DESCRIPTION:Dr Hannah Knox\nCommoning Data: Informational politics in the
  Energy Crisis\n\nIn this talk I will draw on recent research with two p
 rojects that have been pursuing energy activism through data practices\,
  to reflect on the role that informational mediations of energy relation
 s come to play in the enactment of politics. Drawing on two projects in 
 London and Oldham\, which have sought to use energy data as the necessar
 y grounds for political intervention in times of energy and environmenta
 l crises\, I follow the work that such data does\, the relations it sets
  in play\, and the aporias and agonisms it provokes. In following these 
 projects\, I show how data both plays with and cuts through competing co
 nceptualisations of the ‘social collective’\, manifest variously in idea
 s about community\, coordination\, and collaboration. Moreover\, as data
  is mobilised to posit utopian collective futures\, it also makes visibl
 e the cuts and disconnections of existing social life that is revealed t
 o be more fractured\, atomised and contentious than utopian data imagina
 ries might hope. What is at stake in ‘commoning data’ is less a politics
  of representation\, and more a question of how data materialises relati
 onal possibilities and with what commitments and effects.\n
