- i’m not sure I trust these guys to create a scheme i want to live and work in. And its these guys and people like them who are designing the technology systems being used in our cities. On average, in 2014 only about 5% of technology workers in Silicon Valley companies were black or hispanic. There are many things wrong with this - but a point I heard Joi Ito make in Japan back in October was one of unconscious bias.

At the moment we are running a lab with partners in Lagos, Nigeria, the fastest growing city in the world.
- Why did we want to work with danfo: Part of a multi-layered transport system (4 or 5 layers?) Part of traffic, which is deeply embedded in the city culture Lots and lots of people in a similar situation at any given single time
- Our tests First test: Sitting in Danfo with the somewhat unfinished piece, guiding people to use it Second test: Hanging it in a Danfo Discussions with people at the bus stop, in the park
- simple joy. the container as a physical space is really important adding precious and focus to the objects. Objects in cases, music on CDs - inaccessible.
