"Finally, the third looks at artistic endeavours to re-enchant and contest the urban informational landscape of urban sentience." says Professor Stephen Graham.
Enchant - what a great word.*
To cast a spell over; bewitch.
To attract and delight; entrance.
We could use poems, or monsters, or sprites and witches.
Or anything you want.
"Be not afeard.
The isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked,
I cried to dream again."
Caliban, The Tempest, William Shakespeare, Act III Scene 2, Lines 138-146
* and let's even let the Professor off with that "re-" [academics love their "re-" "I will now re-heat this pizza, and we will critically contest the extra slice."]
