Yet, more and more often, we find that citizen scientists, environmental activists, and forensic amateurs are using analog methods to present evidence of pollution, climate change, and the spread of disinformation. In this illuminating book, Dietmar Offenhuber presents a model for these practices, a model to make data generation accountable- autographic design.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Autographic refers to the notion that every event inscribes itself in countless ways. Think of a sundial, for example-a perfectly autographic device that displays information on itself. Inspired by such post-digital practices of visualization and evidence construction, Offenhuber describes an approach to visualization based on the premise that data is a material entity rather than an abstract representation. Emerson wrote, \"Every act of the man inscribes itself in the memories of his fellows, and in his own manners and face.\" In \u003ci\u003eAutographic Design\u003c\/i\u003e, Offenhuber introduces a model for design that emphasizes traces, imprints, and self-inscriptions, turning them into sensory displays.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In an age where misinformation is harder and harder to identify, \u003ci\u003eAutographic Design\u003c\/i\u003e makes an urgent and persuasive case for a different approach that calls attention to the production of data and its connection to the material world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49752127111441,"sku":"NGR9780262547024","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262547023.jpg?v=1751453456"},{"product_id":"decoding-the-city-book-dietmar-offenhuber-9783038215974","title":"Decoding the City","description":"The MIT based SENSEable City Lab under Carlo Ratti is one of the research centers that deal with the flow of people and goods, but also of refuse that moves around the world. Experience with large-scale infrastructure projects suggest that more complex and above all flexible answers must be sought to questions of transportation or disposal. This edition, edited by Dietmar Offenhuber and Carlo Ratti, shows how Big Data change reality and, hence, the way we deal with the city. It discusses the impact of real-time data on architecture and urban planning, using examples developed in the SENSEable City Lab. They demonstrate how the Lab interprets digital data as material that can be used for the formulation of a different urban future. It also looks at the negative aspects of the city-related data acquisition and control. The authors address issues with which urban planning disciplines will work intensively in the future: questions that not only radically and critically review, but also change fundamentally, the existing tasks and how the professions view their own roles.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51061341651217,"sku":"NIN9783038215974","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51438741782801,"sku":"GOR009279754","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53371581104401,"sku":"GOR014884212","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/303821597X.jpg?v=1752317281"},{"product_id":"waste-is-information-book-dietmar-offenhuber-9780262036733","title":"Waste Is Information","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe relationship between infrastructure governance and the ways we read and represent waste systems, examined through three waste tracking and participatory sensing projects.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaste is material information. Landfills are detailed records of everyday consumption and behavior; much of what we know about the distant past we know from discarded objects unearthed by archaeologists and interpreted by historians. And yet the systems and infrastructures that process our waste often remain opaque. In this book, Dietmar Offenhuber examines waste from the perspective of information, considering emerging practices and technologies for making waste systems legible and how the resulting datasets and visualizations shape infrastructure governance. He does so by looking at three waste tracking and participatory sensing projects in Seattle, S o Paulo, and Boston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffenhuber expands the notion of urban legibility--the idea that the city can be read like a text--to introduce the concept of infrastructure legibility. He argues that infrastructure governance is enacted through representations of the infrastructural system, and that these representations stem from the different stakeholders' interests, which drive their efforts to make the system legible. The Trash Track project in Seattle used sensor technology to map discarded items through the waste and recycling systems; the Forager project looked at the informal organization processes of waste pickers working for Brazilian recycling cooperatives; and mobile systems designed by the city of Boston allowed residents to report such infrastructure failures as potholes and garbage spills. Through these case studies, Offenhuber outlines an emerging paradigm of infrastructure governance based on a\u003cbr\u003ecomplex negotiation among users, technology, and the city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51720752398609,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51720752627985,"sku":"GOR012224662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0262036738.jpg?v=1751389011"},{"product_id":"waste-is-information-book-dietmar-offenhuber-9780262549967","title":"Waste Is Information","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book is the wise and compassionate friend you need when you experience grief and loss. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Everyone faces loss, and everyone grieves.
