separated by the exigencies of the design life cycle into another
compartment, that makes invisible the (prior) technical work of
engineers that is not directly pertinent to the application work of
practitioners. More recently (and notably after the work of
Greisemer and Star) the black box has been opened and
infrastructure has been discussed in terms of the social relations
of an extended group of actors that includes developers. Ethical
and political issues are involved (cf f accountable computing).
Writing broadly within this context, Day (chapter 11) proposes that
the concept of 'surface' can assist us to explore space as the
product of 'power and the affective and expressive role for
materials', rather than the background to this. Surfaces are the
'variously textured...sites for mixtures between bodies', and are
thus the 'sites for events'. The notions of 'folding' and
'foldability' and 'unfolding' are discussed at length, as metaphors
that account for the interactions of bodies in space across time.
Some of the contributors to this volume focus on ways in which we
may experience multiple infrastructures. Dix and his colleagues,
for example, in chapter 12 explore a complex of models - of spatial
context, of 'mixed reality boundaries' and of human spatial
understanding across a number of field projects that make up the
Equator project to explain the ways in which co-existing multiple
spaces are experienced.
