AB - Bruno Latour(1947-) created the concept of the “oligopticon” along with Actor-Network Theory, with the purpose of explaining, mobilizing the collection of all data, and identifying the connections that data has with all information. A panopticon is a method of closed-circuit television that enables a panoramic view, but an oligopticon is just the opposite, and enables a view of just the details. The city is a place that displays the phenomenon of an entanglement of several complex phenomenon and it should be identified through diverse context. Consequently, by observing the project titled, Paris: Invisible City , which was a work by Latour known as “a Sociological Web Opera”, this study will research the methods of interpreting a city, and look into how a concept such as “plasma” can explain the unfixed nature of cities. Also, this paper examines how an artist can experience a city by collecting massive amount of data by OpenEndedGroup known as the Detroit Transect project. The range of data collection mentioned here is not merely information obtained via non-human actors, but rather it includes all a holistic approach of all information that includes the actions and experiences of a human population. Thus, this article analyzes how the concept of “linked networks” is invoked when applied widely in a social system by looking at works of contemporary arts through oligopticon.
