| Abstract | Infrastructure is undoubtedly a key resource for people engaged in
technologically-mediated nomadicity. Tech-Nomads rely on technological infrastructure
components, such as Wi-Fi availability, to mobilise their workplaces and effectively
accomplish their productive activities. In this paper, we introduce findings from an
investigation focusing on how technological infrastructures are re-instantiated according
to emerging demands. We focus particularly on the European Social Forum (ESF) (an
activists’ platform) and the problems faced by the members of this network in mobilising
its infrastructure, stressing findings from the literature about the importance of making
infrastructure visible for nomadic practices, which have not yet been sufficiently explored.
We suggest that infrastructure (re-) design methods would be a relevant resource for
Tech-Nomads engaged in activities such as the ones from ESF. |
