Este video es un ejemplo de comportamiento emergente de las multitudes. Bobby McFerrin, musico de vasta trayectoria habilmente y literalmente "orquesta" a la multitud para cantar la escala pentatonica sin errores.
Aqui nuevamente, ninguno de los miembros del publico necesariamente es un musico (la conferencia donde todo esto ocurre es sobre neurociencia), sin embargo la multitud en su conjunto genera un comportamiento que sorprende incluso a sus mismos miembros de la multitud experimentando el comportamiento. Por favor veanlo, es soprendente.
This video is an example of the emergent behaviour of crowds. Bobby McFerrin, a musician of vast experience craftfully and literally, "orchestrates" the crowd into singing a pentatonic scale with no flaws.
Here again, although no single crowd member might be a musician (the conference was about neuroscience), the crowd as a whole achieves a behavior perfectly, and which suprises even the members of the crowd achieving the behaviour. Please watch it's staggering

Arquitectura que se auto-repara? TED Talk
La forma de construir actual se basa en gran medida en metodos victorianos que resultan en una transferencia unidireccional de energia desde la naturaleza hacia nuestros hogares y ciudades. Esto no puede ser sustentable.
El presente video, muestra una idea aun en su etapa conceptual, sobre formas distintas en que podria organizarse esta transferencia de energia que conectara a las ciudades con la naturaleza en vez de aislarla de ella. Rachel Armstrong, medico, se encuentra actualmente trabajando en tecnologias de materiales metabolicos, buscando las caraceristicas que puedan convertirlos en auto-reparables.
The present form of construction is largely based on victorian methods, that result in a uni-directional transfer of energy from nature into our cities and homes. This is not sustainable.
The video presented here is an idea, still in its conceptual phase (with some laboratory research under way), on ways this energy transfer could connect the cities to the enviroment, instead of isolating them from it. Rachel Armstrong, Medical Doctor, is at present working on technologies relating to metabolic materials, that would render them auto-repairable, for instance.

Enjambres roboticos
Como seguimiento al blog publicado por mi el pasado (ver aqui), se presenta este video sobre tecnologias roboticas que estan haciendo uso de modelos sobre sistemas adaptativos complejos para oraganizar un enjambre de minirobots en la resolucion de problemas.
As a follow-up of my previos posts on the subject (see here) I present this video on robotic technologies making use of Complex Adaptive systems Models to organize a swarm of mini-robots in the search for possible solutions to complex problems.
