Description
Summary:The writers explore the contribution of digital code to the production of space by examining the ways in which an example of code—geodemographic classification—is constructed. They then question what it is about the emergent production of space that may feed back recursively into the production of that code. Using this approach, the writers deviate from conventional research on the ways in which digital code contributes to the production of space, which first examines particular spaces and then considering the code and its effect on those spaces.
