Resumen

This article integrates arguments from the perspectives of the economics of information and of the economy of qualities to analyze the spatial consequences of digital technology and information overload on two exemplary product markets: quality wine and stock photography. It demonstrates how digital technology enhances information overload in product markets and how the geography of market relations is transformed along new intermediaries and new practices of navigation that account for two different geographical paradoxes.
