Spatialités algorithmiques

Abstract

La spatialité algorithmique suppose de considérer précisément les codes qui rendent possibles la production et la circulation des représentations de l’espace. De la codification des traces aux traitements qui les associent pour leur donner des sens particuliers, il est urgent de rendre visibles les processus de production de la visibilité. Car les codes sont porteurs de valeurs, et ceux qui en ont la maîtrise, et plus encore le contrôle, ont le pouvoir d’organiser les spatialités algorithmiques contemporaines.

Paris sewers

The sewers of the French capital Paris date back to the year 1370 when the first underground system was constructed under Rue Montmartre. Consecutive French governments enlarged the system to cover the city's population, including expansions under Louis XIV and Napoleon III, and modernisation programs in the 1990s under Mayor Jacques Chirac. The system has featured in popular culture through its existence, including Victor Hugo's 1862 novel, Les Misérables, and H. L. Humes' 1958 novel The Underground City.
