ABSTRACT
77Curating is a lens for analyzing how situated, interactive urban screens and installations offer sites of reflection on the impact of digitization, algorithmization, and datafication of public spaces in our cities. It raises questions about how the screens and installations discussed allow for experimentation and participatory engagement with the presence and emergence of various forms of data in, and about, the city as a living and emergent archive that can be accessed by means of various interfacing technologies. Curating as conceptual lens thus invites us to examine how this interfacing raises self-reflexive and critical questions about the way citizens have access to, and knowledge about, the complex processes of digitization, algorithmization, and datafication of urban life.
