When we look at some of the most pressing issues in environmental
politics today, it is hard to avoid data technologies. Big data,
artificial intelligence, and data dashboards all promise
"revolutionary" advances in the speed and scale at which
governments, corporations, conservationists, and even individuals
can respond to environmental challenges. By bringing together
scholars from geography, anthropology, science and technology
studies, and ecology, The Nature of Data explores how the digital
realm is a significant site in which environmental politics are
waged. This collection as a whole makes the argument that we cannot
fully understand the current conjuncture in critical, global
environmental politics without understanding the role of data
platforms, devices, standards, and institutions. In particular, The
Nature of Data addresses the contested practices of making and
maintaining data infrastructure, the imaginaries produced by data
infrastructures, the relations between state and civil society that
data infrastructure reworks, and the conditions under which
technology can further socio-ecological justice instead of
re-entrenching state and capitalist power. This innovative volume
presents some of the first research in this new but rapidly growing
subfield that addresses the role of data infrastructures in
critical environmental politics.

A revealing exploration of Edward Hopper's inspired relationship to
New York City through his paintings, drawings, prints, and
never-before-published archival materials This engaging book delves
into the iconic relationship between Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and
New York City. This comprehensive look at an essential aspect of
the revered American artist's life reveals how Hopper's experience
of New York's spaces, sensations, and architecture shaped his
vision and served as a backdrop for his distillations of the urban
experience. During sidewalk strolls and elevated train rides,
Hopper sketched the city's many windowed facades. Exterior views
gave way to interior lives, forging one of Hopper's defining
preoccupations: the convergence of public and private. These
permeable walls allowed Hopper to evoke the perplexing awareness of
being alone in a crowd that is synonymous with modern urban life.
Drawing on the vast resources of the Whitney Museum of American
Art, the largest repository of Hopper's work, and the recently
acquired gift of the Sanborn Hopper Archive, this book features
more than 300 illustrations and fresh insight from authoritative
and emerging scholars. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of
American Art Exhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of American Art,
New York (October 19, 2022-March 5, 2023)
