Participating and Performing with Public ThingsLaura ForlanoInstitute of DesignIllinois Institute of TechnologyCo-DirectorCritical Futures LabPublic spaces in cities are currently being embedded with a range of networked things – adaptive traffic signals, urban screens, dynamic parking meters, smart lampposts and trashbins – that have the potential to create new ways of participating and engaging with urban environments. However, as part of the ‘smart city’ agenda, which is being widely adopted throughout the world, these projects are often primarily focused on promoting the values of efficiency, innovation and security. For example, in Chicago, UI Labs, a network that received a $300 million grant from the Obama Administration, is developing a citywide sensor network that is being led primarily by technology companies with little consideration of the needs or interests of citizens. On the other hand, the Array of Things project, which is primarily being led as an academic project, has been prototyping “a network of interactive, modular sensor boxes around Chicago collecting real-time data on the city’s environment, infrastructure, and activity for research and public use,” with the goal of being an open source platform for citizen science. My current design research is engaging with these topics in order to understand the socio-political implications ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Pinch</Author><Year>1984</Year><RecNum>417</RecNum><DisplayText>(Pinch & Bijker, 1984)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>417</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="ta0r525ei9r2speawp15sdrv25p50wwpfvd0">417</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Pinch, Trevor J.</author><author>Bijker, Wiebe E.</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>The Social Construction of Facts and Artefacts: Or How the Sociology of Science and the Sociology of Technology Might Benefit Each Other</title><secondary-title>Social Studies of Science</secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title>Social Studies of Science</full-title></periodical><pages>399-441</pages><volume>14</volume><number>3</number><dates><year>1984</year></dates><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Pinch & Bijker, 1984) of existing technologies as well as creating participatory design ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Spinuzzi</Author><Year>2005</Year><RecNum>706</RecNum><DisplayText>(Spinuzzi, 2005)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>706</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="ta0r525ei9r2speawp15sdrv25p50wwpfvd0">706</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Journal Article">17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Spinuzzi, Clay</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>The methodology of participatory design</title><secondary-title>Technical Communication</secondary-title></titles><periodical><full-title>Technical Communication</full-title></periodical><pages>163-174</pages><volume>52</volume><number>2</number><dates><year>2005</year></dates><isbn>0049-3155</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Spinuzzi, 2005) platforms for re-imagining alternative future possibilities ADDIN EN.CITE <EndNote><Cite><Author>Dunne</Author><Year>2013</Year><RecNum>668</RecNum><DisplayText>(Dunne & Raby, 2013)</DisplayText><record><rec-number>668</rec-number><foreign-keys><key app="EN" db-id="ta0r525ei9r2speawp15sdrv25p50wwpfvd0">668</key></foreign-keys><ref-type name="Book">6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author>Dunne, Anthony</author><author>Raby, Fiona</author></authors></contributors><titles><title>Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming</title></titles><dates><year>2013</year></dates><pub-location>Cambridge, MA</pub-location><publisher>MIT Press</publisher><isbn>0262019841</isbn><urls></urls></record></Cite></EndNote>(Dunne & Raby, 2013) of these technologies.

How might we in turn create modes of participation and performance that discipline these disobedient devices around alternative norms and values? How might we reverse the kinds of algorithmic injustices that are likely to emerge with increased reliance on these devices? Two recent projects, the needy toaster and the ethical fan, demonstrate the ways in which the design of these devices might allow for the emergence of a very different set of relationships in terms of the ways in which public things might participate in the world. At a recent workshop on “Predicting the City,” at the University of Amsterdam, we discussed the possibility of a public art project that would put smart lampposts “on trial” for their infringement of mobile data and location information.Over the past ten years, I have been researching and intervening in new forms of participation in public infrastructures in a number of ways.
