“…‘Digital placemaking’, on the other hand – the use of ‘digital media affordances in order to cultivate or maintain a sense of attachment to place’ (Helagoua and Polson, 2021: 574) – emphasises the role that digital technologies can play in more participatory forms of placemaking, with a focus on questions of power relations and the significance of everyday culture (Gibson et al, 2021). For example, Foth (2017) argues that the emergence of digital technologies has opened opportunities for grassroots placemaking, whereby individuals become ‘co-creators in a collaborative form of city making’ (2017: 2).…”

“…The notion of atmosphere (Anderson, 2009) – a ‘spatially extended quality of feeling’ (Böhme, 1993: 118) – illuminates the role of the body and emotion in placemaking. While affect has always played an important role in people's experience and sense of place (Duff, 2010), the mobile dimension to digital technologies provides particular ‘mobile-emotive contexts’ (Cumiskey and Hjorth, 2017) that work to ‘amplify feelings of intimacy, co-presence and affect’ (Gibson et al, 2021: 559). In turn, these feelings contribute to the production of space: intimacy, for instance, ‘builds worlds; it creates spaces and usurps places meant for other kinds of relation’ (Berlant, 1998: 282).…”

Using the analysis of online activity, autoethnographic reflection, and a participant survey, this article examines Australian rock-decorating groups on Facebook and the role of social media in everyday practices of decorating, hiding, and finding rocks. These groups use the platform to celebrate and share their creativity, generate digital connections between strangers, and in so doing bring about a distinctive hybrid of online and offline space. We draw on a cultural studies approach to issues of placemaking and social media to ask: what kinds of public space – online and offline – are created through these digital and material practices? Our analysis is framed by notions of placemaking, affordances, and public atmosphere to understand these forms of everyday creativity, community, and place.

During the pandemic many aspects of our life were recalibrated through the digital—highlighting the paradoxes of the digital for both empowerment and exploitation. In particular, the pandemic demonstrated the increasing role of the digital in shaping, and being shaped by, kinship. Kinship is a complex term that captures our relationality, intimacies and connections. Kinship is always in action, always becoming. Throughout the pandemic, some cohorts such as older adults (65 years +) were disproportionally disadvantaged due to the uneven digital literacies skills. In this article I expand upon the role of digital kinship as part of human and more-than-human choreography of (informal) care for older adults in Australia. I also reflect on the role of creative forms of knowledge transmission such as illustrations and placemaking games to curate public awareness and enact change.
