Abstract
Everyday lives are increasingly experienced with reference to, and produced by digital information. This information ever more includes crowd-sourced and social media content that mediates interactions with and between places and individuals. Ranging from Yelp reviews of restaurants, to check-ins to points of interest, to uploading image and video records of events, these digital practices and performances have emerged as key moments in the process of place-making.
