A recent outbreak of a "plague" in a popular online game has scientists considering how the virtual world may provide clues to what people would do in real-world pandemics. In the role-playing game World of Warcraft, a "corrupted blood" spell killed characters and affected players in unexpected ways.

Donna Haraway’s Staying with the Trouble published as part of the “Experimental Futures” series by Duke Press. There are interesting books (from the brief number of full descriptions I read). I got Donna’s and Beautiful Data (pdfs).

@sylin this is a workshop??
Can’t quite tell what exactly they get up to
It was a course and event, I believe. Really great content
K2 winter school. It's a weeklong event set to confront the boundary of design by having design futurists, design educators facilitate a workshop together with students, citizens, young designers ... and look at contemporary real social issues as their design challenges.
I think the workshop itself is interesting because it's not only teaching design thinking but also asking why design thinking didn't work in some fields/topics.
The talks they have in between were trying to explore the possible discipline change, paradigm shit in near future.

> We’re generally working on a timeline of 5–15 years from now, and always at multiple scales because without finding possibilities that are mutually beneficial to individuals and the larger publics they participate in, there’s no “civic” to speak of.

5-15 years :)) I love how they call out their time scale. Near future. ++

At Transportation Camp over the weekend, I led an impromptu discussion session on the challenges we face and lessons we could learn from the looming L train shutdown. (You haven’t forgotten about the L train shutdown in my absence, right?) A room full of biased transportation policy wonks came to the general conclusion that the …
@darshana interesting read just to see how the city is not facilitating these conversations correctly…again a divide between the groups

article that @sylin sent. I could have done without the introduction but their case studies are useful!
very useful for thinking about experimental design for civic problems
@sylin Do you have any detailed manuals for the vTaiwan and PO network projects? (right from how they were designed, all the way to outcomes)
if not, that will be super useful to put together
it will be useful for others to replicate your process and as core material which can be pieced away and used in many combinations
