From September 23rd to 28th, as a parallel program of the International
Meeting on Culture and New Technologies
<http://www.sescsp.org.br/programacao/42109_ENCONTRO+INTERNACIONAL+CULTURAS+E+TECNOLOGIAS+DIGITAIS#/content=saiba-mais>,
the SESC Vila Mariana will hosts the Human Ecosystems project
<http://human-ecosystems.com/home/>, by the Italian artists Salvatore
Iaconesi and Oriana Persico (Art is Open Source
<http://artisopensource.net/>).

Human Ecosystems is a global project which captures the real-time public
conversations happening on major social networks in cities, to analyse
them, to create real-time interactive visualisations, and transform them
into a source of open data. “This is a crucial point”, states Iaconesi
currently in Yale as a World Fellow 2014
<http://worldfellows.yale.edu/salvatore-iaconesi> “Social networks are our
new Public Spaces: citizens are the only ones who do not have access to all
this information. In Human Ecosystems we transform this information into a
new digital commons, accessible by everyone”.

The event marks the launch of the project in Brazil, in partnership with
the Metodista University of Sao Paulo <http://portal.metodista.br/>, under
the leadership of Dr. Fabio Josgrilberg <http://fabio.jor.br/> and his
research group, according to which “It is an innovative and provocative
project. Working with Salvatore and Oriana will stimulate research, as well
as opportunities for collaboration with civil society”.

In Vila Mariana the Relational Ecosystem
<http://human-ecosystems.com/home/relations-in-the-human-ecosystems-cultures-communities-roles-and-emergence/>
of the City will become a work of art in the “Real Time Museum of the City
<http://human-ecosystems.com/home/the-real-time-museum-of-the-city-and-the-ubiquitous-commons/>
“.

Situated in the beautiful Atrium, visitors will be immersed in the
real-time city, exploring the emotions,desires and issues discussed by
citizens, understanding the flows of information and knowledge, and how
people constantly form networks, and human constellations.

“It directly engages people’s perception and imagination”, points out
Persico. When confronted with visualizations, people are surprised to
discover that they are close or distant from each other, how people and
organizations in the city are connected or distant, and more.  Immediately
new set of opportunities becomes possible: to identify communities with
similar, dissonant or complementary perspectives; people who are discussing
issues of common interest; establishing contacts and forming new
relationships. You can even start asking questions to the city: where do
people go to have fun? Where do they talk about football, ecology, or punk
music? Which roles do they assume in their communities? Possibilities for
research and to gain a better understanding of the city’s social dynamics
are endless”.

Together with the installation, a two day open workshop completes the
experience.

Participants will learn how to use the Human Ecosystems platform to extract
and visualize data, and use it to create new scenarios for the city of San
Paulo: for culture, business, knowledge, policy making, participation,
freedom.

According to Bruno Rondani <https://www.linkedin.com/in/brunorondani>,
chair and founder of Wenovate <http://wenovate.com.br/>, “the exhibit,
together with the workshop, will allow people to interact with data in a
human and artistic perspective. This possibility itself is a great source
of new other possibilities. We are very interested in the potential of the
Human Ecosystems project to become a source, and even a tool, for people to
develop projects and ideas related to the concept of innovative cities.”

Human Ecosystems is a global initiative. It has already started in Rome,
Toronto, Montreal, Detroit, Istanbul, Cairo, and it is being used as a tool
for planning, cultural policies, art, civic engagement. In 2013 Human
Ecosystems has been awarded the “Consequential Outcomes”
<https://efworld.org/alumni/consequential-outcomes> Grant of the
prestigious Eisenhower Fellowships <https://www.efworld.org/>.
