For anyone interested in #InfrastructureStudies or #CriticalDigitalInfrastructure, this is a fantastic article by Daniel Smith, Ash Kyd, Michael Reid (no relation) and Tim Leslie for the #ABC, uncovering the underwater #fibre #networking cables that provide #internet to Australians, and how they intersect with regional #geopolitics.

There are broader questions here about national capability and technological inter-dependence on other countries

But for me, it was another reminder of how much of our #infrastructure is hidden, unseen, yet able to shape our everyday lives. Surfacing hidden infrastructures helps us think critically about who's shaping those infrastructures, and for what purpose.

“How do we look at the underground not only as a different physical space but also a different space of possibility?”

On the latest episode of Imagine Otherwise, Juan Llamas-Rodriguez explains how representations of tunnels along the Mexico–US border shape public policy as well as how activists, artists, and scholars are reimagining the political possibilities of these spaces.

Experienced a remarkable uptick in hallway chatter and coffee making while the IT department was trying to bring the mailserver back up. Made me re-read a bit of Susan Leigh-Star.
