Contents Introduction : environment as experiment in sensing technology -- Sensing an experimental forest : processing environments and distributing relations -- From moss cam to spill cam : techno-geographies of experience -- Animals as sensors : mobile organisms and the problem of milieus -- Sensing climate change and expressing environmental citizenship -- Sensing oceans and geo-speculating with a garbage patch -- Sensing air and creaturing data -- Citizen sensing in the smart and sustainable city : from environments to environmentality -- Engaging the idiot in participatory digital urbanism -- Digital infrastructures of withness : constructing a speculative city -- Conclusion : planetary computerization, revisited
Summary "Grappling with the consequences of wiring our world, Program Earth examines how sensor technologies are programming our environments. Jennifer Gabrys suggests that the sensor-based monitoring of Earth offers the prospect of making new environments not simply as an extension of the human but rather as new "technogeographies" that connect technology, nature, and people."
