Ethnography of Algorithms

12 Sep 2024 - NYC

I’m currently working on a project that explores the role of algorithms in urban life in collaboration with Malte Jung and Steve Jackson. I’m focusing on e-bike delivery couriers who ride for companies like Grubhub and DoorDash. The project takes inspiration from Henri Lefebvre’s Rhythmanalysis. The project employes the notion of a meshwork (drawing upon Tim Ingold and Lefebvre) to describe the structure of urban rhythms and how they interconnect. For a sneak preview of the project, check out the interactive diagram of city meshwork below.

Stay tuned for more information.
