Abstract
Increasingly connected devices and things create new relationships between humans and devices that invite questions about infrastructuring, or the process through which these links come into being and are maintained (Korn et al., 2019). These create an ecology of physical
and digital relationships that emerge as infrastructure (Star and Ruhleder, 1994). This paper presents preliminary results of the Unheard City project that engages with devices using the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol with an Android phone. The application draws from data
ethnography with sensors (Nafus, 2018). My contribution uses the methods to explore infrastructure and its infrastructuring. I introduce the app supported data walk before using the results of app supported data walks to reflect on the socio-technical infrastructures that are detected on the Bluetooth signals and the technological literacies required to both read it (Parks and Starosielski, 2015).
