Counter-forensics and the geographies of images
Counter-forensics emerged in order to deploy scientific investigative techniques usually wielded by the state against the state. In this article, we theorize how a counter-forensic approach can inform geographical approaches to the study of images. Our counter-forensic approach centers the material and semantic instability of images and highlights the indeterminacy of meaning and thus, the importance of the discursive activity of articulating the…
Infrastructure and the ethnographic-cartographic production of urban bird species richness
The qualitative bio-geographies of human geographers and the quantitative mappings of biogeographers share a goal: how to understand living with non-human life. Yet they rarely bridge the conceptual and methodological gap between them. This article theorizes how the concept of infrastructure can bridge this ethnographic-cartographic divide. Infrastructure is not just inert shell. It is also a system of relation, a dynamic patterning of socionatur…
On Art and Experimentation as Geographical Practice
Through a series of three vignettes, each of us critically reflects on how the visual arts have come to inform our geographical questions and approaches, illustrating the possibilities for art and experimentation as geographical practice. We outline common threads that run through our individual work, including our approaches to process and experimentation; our orientations towards the use, making, and reimagining of tools; and how we make spaces…
Policing sounds
Sound is always present in exercises of police power, whether produced through sonic weaponry, routinized interventions into social life, or contributions to everyday soundscapes. The use of sound is productive of how police produce, govern, and intervene in space. Scholars in geography and adjacent fields have grappled with sound in ways that engage with or have the potential to inform the study of police within the discipline. Attention to soun…
Sculpting, Cutting, Expanding, and Contracting the Map
shaping est un outil Web qui permet de manipuler directement l’espace cartographique afin de sculpter, de retrancher, d’étendre et de contracter les régions d’une carte. En rupture avec la compréhension euclidienne rigide de l’espace projeté qui caractérise les systèmes d’information géographique (SIG), ces opérations permettent un travail de cartographie créative dans lequel l’espace est fluide, dynamique, relationnel et situé. Chaque opération …
Mapping police power and the limits of reform
Computational parasites and hydropower
Over the past three years, the dams of Chelan County, Washington, its watershed and fish, the electrical grid and the laborers who maintain it, and cleared land with warehouses filled with computers, have all been enrolled as part of the decentralized digital infrastructure of Bitcoin. While popular accounts of the Bitcoin network correctly report the massive scale of energy it consumes and its potential environmental ramifications, in practice, …
It makes almost no difference which algorithm you use”
Predictive policing is built on a simple assumption: crime exhibits predictable patterns, which means future crime risk can be forecast using historic crime data. While critics have raised concerns over the use of biased data in these systems, less is known about how software is actually used within infrastructures of governance. Drawing on interviews with software developers and an analysis of technical, promotional, and academic materials, I sh…
For geographical imagination systems
For many, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and related libraries for programming languages define the terrain of geographical computing today. But what if GIS were locales within wider realms of geographical imagination systems (gis), realms more adequate to diverse theoretical commitments of geographical thought? Examining how various thinkers in spatial theory have conceived of phenomena, space, knowledge, and their entanglements, this arti…
Improving spatial decision making using interactive maps
Spatial decisions increasingly are made by both professional and citizen stakeholders using interactive maps, yet few empirically-derived guidelines exist for designing interactive maps that support complex reasoning and decision making across problem contexts. We address this gap through an online map study with 122 participants with varying expertise. The study required participants to assume two hypothetical scenarios in the North American haz…
Crowdsourced surveillance and networked data
Possibilities for crowdsourced surveillance have expanded in recent years as data uploaded to social networks can be mined, distributed, assembled, mapped, and analyzed by anyone with an uncensored internet connection. These data points are necessarily fragmented and partial, open to interpretation, and rely on algorithms for retrieval and sorting. Yet despite these limitations, they have been used to produce complex representations of space, sub…
Revisiting critical GIS
The article looks into the critical geographic information science (GIS) in approaching questions both emerging and enduring around the intersection of the spatial and the digital. It offers trading zones for discussion of issues, for building alliances and interrogating tensions, and for a constant dialectical process of critique and renewal. One tension running through critical GIS is the contradictory role it has played in addressing questions…
