Project: Reengineering Nature in 硅谷

Principal Investigator(s): J.A. English-Lueck (菠菜网lol正规平台)

客户/合作伙伴: 硅谷 Cultures Project

简介: This project is primarily an academic research project, although it has implications for the forecasters at the Institute for the 未来 and the Food 创新 program.  Building on more than 25 years of ethnographic inquiry into the cultures of Silicon Valley, the project looks at the lives of workers who participate in the countercultural and artistic life of 硅谷, and the research, design and implementation of food, ag, and clean tech endeavors.  Internet of Things and Virtual Reality technologies combine sensors and versions of lived experience.  These researchers are interviewing artists and engineers, community advocates and designers to better understand how they merge their distinct visions of the future with the work they do. 什么值 are these workers bringing to their work? Geography faculty Kerry Rohrmeier is collaborating with English-Lueck to explore the relationship of 硅谷 to Burning Man.  English-Lueck is also teaming up with interested alumni, undergraduate and graduate researchers, and Mass Communications faculty Tina Korani to document these stories.  这个项目 will result in an academic production such as a book and article, and a co-authored innovative virtual reality installation and proceeding article for the Southwestern Anthropological Association meeting and other venues.
