Digital self-tracking devices and data have become normal elements
of everyday life. Imagining Personal Data examines the implications
of the rise of body monitoring and digital self-tracking for how we
inhabit, experience and imagine our everyday worlds and futures.
Through a focus on how it feels to live in environments where data
is emergent, present and characterized by a sense of uncertainty,
the authors argue for a new interdisciplinary approach to
understanding the implications of self-tracking, which attends to
its past, present and possible future. Building on social science
approaches, the book accounts for the concerns of scholars working
in design, philosophy and human-computer interaction. It
problematizes the body and senses in relation to data and tracking
devices, presents an accessible analytical account of the sensory
and affective experiences of self-tracking, and questions the
status of big data. In doing so it proposes an agenda for future
research and design that puts people at its centre.
