“SITE SEEING” with The River View Observer:The Art of Improvising

This week in “Site Seeing” we look at a site called  Kevin Kelly’s Street Use…Here is how he describes his site:

 This site features the ways in which people modify and re-create technology. Herein a collection of personal modifications, folk innovations, street customization, ad hoc alterations, wear-patterns, home-made versions and indigenous ingenuity. In short — stuff as it is actually used, and not how its creators planned on it being used. As William Gibson said, “The street finds its own uses for things.” I welcome suggestions of links, and contributions from others to include in this compendium. — KK
