Good Game Peace Out

image of Good Game Peace Out

This chapter argues that the processes of urbanization have reached a new stage—the infrasomatic city. The infrasomatic city foregrounds the way that contemporary digital technologies are producing new multi-scalar circuits between the body and the infrastructures of everyday life. I propose that a technology central to the infrasomatic city is automated image production which is increasingly operating below the threshold of human perception.

Keywords: Automated Representations of Space ; cities ; computers ; digital ; human ; infrasomatic ; Latency ; machines ; phyisical ; relationships
