Talk introducing a new Open Data project, looking at FutureEverything's work in digital innovation, and introducing a new word into english, only slightly tongue in cheek.

4. The Manchester Method
Why Manchester? What is unique about this city?

5. Braggadocio
Braggadocio is a character in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie
Queene, famous for his boastfulness and swagger.

6. Blaggadocio
Blaggadocio is a character on the streets of Manchester who
innovates (creates favourable conditions in the world around
them) through quick wit, chicanery and play.

7. I blag, you blag, he/she blags
Blag is one of the most distinctive words in the
english language (in England).
A blagger is a trickster, a thief, but the word is often
used in a positive way.

8. Blaggers and Hackers
A blagger is similar to a hacker.
Blaggadocio = a hacker with a mancunian attitude.

9. Hack the City - Blaggadocio
The city is made up of code that is reworked and rewritten.
Blaggers and hackers do not accept the world as they find it.
They edit, debug and back fix to create favourable conditions in
the world around them.

10. My Question
So Manchester, are you a blagger or just a bragger?

Bluetooth, cellular, GIS, etc
Seeking an art of mobile
communications:
Are there any forms of expression
that are intrinsic or unique to mobile
and wireless media?

28. •We are all being mapped,
•all of the time
•The devices we carry leave
traces of our movements

29. Loca: Set To Discoverable (2004-6)
Loca consists of a small network inside each node is a Bluetooth device, encased in concrete for use in the
of nodes... made of readily available components, urban environment.
The nodes are deployed in public spaces.

38. One billion eyes
"A populace so knowing and capable that
all problems get noticed and addressed,
quickly, by a billion eyes."
- David Brin

39. Biotagging
Discovering and creating a
folksonomy of the city's
urban wildlife. People
moved through a range of
microclimates observing
and identifying the plants,
animals and fungi they find
along the route. A 'Rover'
vehicle was used to film and
collect data. Participants
were able to think up their
own ways to classify and
record the wildlife they
discovered.
Christian Nold, Rebecca Ellis,
John Tweddle, Drew Hemment

40. Climate Bubbles
A playful, participatory
project in which bubble
blowing games enable
people across the city
of Manchester to test air
flow circulation, and by
sharing the results
online, enable the Met
Office to get a snapshot
the Urban Heat Island
phenomenon
Drew Hemment, Carlo
Buontempo, Alfie Dennen
