This is an introduction to the ISEA2012 Machine Wilderness subconference themes for our youth art workshop, Augmented Reality in Open Spaces. I provided examples of art and artists as references.

1. Econotopias
Trans-Species
MACHINE WILDERNESS Habitats
Radical
Cosmologies

2. ECONOTOPIAS
"Econotopias," to explore open-source, open
standards ideologies, maker culture and the
culture industry, and the global marketplace.

4. TRANS-SPECIES HABITATS
"Trans-Species Habitats" to encourage the
integration of human, animal and plant
species in the urban fabric.

7. RADICAL COSMOLOGIES
”Radical Cosmologies" to gaze at the universe
and question our place in it; to interweave a
wide range of perspectives and practices
around cultural, scientific & philosophical
possibilities.
