Continuous connectivity, handheld computers, and mobile spatial knowledgeMatthew Wilson
Presented for the Local & Mobile 2012 conference on 18 March 2012; also presented a couple weeks earlier at the 2012 AAG meetings in NYC on 24 February 2012.
Abstract:
As geospatial information seemingly moves from users' personal computers to 'the cloud', the use of the phrase 'geographic technologies' has increasingly indicated things beyond desktop GIS. With these shifts in the distribution of geospatial data and practices, and the rise of the geoweb as a site of inquiry, new concepts are needed to better understand the conditions of geographic technologies. In this paper, I conceptualize one such element of interactivity: connection. Here, I argue that a logic of continuous connectivity underlies the development of digital spatial media and influences the contemporary production of spatial knowledge. For those lives lived that are presumed to be 'always-connected', interactions are figured by these connections to digital media. Many of these digital devices (especially mobile ones) become functional only through a series of connections to data and communication networks. For instance, mobile phones are in continuous communication regardless of direct use, 'listening' to cellular towers and analyzing proximity to deliver the best possible connection. From these system-level codes that maintain device connectivity to software-level codes that push and pull data to and from 'the cloud', being always-connected is part of a cultural milieu that has diverse implications not only for attention but also for the development of collective, spatial knowledge. Here, I situate the emergence of continuous connectivity in the marketing of handheld computers in the late-1990s, to historicize the importance of connection for understanding geospatial practices.

Humans have never been more capable of identifying their individualized location upon the surface of the Earth. A dazzling mesh of wired and wireless infrastructure permeates the planet and reaches far into the atmosphere. These materials are most recent manifestations within a long continuum of retentional techniques for the reproduction of humanity itself. The map stretches the lengths of this continuum, albeit with differing rhythms and volumes of use. Beyond identifying with the land, humanity inscribes upon the land with the broadest and most minute forces and movements -- all resolved through the machinic assembly of our location-aware society. The map is therefore both a guide for and record of these processes of inscription. However, if the map is not simply understood as a window onto spatial phenomena, as over a century of radical engagements with and upon the map have made evident, then what might be the benefit of treating the map instead as an agar, that material of microbiological inquiry -- a substance upon and within which cultures and acculturation is produced? Perhaps the map is more an artifact of the times and spaces of map-use than a clarified vision of reality. Thought in this way, the map becomes an externalization of human culture, memory, and action, and we can register the reverberations of the power geometries that produced such maps and allowed them to persist.

On being technopositional in digital geographiesMatthew Wilson
These are the slides from my presentation of The cultural geographies Annual Lecture of the American Association of Geographers on 7 April 2017 in Boston, Mass.
Abstract:
The rising interest in the digital within geography has created an opportunity to reassert the role and responsibility of academic inquiry -- to study and to do, to understand and to intervene, to put thought into action, to be technopositional. Indeed, a groundswell of interest in what is termed ‘digital geographies’ across Anglophone human geography has been marked by the recent organization of working and specialty groups of the Royal Geographical Society and the American Association of Geographers. Whether political ecologies, economic and urban geographies, critical mapping, or cultural geographies, the subfields of our discipline are increasingly interdigitated -- both in how inquiry proceeds and in the object of inquiry itself. Therefore, it is timely, following recent interventions by Gillian Rose, to take stock of the role of the digital in the wider discipline, to better articulate a distinctly technopositional stance. In this cultural geographies Annual Lecture, I reflect on the original agenda of the journal set out in 1994 (under the name Ecumene), to foster discussion around four themes: culture and landscape, histories of geographical knowledges, environmentalism, and local and global meanings. I contemplate the simultaneous technophilic currents within the discipline and the ‘GIS wars’ which were being waged at that time. In doing so, I outline current opportunities (and urgencies) for technocultural geographies which are responsible and responsive, situated by the shifting registers of the digital map in geographical scholarship, public imaginaries and attention economies, and radical engagements.
In this lightning talk at SheepCamp ("Working with Big and User Generated Geographic Data"), I outline what might be a research agenda moving forward in the study of the geoweb, VGI, and/or neogeography.

Prepared for Geographic Representation Now
Harvard Graduate School of Design
11.11.11
Abstract: Critical geographic information systems is an area of research positioned at the intersection of critical geography and geographic information science, drawing together technical capabilities for geographic representation and analysis with the critical capacities of social theory, more-than-human geographies, and the digital humanities. Critical GIS scholarship is particularly influenced by the work of participatory action researchers, the histories of cartography and geographic information technologies, and the inclusion of alternative (radical, local, everyday) knowledges. It inherits a focused attention to the social implications of geospatial technologies from the GIS and Society tradition while being cognizant of the technical debates and intricacies of GIScience. In this presentation, I sketch the present history of critical GIS. That is, I reflect upon specific engagements in Geography that currently situate critical GIS, and outline the more pressing aspects of its research agenda. I then introduce critical mapping efforts at the University of Kentucky, including work around public engagement, the mapping of user-generated content, and open data advocacy in local government.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
