More Instrument than Data
We call for renewed attention to the “upstream” of data, to the means and challenges of their generation, that is, to the techniques and apparatuses of instrumentation. Our aim is to inspect how reference—what data are “of,” “for” or “about”—gets worked out via tinkering with instruments. More specifically, we call for (i) attending to moments in the development of instrumentation in which the observable has yet to be worked out, in which instrum…
Performance dans les Amériques
Autrefois omniprésente, la performance était valorisée dans toutes les sphères de la vie humaine. Cependant, la pandémie de Covid-19, le changement climatique et l'augmentation des burn-out ont remis en question ce modèle. Malgré cela, dans le domaine des arts, la notion de performance reste pertinente, distinguant les Arts mimétiques des Arts performatifs. Apparue en Europe à la fin du 19e siècle, la performance artistique a véritablement pris s…
Becoming a Guest
Mental health home treatment is a service where patients with severe mental illnesses are visited by a multiprofessional psychiatric care team at their homes. In Germany, inpatient-equivalent home treatment as a specialized form of home treatment has been offered by hospitals since 2018. In its early stage, the shift of care activities out of the hospital toward the patient’s home opened up a new set of problems and blurred the existing boundarie…

The Future of Digital Work: The Challenge of Inequality
Psychometric testing of the Skull Base Inventory health-related quality of life questionnaire in a multi-institutional study of patients undergoing open and endoscopic surgery
A measure of ‘environmental happiness’
We know little about the marine environment, particularly in the inhospitable Arctic region. Whereas national authorities often rely on the construction of a solid knowledge base to allow human activity access to new areas, scientists point to the impossibility of building comprehensive knowledge of subsea ecosystems. This paper presents an ethnographic study of a Norwegian oil and gas company’s development of a knowledge infrastructure for measu…

From Artefacts to Infrastructures
Seamless Integration
Standardization of Work
There is strong pressure to achieve greater uniformity, standardization and application of best practices in the service professions, a sector that is growing in presence and importance. At the same time, there is a conflicting demand for the delivery of high- quality ( or high- priced or " knowledge-intensive") specialized or localized services. Our article analyzes information systems- enabled standardizing of service work through an in-depth i…
A Patchwork Planet Integration and Cooperation in Hospitals
Balancing the Local and the Global in Infrastructural Information Systems
A considerable body of literature has demonstratedempirically as well as analytically-that information systems need to be situated to the local context of use. Yet for infrastructural information systems that span numerous contexts spread out globally, this is literally prohibitive. For these systems to work, it is necessary to strike a balance between sensitiveness to local contexts and a need to standardize across contexts. We analyze a key ele…

Scaling Information Infrastructure
An information infrastructure has to scale, hence change, as it expands. This creates a dilemma. The expansion fuels new patterns of use which require changes while, on the other hand, the diffusion of and investments in the information infrastructure has a strong, conservative influence --- the intertia of the installed base. The changes required to implement the scaling have to be small-step. An information infrastructure is not "changed", it u…
Social Shaping of Information Infrastructure
Developing Information Infrastructure
This article explores the tension between standardization and flexibility in information infrastructure (II). Just like other large technical systems, the geographically dispersed yet highly interconnected II becomes increasingly resistant to change. Still, II design must anticipate and prepare for changes, even substantial ones, if infrastructure is to survive. An II contains a huge number of components that alternate between standardization and…
