See Kietchi Matsuda ’ s cinematic visualizations of AR ’ s cinematic visualization of everyday habits/habitats, Augmented Kitchen and Augmented City: “ Augmented (hyper)Reality: Augmented City, ” http://www.keiichimatsuda.com/augmentedcity.php.\n\n54. Ingress, https://www.ingress.com/.\n\n55. Terrorism ’ s symbolic economy not only seeks out targets with some meaningful and representative value, but in doing so, it also imbues certain sites with symbolic currency through the act of design violence itself. Game scenarios like Ingress validate the insight that indeed “ everywhere is a target, and everywhere is symbolic. ” See also Sam Jacob ’ s essay in Domus, http:// www.domusweb.it/en/op-ed/everywhere-is-a-target-everywhere-is-symbolic/.\n\n56. The age of television, the Apollo program, and baby boomers brought us Scientology, Esalen, and televangelism. What bizarre new theological regimes will AR bring?\n\n57. See my “ On Geoscapes and Google Caliphate: Except #Mumbai, ” Theory, Culture and Society   \n26 (2009): 329 – 342.\n\n58. The other “ smart mob ” of nonstate actors in the Mumbai attacks were those trapped by the chaos and carnage in hotel rooms, closets, caf é s, and whatever other refuge they could find. The only lifeline available to many was their mobile handset, and in the crisis, they put these to use to coordinate their defense and flight. As events unfolded, I sat in my office in California watching the #Mumbai Twitter feed chronicling real-time first-person reports of what was happening: “ hospital update: shots still being fired, ” “ also Metro cinema next door, ” “ blood needed at JJ hospital. ” “ We ’ re in Ruggate Cafe, where should we go? ” Mainstream media outlets were left flat-footed, their anchors just repeating both fact and rumor from these feeds on air and in print. Interestingly the US military almost predicted this. The army issued a report the month before warning that “ al-Qaeda-like ” terrorists might use Twitter to coordinate an attack. Instead Twitter became a way to mobilize a response to terrorist violence (reconnaissance, situational awareness, logistics) by civilians. This telematic stigmergy was most definitely not included in use cases that Twitter concocted in advance of their launch, but is as instructive a political, urban, geographic “ accidental ” technology as Lashkar-e-Taiba ’ s appropriation of Google Earth, satellite phones, and GPS.\n\n59. In his short story “ Maneki Neko, ” Bruce Sterling describes the everyday world of a Japanese “ entity ” that might be described as the mixture of a cell-phone-based AR game, an omniscient artificial intelligence, a karmic futures market, and a disruptive new cult theology: navigation, software, religion. Bruce Sterling, “ Maneki Neko, ” Lightspeed Magazine, no. 11 (April 2011), http:// www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/maneki-neko/. The flabbergasted Japanese-American cop trying to break up the ring chastises her captive: “ We computer cops have names for you kinds of people. Digital panarchies. Segmented, polycephalous, integrated influence networks. What about all these free goods and services you’re getting all this time? ” No reply. “ Do you pay taxes? ” No reply. She barks: “ Well, your network gift economy is undermining the lawful, governmentapproved, regulated economy! ” “ I ’ m just living my life, ” he sheepishly replies just as whatever it is steers a superswarm of mayhem down on the cops, strangers instructed to mob their escape routes, automatic doors closing, phones and elevators inexplicably going dead. The whole digital world it seems is accessible to this unnamed sentient agency to decide and keep benevolent order, instructing strangers to deliver precise gifts to each other at just the right moment or foil dumbfounded IT security police.\n\n428\n\nNotes","previous_page":427,"next_page":429}
