1. In Kitchen, Lauriault & McArdle’s reading, it says that some municipalities, indicator, benchmarking and dashboard initiatives are being used to underpin forms of new managerialism. it just likes the the dashboard of an aircraft cockpit provides detailed data about a plane and its flight. reflect this to the experiment in the 1970s in chile, even the experiment failed for many reasons, in the last few month before it failed, it was be found that some information which should be collected from factories are delayed. In the smart city which relies on the data from the sensor, unlike bugs in the system, a delay may hard to notice., as a result, a delay could be a deadly disaster. how to deal with it when we live in a city which relies on the data so much?
2. In Gabrys’ reading, he said “Environments and environmental computation also constitute situations in which “withness” might be articulated and inform processes of participation. Withness, following Whitehead, is a concept that signals modes of being and becoming together,” if we put this “withness” to extreme, the city and the environment have extreme withness, will we human lost our position, and become only the data provider, or may less than this?
3. Because of the contingency of the infrastructure, the relationship between the city and the citizen seems to be mutualism. When the city finally could adapt only by itself, will the “withness” of the city and its citizen disappear?
