Abstract (De)
The paper argues for the analysis of public data dashboards as a specific digital artifact, although many of the issues surrounding dashboards overlap with discussions on the governance through goals, indicators, and quantification on the one hand, and discussions on visual politics on the other. Studying public data dashboards in their own right allows researchers to account for their specific features and materiality as well as for the knowledge practices that have emerged around them. Moreover, it makes it possible to unearth the latent conflicts that come with these readily accessible public tools. The paper illustrates potential findings of such an analysis with initial insights from a case study.
