Abstract

This paper reviews literature from history, media studies, and anthropology to provide an expansive spatio-temporal framework that examines the epistemic and material aspects of computing technologies in the Anthropocene. Reconceptualizing computing as planetary technology has become imperative in the Anthropocene, in which digital sensors, devices, and infrastructures are increasingly mediating human activities to understand, utilize, and consume the Earth. Drawing upon the previous works that have examined the social, political, and cultural elements of information and communication technology (ICT), we provide three perspectives to reconsider the relationship between computing technology and the planet. Computing technologies are increasingly being adopted to measure the anthropogenic impacts on the plant, while these technologies themselves also take part in leaving deep social and material traces upon the Earth's surface. In this sense, we argue that the Anthropocene and computing technologies are co-constructive. Such a renewed perspective on computing and the Anthropocene, we hope, would bring new scalar imaginations to future studies on ICT.

본 논문은 컴퓨팅 기술을 동원하여 행성적 활동이 탐구 가능하게 된 과정을 살핀 역사학 연구와 컴퓨팅의 물질성(materiality)과 환경 영향에 방점을 둔 미디어 연구, 그리고 인류학 분야의 연구 동향을 소개한다. 특히 이러한 연구의 필요성은 지구를 이해, 사용, 소모하는 인간 활동이 두드러지는 인류세 시대에 더욱 증대되고 있다. 컴퓨팅을 바라보는 시간적-공간적 시선을 확장하여 컴퓨터와 인간, 그리고 지구의 관계를 종합적으로 살피는 작업이 필요한 것이다. 이를 위해 우리는 정보통신기술의 사회적, 정치적, 문화적 요소를 검토한 연구가 상정하는 기술과 행성의 관계를 재검토한다. 컴퓨팅 기술은 인류세로 특징지을 수 있는 흔적을 포착하는 데 사용되면서도, 그 스스로가 지구에 더 깊은 흔적을 남기는 데 기여한다. 인류세와 컴퓨팅 기술은 상호구성적 관계를 맺고 있는 것이다. 마지막으로 위의 논의들을 바탕으로 국내 과학기술학계에서도 인류세적 관점을 수용하여 정보통신기술을 새롭게 바라보는 연구가 수행되어야 한다고 제안한다.
