Aesthetics of Resolution. A postdisciplinary approach to countering the technocapitalist black box |
| source |
SIGraDi 2018 [Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Iberoamerican Society of Digital Graphics - ISSN: 2318-6968] Brazil, São Carlos 7 - 9 November 2018, pp. 1187-1197 |
| summary |
Visibility and knowledge are based on access to information. We usually consider this as either a question of collecting new or examining existing data. However, the term -black box society? (Pasquale) points to a situation in which data are deliberately concealed, enabling complex processes of technocapitalist exploitation. Manufacturing information asymmetry and noise have become effective tools to gain competitive advantage across all levels of life. This text argues that adverse technopolitical schemes can be addressed with an aesthetics of resolution and with the figure of the renegade, an expert who makes the black box speak from inside. |
