This interdisciplinary project looks into the social life of planetary observation.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the navigation apps on our phones to the environmental sensing data that informs emergency response and helps monitor protected species, our living environments are increasingly shaped by orbital sensors that watch the globe from above. Environmental monitoring satellites are at the heart of what is becoming a \u2018Smart Earth\u2019: a planet observed, managed and experienced through computation-intensive technologies. As these technologies create new forms of distance and proximity, <em>how do they transform our capacities to understand, become aware of, engage with and intervene in the environments in which we live?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Project Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project \u201cThe Smartification of the Earth: Social Designs for Planetary Observation\u201d is a collaboration between the Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Chile, School of Design and the University of Warwick\u2019s Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies, which investigates this critical question. By focusing on the &#8220;social life&#8221; of earth observation satellites, we aim to make visible the often-invisible infrastructures that are reshaping environmental governance, everyday awareness, and our relationship with the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through preliminary conversations and pilot studies in the UK and Chile, we are developing ideas and approaches for understanding how satellite data mediates our interactions with the world and informs decisions about earthly phenomena across scales, from individual citizens to international governing bodies to the planetary condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;The Smartification of the Earth&#8221; is funded by the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development (ANID) while \u201cSocial Designs for Planetary Observation\u201d received seed funding from the University of Warwick\u2019s Faculty of Social Science Research Development Fund. Our collaboration will lay the groundwork for an international research programme dedicated to fostering critical awareness and public engagement with infrastructures of planetary observation.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2549","proyectos-invest","type-proyectos-invest","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plataformasdt.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos-invest\/2549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plataformasdt.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos-invest"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plataformasdt.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/proyectos-invest"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plataformasdt.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
