DCRC - Digital Cultures Research Centre

On the 19th of April I contributed to the 'virtual space' event held by Passenger Films, combining short talks and film screenings that addressed the theme of ‘the virtual’. Passenger Films is a series of public events initiated by Amy Cutler, a cultural geographer at Royal Holloway, and supported by UCL UrbanLab, that combine talks and film screenings. I had the privilege of speaking alongside Rob Kitchin, Director of the National Institute of Regional and Spatial Analysis (Republic of Ireland) and co-author of 'Code/Space: Software and Everyday Life.

We are conducting ongoing investigations into the co-production of space and place between the human and the technical (following Stiegler, neither pre-exists the other) that Martin Dodge and Rob Kitchin have usefully labeled "Code/Space".  This is not, of course, the only form of spatiality that is associated with the performance of 'technicity' in everyday life, but it is a useful category for description.  I have prepared a thematic bibliography, including references from Kitchin & Dodge's "Code/Space: Software and Everyday Life", that may be of interest and/or useful to others. Please find it in plain text below.
