Digital technology and platforms are reshaping many aspects of contemporary social life. My research is motivated by describing and theorizing such transformations. I’m currently part of ‘The Data Driven Home’ research project where I study commercial and public visions and perceptions of home in relation to the notion of ‘smart homes’. I specifically explore how smart, connected, and data-driven technologies create new relations to and between objects in domestic space. With a background in social science and philosophy I work with concepts from social theory, philosophy of technology, anthropology, and organization studies as ways to explore the intersection between technology, culture, and consumption in contemporary society.
