  Article:   TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC EXPERIMENTATION IN SPACE.

  Abstract:  This paper examines the use of Augmented Reality technology as a site of both a playful and creative form, and an analytical, ordering form of experimentation in space. It frames these contrasting modes of experimentation with an analysis of de Certeau`s tactical and strategic power as they relate to spatial practices. The open nature of social media technology vastly extends de Certeau`s understanding of spatial practices as “phatic” (essentially communicative). However, a strategic reading sees the documentation and digitization of elements of the world as a form of autographic surveillance, realizing the enframing action that Heidegger identified as fundamental to technology.
