We Have Always Been Geohackers
As the so-called earth spun before us, the universalist geologic commons emerged. A particular regime embedded within the software that imbues the histories of colonial earth-writing and a geologics in
which “[e]xtractable matter must be both passive (awaiting extraction
and possessing of properties) and able to be activated through the
mastery of white men.”
In these scenes of turbocapitalism, the making present of fossil fuels
and metals as waiting for extraction heavily depend on software tools,
such as Gplates, for handling, interpreting and 3-D visualization
of geological data. These entangled softwares form an infrastructural
complex of mining and measuring. Such tools belong to what we refer to
as “the contemporary regime of volumetrics,” meaning the
enviro-socio-technical politics––a computational aesthetics––that emerge
with the measurement of volumes and generation of 3-D objects. A regime
full of bugs.
