Abstract

This paper follows recent science studies in theorizing information technologies as socio-material conŽ gurations, aligned into more and less durable forms. The study of how new technologies emerge shifts, on this view, from a focus on inven- tion to an interest in ongoing practices of assembly, demonstration, and performance. This view is developed in relation to the case of the ‘prototype’, an explorator y technology designed to effect alignment between the multiple inter- ests and working practices of technology research and development, and sites of technologies-in-use. In so far as it is successful, the prototype works as an exemp- lary artefact that is at once intelligibly familiar to the actors involved, and recog- nizably new.
