Informed by accounts of embodied experiences of living in the toxic air of Beijing\u2014notoriously known for its pervasive fine particulate pollution\u2014our project highlights how the adoption of easily digitisable indexes of airborne particulate matter such as PM2.5 and the Air Quality Index (AQI) has opened up for a datafied conceptualisation of urban air, thus contributing to a new perceptual regime in which urban air is reimagined as a site of \u2018care and calculation\u2019 managed through data.\r\n\r\nFurther, it outlines the conflicting politics of the continuous, near real-time pollution data as they, on the one hand, give visibility to the toxic particulates\u2014allowing certain citizens to individually self-care by managing their personal risks and exposures\u2014while on the other hand, they are consistent with a broader shift towards algorithmic regulation and environmental distribution of control and governance that largely bypass any aspiration towards collective care."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_cta","bgcolor":"has-bg-blue","bgcolor_custom":"","layout_col_size":8,"cta_link":{"type":"url","value":"https:\/\/as-air-became-this-number.schloss-post.com","title":"","target":"0"},"cta_txt":"As Air Became This Number by Hanna Husberg & Agata Marzecova","cta_button_txt":"Visit the Project"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_teaser","teaser_elements":[{"teaser_bgcolor":"has-bg-yellow","teaser_outline":false,"teaser_border":[],"teaser_type":"teaser_post","teaser_preview":["preview_txt","preview_img"],"teaser_preview_img_style":"teaser_preview_img_right","teaser_obj_type":"teaser_post","teaser_obj_el":11450,"teaser_taxonomy_el":null,"teaser_headline":"","teaser_person_current":false,"teaser_person_current_juror":false,"teaser_person_current_employee":false,"post_taxonomies_person_type":[],"post_taxonomies_program":[],"post_taxonomies_year_generation":[],"post_taxonomies_practice_field":[],"teaser_btntxt":"READ THE INTERVIEW"}]}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=11584"},{"taxonomy":"project_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_type?post=11584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
