The experience of the contemporary city is interwoven with various forms of digitization, some more perceptible than others—ranging from those generated by apps like Uber, Yelp!, or the Guadalajara municipal tourism office, to the extraction of big data from our movements by telecommunications companies, and the network of public and private video surveillance. These mediations organize the city to function as a productive assembly, primarily for economic value. I propose we examine some forms of digital writing that have operated on the city in recent years—3D mapping and multimedia projections—as well as strategies of resistance to these forms of entertainment and regulation of experience, as explored by various artists and collectives, from Krzysztof Wodiczko and Astrovandalistas to sitio*TAXI.
