Serie: Onomatopee ; 161.1 ; Tales from a technocratic city - zine #1

Eindhoven Footnotes is a grassroots project that investigates the lived experiences of citizens in a technocratic city. Through the lens of design, writing, researching, archeology and artistic practice, the city will be dissected by an editorial board overseeing a group of participants of various backgrounds. There is a permanent, open source and public reference library and research space based at Onomatopee, which also serves as a base for our actions. It's from here that we expand out into the city. The work carried out will result in five zines, with the project culminating in a publication with additional critical reflections on experiences and information gathered, from the editorial board, outside critics and commentators. Each zine has a theme that will be in line with, and overseen by, an editorial board member’s particular quality; say the built environment, big data or challenging power structures. This zine is the first of five publications exploring what it means to live in a city of the future. The topics covered, while local, tie into the wider global debate surrounding big data and citizenship. From branding to surveillance, this zine analyses the rhetorics behind the people and companies shaping the urban environment of Eindhoven.
