Public Space for Ambient Itelligence

Brief
What new kinds of public space exist in a society sustained
by ambient intelligence (ubiquitous computing)?

Public spaces are places for communication between people
and things. What public spaces appear when new communications
have arisen in a society that has developed ubiquitous computing
technology (ambient intelligence)? We are calling for proposals for
these immanent new spaces. A "mobile" is not limited to the function
of making telephone calls, but has come to be used for communication
between person and person, between person and thing, between thing
and thing, and its appearance has undergone great changes. As a result,
it is a personal surrogate that enables a variety of services and
communications with things. Taking the “mobile" as a new communication
tool, its current form is perhaps incongruous.
