About Mila
Mila Samdub researches infrastructures and aesthetics of digital governance in India and beyond. He is interested in the use of biometric ID for development, the management and visualization of information through indicator dashboards, and the architecture of the digital state. Mila holds a Masters degree in Environmental Design from Yale School of Architecture. Previously, Mila worked as a curator based in New Delhi, where his exhibitions explored the intersections of visual culture and technology.
As an Open Future fellow, Mila will undertake a comparative study of Digital Public Infrastructures to produce a typology of the definitions and motivations attached to DPIs around the world. By disambiguating the various promises of DPIs, he hopes to support more nuanced, critical, and context-specific evaluations of their successes and failures.
