Resumo

Smart cities initiatives are based on strong narratives fostered by companies and governments to deploy digital technologies in a way to improve economic growth and sustainability, as well as to maintain a better control, surveillance, and efficient usage of urban resources. It is a mix of business innovation, technocratic discourses, big data and internet of things hype. Many projects are currently being carried out and celebrated around the globe. With Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data deployment in the core of Smart Cities initiatives (digital things, algorithms, operational systems, control rooms…), we now have to deal with a new feature of objects: their performative sensibility. Based on my observation of three smart cities initiatives (Glasgow, Curitiba, and Bristol), I would like to point out to a specific issue on the social and political dimensions of objects’ invisibility in everyday life. I propose here a very preliminary theoretical background in order to analyse the public participation and the object's invisibility in those cities. I’ll put a strong emphasis on the Internet of Things and the changing in the nature of objects. In my preliminary analysis, informational-enhanced objects are not clearly in "handiness". This invisibility is in the core of the "algorithm governmentality".
