Technologies of Holding, Containing, Maintaining, and Caring

Hélène Frichot
Op/Positions

“Steven J. Jackson argues that in the dominant understanding of technological progress, innovation is assumed to come first ‘at the start of the technology chain.’ The language of innovation, he explains, ‘is generally reserved for new and computationally intensive ‘bright and shiny tools,’ while repair tends to disappear altogether.”

Hélène Frichot is a Professor of Architecture and Philosophy and a former Director with a bachelor’s degree in design at the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, University of Melbourne, Australia. She was Professor of Critical Studies and Gender Theory and Director of Critical Studies in Architecture in the School of Architecture, KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), Stockholm, Sweden, where she was based between 2012 and 2019.
