Abstract
From a techno-cultural view on interaction, this article takes up the relationship between the technologies of the networked city and

domestic networked products, and consequent material and conditioning relations to the field of design. This contrasts with more

infrastructural framings of networked cities and ubiquitous computing. To reveal and discuss such relationships a research approach was

adopted which involved the design and making of a prototypical playful networked product that connects to the Internet and the locationbased

service Foursquare. The product acts both as an epistemic object that holds arguments and bears knowledge for unpacking, and as

a heuristic device for ‘critical making’. The research is framed within a discursive design view that focuses on the socio-cultural aspects

of interaction and technology. Via a discursive tracing, and a related visual “ontography”, I reflect on and discuss the material realities of

designing for and with the networked city, and consider how design research and practice can challenge pervasive tropes of seamlessness

and immateriality. I argue that discursive and cultural approaches to interaction design are needed to further extend and explore our design

notions about what networked cities and products are, and might become, in the near future
