I was able to remain close to something more natural.

A new media space?? Is Berlin infected with Clear Channel boxes too? I am sure they will soon spread cancerlike with this new media space.

The crowds in a mall create the illusion that you are in a public space. But try preaching or protesting in a mall and you’ll quickly be reminded that you’re in a privately owned, commercial environment that only resembles a public space or commons in the most superficial ways.

Citizenship in the 21st century is not just made up of pixels and bits: Our new civic infrastructure weaves the physical and the electronic into a single tapestry. The fight to maintain public spaces that empower us remains a vital part of our struggle to protect the shape of our networked culture. Keep up the fight Berlin.
