Social City Talk is part of a series of four public talks looking at how to become a smart citizen in a smart city. Speakers for this talk include Graham Harwood (artist) and Nigel Tyrell (Love Clean Streets and Lewisham Borough Council),Dr Jennifer Gabrys (academic and researcher) and Olivia Solon (Associate Editor of Wired.co.uk).The Social City talk will look at the use of social media in the city space – how social media both mobilises and monitors an individuals actions. It will investigate data as capital (social, economic and cultural); the notion of the internet as a ‘walled garden’; and the use of data profiling by social media companies such as Facebook to predict and influence users behaviour outside of its construct.This talk is free, but tickets are limited.
