Happy to share that my article is live: enjoy some #semiconductor industry dynamics in #Vietnam and #Taiwan.

I draw on ethnographic fieldwork at industry fairs in Taipei and Hanoi to make sense of a global frenzy. Follow me on a trip.

This is just one contribution of my work in a data center research project, and it also hints at further research on the planetary entanglements of the semiconductor industry, some of which is being done in the German-Taiwanese collaboration on “Silicon Urbanism”.

Stay tuned for more contributions, a panel I co-organize at the EASST Review, a research project that’s in the pipeline. And reach out if you’re interesting in knowing things or exploring avenues for collab.

One of the images used in the article, a snapshot from the Taipei industry fair where a journalist showed me an image of the (now former) chairman of TSMC, the star of the industry, that was just rushed through the venue.
