Energy/Technology: ‘En-Gauging’ Consumer Culture

We explore how energy gauges (e.g. battery icons) create a prospective dual awareness of technology and infrastructure we term ‘engaugement’. This allows us to contribute a novel definition of technology in CCT, a theory of energetic discipline in the panoptic field of energy consumption, and insights on the structure-agency problem.
