Fringes of Technology and Spaces of Entanglement in the Pearl River Delta
China's Pearl River Delta is a burgeoning megalopolis and a hotbed of technological transformation. Based in one of its cities, Shenzhen, the spatial knowledge exchange platform Aformal Academy was set up to explore the nature of this transformation. Its co‐founders Merve Bedir and Jason Hilgefort present a range of ventures that have been happening on the urban and digital margins, where human and nonhuman intermingle. Mechanisation, e‐commerce, online supply‐chain management and data harvesting are impacting a whole array of fields, from building construction and electric car production to craft villages and landscape projects.
