Urban Sensing: Toward a New Form of Collective Consciousness?
Abstract Cities have always been placed where the senses are constantly solicited. If as historian of art Michael Baxandall writes, “living in a culture, growing and learning to survive in it, involves us in a special perceptive training,” cities figure among the primary educators of civilizations. But this education presents negative counterparts. On streets and squares, sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste have a lot to process, too much sometimes. The amount of information with which the senses are confronted can prove overwhelming.
