The technological city

Our world is becoming increasingly shaped by technology. It it all around us: in our digital lives and in the physical spaces we move through every day. Sometimes it’s easy to spot – think of traffic lights, street lamps, metro gates, or security cameras – but often it fades into the background. So much of it has become part of everyday life that we hardly notice it anymore. The technological city is still all around us. 

Join our walk The technological city on July 2 during Waag Open. Using a route map, you’ll walk through different places in the neighborhood and explore how technology has become part of everyday life in the city. What data do you leave behind as you move through the city? Who is watching? Which systems quietly shape what happens in public space? And is a city full of technology equally accessible to everyone? 

The walk invites you to look at your surroundings in a new way and reflect on the role of technology in the city. Together we explore the question: what kind of technological world do we want to live in? — Come walk us!
