A panel discussion organized in conjunction with the Situated Technologies Pamphlets Series, the League's ongoing publication series exploring the implications of ubiquitous computing for architecture and urbanism. The panel will explore the growing agency of natural and artificial "things," considering themes such as ambient intelligence, underspecification, responsiveness, and emergent ecologies.
