Technopolitics
Technopolitics is a perspective on the interaction between humans and various forms of power that foregrounds the role of technical objects, systems, and logics in mediating this relation. As technology is advanced through innovation in science and industry, it is comprehended through discourse and then reintegrated into culture. As that happens, technology creates and contributes to political subjectivities. As a concept with utility in the huma…
Oaths and the ethics of automated data: Limits to porting the Hippocratic oath from medicine to data science
This paper argues that the proposal for a ‘Hippocratic oath for data science’ is a severely limited form of data ethics for automated culture. Drawing on the oath used within medical professionalism, proponents as diverse as Wired and the European Data Protection Supervisor have argued for a Hippocratic oath for data science as a way of introducing a soft regulatory environment. In this paper, we analyse the history of the Hippocratic oath and th…

The Politics and Possibilities of Self-Tracking Technology: Data, Bodies and Design
The Politics and Possibilities of Self-Tracking Technology focuses on the dialectical relationship between users and designers of wearable technology to examine how datafication processes redefine the body, and explores what this means for the design, administration and study of self-tracking systems.
Darkness, Datafication, and Provenance as an Illuminating Methodology
Data are generated and employed for many ends, including governing societies, managing organisations, leveraging profit, and regulating places. In all these cases, data are key inputs into systems that paradoxically are implemented in the name of making societies more secure, safe, competitive, productive, efficient, transparent and accountable, yet do so through processes that monitor, discipline, repress, coerce, and exploit people. (Kitchin, 1…
Critical data provenance as a methodology for studying how language conceals data ethics
This paper contributes to a project that maps the concept of ‘data provenance’ into qualitative data research. Data provenance is a concept from computer science that allows us to trace the history of sets of data to determine the accuracy and validity of a database. We transform this into a critical concept by arguing that data provenance can be used to trace the acts of governance and rhetoric. We then analyse the forms of discursive power that…
Openness in Practice: Stakeholder Attitudes to Open Government Data
Ideology, obsolescence and preservation in digital mapping and locative art
The city has long been evoked as an environment for critiquing traditional paradigms of place, space and urban dwelling. This article engages with two related forms of urban mediation that arose during the late twentieth century in response to the proliferation of networked, mobile and location-aware technologies: locative media art and digital mapping. These practices emerged by taking advantage of the widespread availability and dissemination o…
