A b ou t th is b log
Cycle studies are the science of
everyday life, as normal as it gets. Its
focus is the daily routine, with its
habits and rhythms as they occure in
most citizens' lifes. It is the power of
the normal that brings stability and
the routine that ensures security. But
is is the cycles's dynamic of flow and
continuation that prevents life from
freezing.
Cycles therefore stand for stability
but are at the same time the engine
of change.
With this blog the research on cycles
and rhythms will be embedded in the
most recent developments in
technology, covering a range of areas
with a focus on space­time related
technologies.
The research is undertaken at CASA
Centre for Advanced Spatial
Analysis, UCL.

Some of the Twitter work is on display too. The analogue Tweet­O­Meter, last on show at the British
Library will be installed and a a 3D physical model of the London New City Landscape map will be
on display. This model was layered from the contour lines and includes the labels and tag. With it
some of the aNCL network clips will be on display, showing the connective aspects of the data. In
these clips other cities than London will also be on show to extend on the perspective. interaction(7) internet of things(2) interview(7)
