De-Blackboxing: Unfolding Networks

“De-Blackboxing” refers to the process of making the inner workings of technology that are otherwise hidden or opaque - visible and transparent. The term “Blackboxing”, originating from Bruno Latour’s concept and sociology of science, suggests that as machines and technologies operate efficiently, their internal complexities become invisible. [1]

“Unfolding Networks” is an endeavour seeking to uncover these hidden structures and gives an overview for sustainable and equitable alternative network models. “Unfolding Networks” explores historic, present, and future alternative network models through various examples and case studies - to imagine and advocate for alternative networked worlds that are sustainable, equitable, and transparent.
