"A Walk on the Digital Sublime, a lesson in Protocol"

This “remix - multimedia” lecture surveys an urban design praxis, and tracks a bogus idea of community. The lecture frames a struggle of getting onto the street, and manning way-stations to navigate through a digital fog.

The praxis recursive urbanism uses the street as: 1) an evolving search engine, a tableau you drift through, synthesizing as you move, 2) a platform to assemble networks to critique the network, and 3) a probe into how digital kit edits-us.

Paul Guzzardo is a designer and lawyer based in St. Louis and Buenos Aires. He maps the devolving state of the American public sphere. He’s interested in epistemology and where urban designers, creative practitioners and collectors fit, and or don’t, in a zoomed out digitized culture. His research is out on the street. His design praxis includes: nightclubs, outdoor multimedia projections, street-front media-labs, street theater, remix concerts, gallery installations and documentary film. He exploits these venues and disciplines to design epistemic gear _ maps_ for navigating through this digital minefield. He is a Fellow at the Geddes Institute for Urban Research.
