Crush Saga; I wonder how many hours of my life (that I will never get back) have I spent on this silly game? And secondly who thought of this game and why didn't I? It's a gold mine!
Congratulations to our winner Jessica Doke!

Bought this on a whim and found that I like them a lot more than I anticipated. Basically I've never been disappointed with MBT's except the ones I bought in Europe which were just too narrow and it was my fault because I shouldn't have bought them. But I was desperate.

Nearly 30,000 students from some 400 Nebraska schools get a firsthand tour of the seat of state government every year.
Photographer Demetria Stephens followed 41 fourth graders from Ravenna Elementary School Tuesday on their visit. The group got up about 6 a.m. to drive to Lincoln to spend about an hour and a half at the capitol building, the iconic Tower on the Plains.
Students looked at murals, laid on their backs to gaze up at the rotunda, visited the Warner Legislative Chamber and sat in spectator booths at the Nebraska Supreme Court chamber.
Jamison Wyatt, the tour guide, said he starts with a skeleton schedule of the tour and adds specific historical dates and people.
Its right up the alley for the fourth graders because theyre learning Nebraska history, Wyatt said. Theyre learning things they should be learning already.
Students could not go to the top of the tower because the elevator is under renovation. Bob Ripley of the Office of the Capitol Commission said elevator renovation began in early 2012 and will be finished in 2014. Six people can ride the elevator at a time and two elevators go to the top.

Gilfix & LaPoll Recommends Examining 401(k) Fees
Palo Alto, CA (Law Firm Newswire) December 30, 2013 – Most workers who participate in 401(k) plans are trying to save enough for a comfortable retirement and perhaps an inheritance for their children and grandchildren.
A prominent estate planning attorney says that while 401(k)s are a good way to add to one's retirement savings, it is important to take a look at the fees a plan charges, as these fees can erode one's savings.
"Employers are now required to provide workers with more information about the fees connected with administering 401(k)s and the different investment options they provide," said Michael Gilfix, a Palo Alto estate planning attorney.
In 2012, the Labor Department began requiring employers to provide additional information about fees. The administration expenses of a 401(k) plan can be significant. One estimate found that fees on some plans can erode up to 30 percent of a person's retirement savings. Industry experts expected workers to pressure their employers to switch to plan administrators that charge lower fees, but the number of these requests has not matched predictions. The nonprofit Employee Benefit Research Institute found that only 53 percent of participants in 401(k) plans noticed the new disclosures, and most of those did not do anything about it. That may be a mistake, says Gilfix.
"One easy action you can take is to switch out of the types of investment options that carry higher fees," said Gilfix. "It's important to pay attention to your 401(k) plan to make sure you are getting the best possible return on your investment, and that includes avoiding fees whenever you can."
It may be that many people do not take action because they do not have enough information to judge whether fees are too high. One solution is a service such as Brightscope, which rates 401(k) plans and includes a database of information about fees. CNN Money also has a free tool available that allows workers for large companies to compare 401(k) fees. Tools such as 401kfee.com allow one to calculate the impact of fees on one's retirement savings.
"The important thing is to take charge of your own retirement plan and estate plan," said Gilfix.

An easy way to automatically include and name modules in subdirectories.
#Easy Folderator
An easy way to automatically include and name modules in subdirectories.
npm install easy-folderator
Easy Folderator makes use of promises.
Lets say we have the following directory structure:
folder/ inner-folder/ deeper-inner-folder/ deeper-inner-test-module.js inner-test-module.js test-module.js
The folderator.createPackage function will return an object with the following structure:
var package = innerFolder: deeperInnerFolder deeperInnerTestModule: /* module.exports of deeper-inner-test-module.js */ innerTestModule: /* module.exports of inner-test-module.js */ testModule: /* module.exports of test-module.js */
This example uses the same folder structure as above under Usage. lets say we have a folder called models with the following structure:
models/ user.js post.js
Let's also say that the exports object of each model is simply this:
moduleexports = __filename;
Now lets look at what will happen:
var path = require'path';var folderator = require'easy-folderator'; var packagePath = pathjoin__dirname 'models'; folderator createPackage rootDir: packagePath // a required option captializeModules: true then console.logpackUser; // logs: // /path/to/file/models/user.js ;
Options are passed to the createPackage function via an object:
folderator createPackage rootDir: myPath
Only rootDir is required. There are no default options so you must always pass an object with rootDir set to a string in order for the it to work.
- rootDir required
- rootDir is a required option that tells which folder to package up.
- captializeModules
- captializeModules is not required. When a js file is required it will capitalize it when it attaches it to the packed object if this is set to true.
