Synchronity
Maybe I missed something in the post I made about Rushkoff's "
Money is Media" piece
I posted about earlier today, but Rushkoff this evening
posts an entry about a Salon article on
new methods for understanding transportation and traffic:
Salon recently ran an article on the relatively new school of thought about traffic management called second generation traffic calming. It involves improving traffic flow by incorporating, under certain circumstances, automobile traffic back into the flow of other human activities
And here's a piece from
the Salon piece:
Rejecting the idea of separating people from vehicular traffic, it's a concept that privileges multiplicity over homogeneity, disorder over order, and intrigue over certainty. In practice, it's about dismantling barriers: between the road and the sidewalk, between cars, pedestrians and cyclists and, most controversially, between moving vehicles and children at play
Traffic is a medium, a rhetorical and communicative environment. Coolness.
