Fort Mason deserves better than it is getting with major arts tenants pulling out so we asked 22 arts leaders to re-invent the place. They went beyond the artistic. @futureformslab sfchronicle.com/culture/arti…

I was going to write an entire chapter for *Palaces for the People* about why generous urban sidewalks are such vital social infrastructure, fostering ties among neighbors and helping bridge our divided streets. Instead, I’m just going to link to this. teapawt.net/sikhprof/status/117122…

Move Over, San Andreas: There’s an Ominous New Fault in Town

An emerging fault system along the Nevada border is shaking up the tech industry’s latest frontier—and only a small group of scientists is paying attention.

“The basic underpass transformation strategy involves using light as art and art as light, with light serving as the primary visual medium of contemporary, sculpted artworks within the L Street and M Street underpasses.” ⁦@NoMaParksDC⁩ washingtonpost.com/realestat…

Some of D.C.’s most dismal underpasses are illuminated with a vision that sees light as art and art as light.

The new #LStreetLightweave installation senses pedestrian traffic, overhead train vibrations, and passing cars. These #smartlights are not just street lighting, but an interactive art park for the community to experience! @NoMaBID

“Murmur Wall” by @futurecitieslab is a 60-ft long, artificially intelligent, anticipatory architecture that reveals what the city is whispering, thinking, & feeling. By harvesting local online activity it anticipates what will soon matter most to the city. ow.ly/kKL830kt2wn

On transit: “we’ll continue the push to bring BART all the way through Downtown, to join with an electrified Caltrain, High Speed Rail, and five other transit systems to create the Grand Central Station of the Bay Area. That is--the SAN JOSE Bay Area!” #SJStateOfTheCity
