Abstract:

Ubiquitous computing environments serve resources to individuals based on notions of what is appropriate for each individual in a particular context. They mediate identity, social relations, public and private spaces, and social power. They should be designed with a critical awareness of the politics of visibility. This paper suggests criteria by which they might be assessed. Firstly ? do ubicomp environments permit individuals to claim a particular social identity in a particular social context? They should facilitate separable contexts and separable identifiers. They should permit subjects to mirror their own performances. Secondly ? do environments provide a public context from which to produce subcultural knowledge, and permit the formation of in-groups able to share insights and produce knowledge with each other? Finally ? do environments permit the public claiming of their resources? They should make their own workings visible and facilitate the public visibility of the various knowledges produced by their members.
