In Phase Media, James Ash theorizes how smart objects, understood
as Internet-connected and sensor-enabled devices, are altering
users' experience of their environment. Rather than networks
connected by lines of transmission, smart objects generate phases,
understood as space-times that modulate the spatio-temporal
intelligibility of both humans and non-humans. Examining a range of
objects and services from the Apple Watch to Nest Cam to Uber, Ash
suggests that the modulation of spatio-temporal intelligibility is
partly shaped by the commercial logics of the industries that
design and manufacture smart objects, but can also exceed them.
Drawing upon the work of Martin Heidegger, Gilbert Simondon and
Bruno Latour, Ash argues that smart objects have their own phase
politics, which offer opportunities for new forms of public to
emerge. Phase Media develops a conceptual vocabulary to contend
that smart objects do more than just enabling a world of increased
corporate control and surveillance, as they also provide the tools
to expose and re-order the very logics and procedures that created
them.
