In taking into account the ways in which material and social realms are constitutively entangled within organizations, it is rhetorically tempting to say that technologies structures reconfigure each other. But what does mean
This article analyzes the role of hype in performing and translating corporate sociotechnical imaginaries digital technologies, into context Danish society. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork technology events Denmark, this proposes “hot air” as a concept to describe how for future performs these imaginaries. describes overlapping that dominate performative effects its critique, articulating them. makes an empirical conceptual contribution study imaginaries, particular, their socio-material...
This paper discusses the empirical case of an aging and obsolescent infrastructure supporting a space science mission that is currently approaching known end. Such contributes to our understanding degrading path at end-of-life infrastructure. During this later stage in life we can observe common issues associated with infrastructures' hardware's material decay, programming languages software tools reaching end support, obsolete managerial methodologies, etc. infrastructural decay reveals how...
While development of software always implicitly takes place in contexts inherited entanglements and legacies, its maintenance deals explicitly with what is already present. Software locates itself media res, the middle things. Maintaining typically involves intervening material archive source code, documentation, tools. Doing so successfully requires relevant situated knowledge how at hand hangs together, to effectively put this use. This builds on first-hand experience, acquired practice...
Menstruation and fertility tracking applications are of increasing concern in HCI research, as their use becomes more widespread. Methods needed to understand how such become entangled everyday practices. While these apps promise increased self-knowledge reproductive potential by collecting intimate data about bodies, they also restrict the knowledge produced users' bodies embed normative understandings reproduction gender. In this paper, we scrutinize normativities deploying "walkthrough...
Open source software communities have demonstrated that they can produce high quality results. The overall success of peer code review, commonly used in open projects, has likely contributed strongly to this success. Code review is an emotionally loaded practice, with public exposure reputation and ample opportunities for conflict. We set off ask why works communities, despite inherent challenge. interviewed 21 contributors from four participated meetings ROS community devoted implementation...
Wiki-like or crowdsourcing models of collaboration can provide a number benefits to academic work. These techniques may engage expertise from different disciplines, and potentially increase productivity. This paper presents model massively distributed collaborative authorship papers. model, developed by collective thirty authors, identifies key tools that would be necessary useful the writing process. The process collaboratively this was used discover, negotiate, document issues in authored...
This paper offers the related concepts of 'caring' and 'commoning', borrowed from feminist technoscience political economy, as both values for design analytical lenses to scrutinize computer-cooperative infrastructures activist interventions. The draws on empirical work conducted in a European participatory project confronting risks social exclusion that result precarious labor conditions increasingly affecting populations. We discuss how combined caring commoning present alternatives...
In a study of users' interactions with Siri, the iPhone personal assistant application, we noticed emergence overlaps and blurrings between explanatory categories such as "human" "machine". We found that users work to purify these categories, thus resolving tensions related overlaps. This "purification work" demonstrates how are always in flux redrawn even they kept separate. Drawing on STS analytic techniques, demonstrate mechanisms work." also describe category remained invisible us during...
This paper studies data work in an organizational context, and suggests speculative as a useful concept the dashboard design concept, to better understand support cooperative work. Drawing on fieldwork Danish public sector organisation, identifies conceptualizes performed around processes of digitalization push become data-driven. The is proposed opportunity for design, using practices from research facilitate speculation about data?its sources, visualizations, infrastructures. It does so by...
Abstract In this article, we suggest approaching writing as a vulnerable practice marked by an unstable boundary between bodies: bodies of text and writers. We present exercise‐method that refer to Monster Writing, which have developed in order engage with these instabilities well address experiences difficulty, anxiety uncertainty relation the process. Though process can at times be exciting thrilling, other perhaps little tedious mundane, for some it also presents (more than) occasional...
Pull requests are a method to facilitate review and management of contribution in distributed software development. Software developers author commits, present them pull request be inspected by maintainers reviewers. The success sustainability communities depends on ongoing contributions, but rejections decrease motivation contributors. We carried out qualitative study understand the mechanisms evaluating PRs open source (FOSS) from perspective. interviewed 30 participants five different...
When designing artificial intelligence (AI) in politicised contexts, such as the public sector, optimistic promises of what AI can achieve often shape decisions around which problems should address. Different epistemological views carry different understandings is considered problem at hand, and, we show this paper, ethnographic perspectives fail to match AI. This paper reflects on personal experiences from an interdisciplinary research project that aimed take a responsible approach and...
In this paper, we present a view of design methods as discourse on practice. We consider how the deployment particular set enables and constrains not only practical action but also discursive within A case study agile software development illustrates ways that establish conditions for who can speak in process how. indentify three main kinds work performed invoking methods. These are establishing ontologies, authorizing voices, legitimizing practices. then discuss implications CSCW research...
Hardware decays, software obsolesces, infrastructures sediment, devices patinate. While recent scholarship has examined longevity and sustainability, we have little empirical understanding of how things age, decay, obsolesce might approach impermanence as a resource for practice reflection. This one-day NordiCHI'16 workshop will bring together researchers from the fields design, HCI, anthropology, in order to unpack temporalities these forms both theoretical practical perspectives. The aims...
Science and technology studies (STS) is a discipline concerned with examining how social technological worlds shape each other. In this paper, we argue that STS can be used to study the work of software development as complex, interacting system people, organizations, culture, practices, technology, or in terms, an assemblage. We illustrate application these ideas development, where theory directs us towards at human-human relations, human-machine machine-machine relations. conclude by...
