About the book
Silicon Plateau is an art project and publishing series that explores the intersection of technology, culture and society in the Indian city of Bangalore. Each volume of the series is a themed repository for research, artworks, essays and interviews that observe the ways technology permeates the urban environment and the lives of its inhabitants. The project is an attempt at creating collaborative research into art and technology, beginning by inviting an interdisciplinary group of contributors (from artists, to designers, researchers and entrepreneurs) to participate in the making of each volume.
For Silicon Plateau Volume 2, the sixteen book contributors responded to a main question: what does it mean to be an app user today—as a worker, a client, or simply an observer? The result is a collection of stories about contemporary life in Bangalore, of conversations spoken and typed, of deliberations on how we behave, what we sense, and what we might think about when we use the gamut of services offered to us on demand, through a simple a tap on our mobile devices.
