dear spectres, here a recent publication that may interest some of you, about the evergreen topic of algorithms and their political implications, even beyond free and open source. Its my Ph.D thesis and its released as creative commons, free to download.
https://pearl.plymouth.ac.uk/handle/10026.1/11101 I post it here because the methodologies adopted and the shores touched by this research journey are closely related to artistic practices. To quote a relevant excerpt: The reason to put forward an artistic practice in this thesis lies in the belief that arts can bring resourceful insights in the process of creating value sensitive and trustworthy designs, and that dialogue among disciplines is the core of creativity During the course of this research, my participation in the STARTS platform (Digital Agenda for Europe, Initiative for Science, Technology and the Arts) has encouraged me in the direction of artistic production to open a broader dialogue with society well beyond narrow areas of specialisation. It has been an enlightening and reassuring experience to hear the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation state recently: “I think that more and more we all understand that innovation in the future will be on the intersection of the arts and sciences. to reiterate acknowledgments (where undoubtely I've still missed to mentiond many) my gratitude goes to all those of you who have encouraged and helped in this journey. best wishes -- Denis Roio a.k.a.
