Human Ecosystems

You can learn more about the Human Ecosystems project on its website: https://www.he-r.it/

The Human Ecosystems project is a city based project whose objective is to capture the myriads of micro-histories of citizens and city dwellers as they emerge, to describe the Third Infoscape of the city and its Relational Ecosystem.

This is done by harvesting data and information through social networks, smartphones, Internet of Things, domotics, wearables and all of those ubiquitous technologies which permeate our environments.

The data is transformed into a digital commons for the city, and can be used by anyone.

Human Ecosystems on Sao Paulo: the real-time museum of the city

A Real Time Museum of the City is created, in which visitors can actively explore the data in the city and experience its Relational Ecosystem.

A wide, accessible, inclusive education process is started in the city ,and hosted in the museum, to teach everyone how to use all of this data: children, students, adults, elderly, artists, designers, researchers, teachers, entrepreneurs, policy makers, planners; to learn how to understand the city and its flows of communication, information and knowledge; to understand how to enact participatory decision making and policy shaping processes; to understand how to create engagement in citizens, and the ways in which it is possible to promote and support peer-to-peer organizational models, learning, mutualistic support; to create beautiful artworks and designs which use the micro-histories of the city and the topics, emotions and locations which they express; to perform research and collaborative action.

The project has been launched in various forms in cities like Rome, Lecce, Bari, Milan, Florence, Venice, Pisa, Reggio CalabriaBerlin, Budapest, London, Edinburgh, Toronto, New Haven, Sao Paulo.

Although it is mainly a city based project, it has been experimented in rural environments, such as here and here.
