  1. I'm at Mark Coté's presentation "Taking Technical Objects Seriously," at the U of Toronto, where he's sharing work with Jen Pybus on Software Development Kits. You can see some this deep dive in this article:

    This is such cool #softwareStudies work!

  2. still searching for the right term for something I emphasize a lot in a thesis chapter: how radio automation software still uses the tape cartridge as a {structural metaphor? virtual component? skeuomorph? process metaphor?} in its architecture. skeuomorph seems almost right but rings too ornamental/visual, when the organization of digital audio into "carts" has structural implications. any ideas? #softwarestudies #sts

  3. taking the fedi lit request machine for another spin. this time... anyone know something good on ~macros~? #softwarestudies

  4. Summer Reading! 3 incredible recent books in G. Con Diaz & my interdisciplinary Computing & Culture book series with J. Hopkins U Press

  6. On to the second day of the #STShubDe, starting for me with a session on #enviromental #STS, continuing later with a session on #Critical #Data & #SoftwareStudies, giving a paper based on a theoretical sociological analysis of concepts of ontology, illustrated by my data on #datapractices in #EnvironmentalManagement. Before the subsequent keynote by #SusannWagenknecht on leakage, and the Open Forum #WeDoSTS.

  11. Have been feeling inspired after doing some work assembling communities that I'm really interested in - thought I'd do a tag dump for some of the areas that I'm looking into, as well as have already found super interesting, have been following and am boosting... (not in alphabetical order and probably too broad but for my own future reference also!)

    Also I suppose really this is a second #Introduction after the #TwitterMigration as I'm still relatively #NewHere so... Hi again! Feel free to follow or boost if this sounds like your areas of interest also

  12. an #introduction ... 📝

    my work explores the role of digital data, methods and infrastructures in the composition of collective life.

    i'm currently focusing on...
    - 📘 a book on public data practices
    - 🌳 arts-based digital methods for exploring environmental issues
    - 🐌 a special issue on critical technical practices in digital research
    - 🗃 documenting online mobilisations of east and southeast asian communities in the uk

    i'm senior lecturer in critical infrastructure studies at the department of digital humanities, king's college london; cofounder of publicdatalab.org; and research associate at digitalmethods.net + medialab.sciencespo.fr.

  17. Grand jour! Dans le cadre du séminaire #FRA6730 dirigé par Marcello Vitali-Rosati, naissance de ⭐️ 2 articles ⭐️ sur le Wikipédia francophone:

    - Études critiques du code (#CriticalCodeStudies)
    - Études logicielles (#SoftwareStudies)

    fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tu

    fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tu

  18. I'm looking for critical papers/articles on collaborative office software (GDocs, Office 365), perhaps as part of platform capitalism.

    Any pointers appreciated.
