Research Emphasis:

• Digital navigation
• Autonomous vehicles
• Playful methodologies
• Protest events

Project:

Digital Navigation in the Driving-Machine
This project explores the calculative logics of (navigational) decision-making in autonomous vehicles. It looks to build on previous work on anticipation, risk, interfaces and failure to interrogate the distributed, precarious nature of (digital) navigational assemblages.
