“They are after-images, burnt into screens and retinas long after their source has been erased. They perform a psychoanalysis without either psyche or analysis for an age of automation in which production is augmented by wholesale fabrication. Mean images are social dreams without sleep, processing society’s irrational functions to their logical conclusions. They are documentary expressions of society’s views of itself, seized through the chaotic capture and large-scale kidnapping of data. And they rely on vast infrastructures of polluting hardware and menial and disenfranchised labour, exploiting political conflict as a resource.”

Next week back at Sciences Po, Paris with @lbngr for a talk on "repurposing digital media for collective inquiry", reflecting on 6 years of projects and activities with the @publicdatalab: https://jonathangray.org/2023/03/24/medialab-talk

It will be first time back since Bruno Latour died last year, which is still sinking in (gathering pieces here: https://www.are.na/jonathan-gray/remembering-bruno ... )

A new book on “Digital (In)Justice in the Smart City” includes chapters from researchers from our department.

Güneş Tavmen wrote a chapter on “Cybernetic Urbanism: Tracing the Development of the Responsibilized Subject and Self-Organizing Communities in Smart Cities”.

Jonathan Gray (@jwyg) co-wrote a piece with Noortje Marres (@NoortjeMarres) on “Articulating Urban Collectives with Data”.

In hindsight, I have come to the conclusion that my paper at #STShubDe on the need to bring more #qualitative_analysis and #praxeology into the debate on #data and #capitalism and more #Marx and #Adorno into #DataStudies was not a total failure.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today and every day, OpenArchive stands in solidarity with all women and gender-nonconforming human rights defenders. We’re celebrating women's history month by amplifying their stories. Let’s talk about María Salguero (1/n) #InternationalWomensDay #WomensHistoryMonth #DataStudies #Ethics

Do you research how data is repaired and cared for in everyday ways?

@Ch_Hogberg, @robkitchin and I would love for you to join us at Nordic STS in June. The deadline for abstract submissions is this Wednesday, March 1.

Much good stuff on data centres and infrastructure, time, labour, waste, heat, energy, bunkers, cables, environments and colonialism in this NM&S special issue on "data centers and the infrastructural temporalities of digital media":

Join us in thinking about #Careful #DataStudies.

We want to explore whether and how shifting from critique to care opens new pathways for more generative engagements with the transforming roles, relations, practices & politics of data-driven automation.

"..attending to these hidden intermediaries demystifies the way that a firm like Amazon builds power—not simply by bringing old relations “online,” but by shifting onto others the responsibility and risk of sustaining them" - Moira Weigel's recent report with @datasociety:

"If you understand Amazon as an aspiring megascale infrastructure company — a provider of systems, services, capacity, and labor — its junkification makes sense. Amazon hasn’t been acting like a store for a while. In its ideal future, selling things to people is everyone else’s problem. And so is Amazon."

Hi all!

We invite you to submit an abstract to our open panel "Caring and Repairing Data Lives", at The Nordic STS conference 2023, Oslo, June 7-9. I am organizing it together with @jmnw .

We invite a range of theoretical, empirical and stylistic approaches that explore how we can use concepts of care, repair, maintenance and infrastructure to surface these all-too-often submerged social processes and entanglements of data lives.

"The current plan to defend the #port entails shoring up infrastructure, hardening the port’s defenses against rising tides and extreme weather. I wondered, though, about the wisdom of this. Instead of doubling down on the system that brought us here, I thought, what if we stopped to ask whether the logistical #infrastructure we’ve built is the one we actually want?" YES.

Is there anyone out there who has attended the DataScience Week and can tell me their opinion about the event? Thank you!
