This article investigates how new digital technologies are established in agriculture. It draws upon empirical data from a qualitative case study with a Swiss based but internationally operating start-up that has recently obtained the first authorisation to spray crop protection products on vineyards with their home-made drone. The authors show that there has been a joint-effort between the private company and federal institutions to experiment, improve and regulate the functioning of the drone.

Drawing on qualitative interviews conducted with users of the smartphone application Foursquare in New York City, this article explores what navigating urban space and finding places of interests (cafés, restaurants, bars, etc.) means when relying on maps that are algorithmically personalized. This article questions the ways in which users are profiled and categorized in fluid and post-demographic ways and draws on the concept of foam from Sloterdijk to address these fluid spatialities.

Drawing upon police statistics, this paper explores the impacts of the videosurveillance cameras (CCTV) installed in November 2014 in the Pâquis neighborhood in Geneva. It focuses on the evolution of criminality within the filmed perimeter and nearby settings. In line with former studies, our results underline the limited preventive effects of the CCTV system. The analysis shows that cameras are inducing criminality displacement, mainly of drug trafficking.

Drawing upon two public opinion surveys conducted in Geneva in 2015 and 2016, the paper explores how video surveillance was lived and perceived by the residents of the monitored Pâquis area, as well as by the population at large. This study shows the system gradually loses its relevance in people's everyday life, which, in turn, limits the cameras' symbolic power to enduringly revitalize, and thus to properly re-territorialize, the monitored areas.
