The nomadic subjectivity of the User will create itineraries of materialisation through avatars and digital personas that will bring forward an objectivisation of the individual. They will constitute a forced realisation of the new connected-self, an imposed consequence sprung by the commitment to a specific virtual community. These communal aggregations which will thrive on the Cloud infrastructure, will alienate the individual with the promise of inclusion. By extrapolating the attributes it needs in order to propagate its credo, the community will abstract the User to nothing more than indexed cognition rendered to bits.
This is such a smart observation. What concern me most is the re-subjectivization that will inevitably occur once everything we interact with will be backed by one of these Clouds. What is the role of the human again? Is it relevant? In the midst of this agential chaos where we can find meaningful purposes? Is our human value just a number in some scheme we're not even fully part of?
ReplyDeleteWhy Do we care so much about the human value? My question why we see ourselves so unique? And furthermore what have we done with such uniqueness?
