This week we’re jumping back in time to visit Talking Headways episode 285 featuring Professor Germaine Halegoua discussing her book The Digital City: Media and the Social Production of Place.  It’s one of my favorite book discussions ever and I thought it would be a nice episode to revisit. In this episode, Germaine talks about how people use digital media to relate to cities whether that’s images on Instagram or through Google Maps. We also talk about how data exchange can be exploitative and how internet infrastructure is used as a commodity rather than a utility and how that affects equity. And finally there's a discussion about smart cities and how they try to create top down culture. *** Follow us on twitter @theoverheadwire Follow us on Mastadon theoverheadwire@sfba.social Follow us on Threads or Instagram @theoverheadwire Support the show on Patreon http://patreon.com/theoverheadwire Buy books on our Bookshop.org Affiliate site!  And get our Cars are Cholesterol shirt at Tee-Public!
