Marineterrein Art Lab and NEMO Studio will host a workshop asking an interdisciplinary team about the effects, impacts and possibilities of AI in public space workshop. The AI INCUBATOR installation acts as a 'Conversation Piece' that stimulates, imagines and gives direction to the discussion.

Between the “Digital City Agenda” and the “Sensor Register” we begin to witness a blurry intersection between digital rights of the online and offline world we inhabit. Tom & director or Arcam Indira van ’t Klooster will speak to four national political parties participating in the Amsterdam municipal elections:

Join us on a virtual walk through LivingLab projects at the Marineterrein and discover the power of analytics for campus development. Tom van Arman and Tom Griffioen will touch upon open (research) questions of our future Digital Society and illustrate opportunities how connected data can deliver new insights, while respecting privacy.

Covid19 has profoundly transformed cities faster than any expert or planning authority could have anticipated. Tom showcases real projects to tackle this spatial pandemic.

“I understand the terms and conditions to enter this website” What about data collection and privacy in public parks and squares? Tada interview

Using Computer Vision (AI, object detection & machine learning) we have been able to safely capture, store, process and share real-time insights with the public to make informed decisions. During this talk, Tom will be showing fellow civic-innovators how to use this open-source technologies to communicate 'spatial health’ of urban parks, squares, terraces, waterfronts and other social spaces.

Cameras in public space, you see them more and more. They are used to measure traffic movements or to map out crowds, including at Marineterrein Amsterdam. But how do we prevent a 'Big Brother-like scenario' in the future and guarantee privacy? Architect and Future city maker Tom van Arman deals with this question on a daily basis at the Marineterrein.

For this special meetup I’ll be talking about digital twins of cities and what trends and technologies are leading the way.

Curious about the experiments that are being done at Marineterrein Amsterdam? During Marineterrein LIVE, I’ll be showing some of my mad experiments and talking with the community about some of their own urban projects.

Tom will be speaking at VRdays pn the topic of Lidar and Point Cloud Scanning in our cities. Until today laser scanning is primarily used as a cutting edge technology for the construction and engineering industry. How can the rest of us use the same technology as a design tool to create new opportunities in the creative industry? In this talk we’ll demonstrate how Point Cloud data is transforming business cases in smart city design, VR experience and projection mapping

Data is one of the main drivers of innovation in the mobility space. Tom will talk about how Machine Learning should be used as Design Tool to create more meaningful and purposeful public spaces.

Tom will speak to the students from the Loyola Marymount University, from California about the business mechanics and sustainability Smart City Development - from the dutch perspective! The talk is entitled “Smart Cities: Social Sustainability Labs” 

That the concept of a ‘smart city’ is gaining popularity, can be traced back to the increasing amount of cities that is experimenting with this concept. Tom van Arman, founder and director at Tapp, will give us some insight in his practical experience with creating and experimenting with smart cities all over the world.

Digital technologies are flooding our markets and streets promising smarter cities, but for who? Tom van Arman will be showcasing some projects that have transformed squares, streets and sidewalks into living laboratories to test new technologies for and by the people of Amsterdam. By the end of the presentation, community leaders, knowledge partners & business developers will have insights on the Dutch approach to public experiments that can inform local policy. 

Technology is flooding the market and now spilling over into our “public commons” and shared civic spaces. But how do all these smart city technologies improve our daily lives or actually solve urgent urban problems? Whether they be smart camera’s, smart meters or city data, how do all these solutions ultimately create a Smart City? Tom van Arman will be talking about the “Ugly Truths”, the “Bad Agents” and “Good Players” of today’s smart cities.
