I have tried to pull all of the different elements of my week into a single video artefact: readings, audio produced in part by algorithms, visuals generated by algorithm alongside the algorithmic generated YouTube recommendations for me. The final curated video displays the human aspects behind the numbers.
Great video Clare! Nice use of quotes, I particularly liked the notion that ‘humans will always be messy…’ Built-in to algorithms often seems to be a rather rational, simplistic model of the world that doesn’t perhaps reflect some of the ‘messiness’ of social life. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean we are unaffected by them. We may be ‘messy’, but are we still prone to be affected?
