Synopsis

This book explores what's happening to ways of seeing urban spaces in the contemporary moment, when so many of the technologies through which cities are visualised are digital. Cities have always been pictured, in many media and for many different purposes. This edited collection explores how that picturing is changing in an era of digital visual culture. Analogue visual technologies like film cameras were understood as creating some sort of a trace of the real city. Digital visual technologies, in contrast, harvest and process digital data to create images that are constantly refreshed, modified and circulated. Each of the chapters in this volume examines a different example of how this processual visuality is reconfiguring the spatial and temporal organisation of urban life.

In 2016 she was awarded a British Academy Fellowship to research "Timescapes of Urban Change". More recently she has been working on developing creative methodologies and digital tools to capture the sense of place of cities and the ways in which urban environments are stratified by power relations; see www.sensorysmithfield.com and www.sensorycities.com. Her forthcoming monograph, A New Urban Aesthetic: Experiencing Urban Change Digitally (with Gillian Rose), explores how digital visualizations are transforming urban experiences.

Isobel Ward is an AHRC-sponsored PhD candidate in the Department of Geography at King's College London.
