Looks interesting!

Looks interesting!

Rob visited Carelton a few years ago with the first version of this paper (my notes here) so they’ve actually been thinking this through for quite a while. If you liked that paper, you may also enjoy Codes of life: identification codes and the machine-readable world.

And if you’re interested in the work of geographers, Stephen Graham is considered one of the foremost researchers on technology and urban spaces.

Thanks for sharing!

I found it very appropriate in pointing to the ways space, as a category, is more and more technologically informed and how this leads to change some of traditional mode of conceptualization we have long taken for granted. I am interested in the question of space from a very different vantage point (marketing and consumption) but I reckon similar questioning, especially as "code" penetrate this fields too and because, we now acknowledge, consumption, as a central activity in daily life, is also a practice that ethnometodology can portray in its richness. The risk is that one feels compelled to dive into philosophical questioning about space (and therefore time) that may sounds rather irrelevant to many in one's field ! In line with the notion of autogenesis of space you referred to, I wanted to mention Pierre Sansot (far from code !) and his idea of a "poetic" of the city (space) : the poiesis being "the action of the doing" in ancient greek, that is that through which space happens (see Augustin Berque, Ecoumène, Introduction à l'étude des milieux humains. Belin. p70) Thanks for a thorough post on code/space.
