Big Glass Microphone is a data visualization of a 5km long fiber optic cable buried underneath Stanford University
Big Glass Microphone, a work they've commissioned from San Francisco-based data visualisation firm Stamen. It analyses the microvibrations within the "incidental infrastructure" of an existing fibre optic cable under the streets of Stanford in California. Using this information, a real-time map of the movements of people and vehicles within the city was created.
"We should be at once excited and concerned about this," said Hyde. "It's about who has control of these systems. What Snowden showed is that tech companies were feeding users' information to governments without users' knowledge.
"What stamen are pointing out is that the next frontier over who owns this data will be played out in cities, and it will be played out in the physical world as much as in the digital one.

Civic Objects
Design and Public Life Display: Dispersed around the museum, pick up a guide at the information desk or download the Civic Objects Locations guide
1 April – 19 July, 2015
This series of interventions brings objects of the contemporary public realm to the galleries and highlights historic designs that make up the permanent displays, addressing matters of public life, privacy, security, power and politics.
From an early street light, to a security bollard designed for the 2012 London Olympics, to a video game used by the United Nations, these objects illustrate the close relationship between design and public life.

For them, design is a tool to imagine the futures that
current technology might be leading us toward.

these speculative drones question the possible
impact of UAVs on the city and the public realm.

David Lynch's Public Service Announcement
The Carte figurative des pertes successives en hommes de l’Armée Française dans la campagne de Russie 1812–1813depicts the destruction of Napoleon’s army during its assault on Russia. Minard’s map is in every way an exemplar of what Tufte calls “graphical elegance.”4 It brings together several key data fields—time, location, force strength, and, crucially, temperature—making visible in a single stroke the power of the winter that crushed Napoleon’s Grande Armée.
