Becoming Platform: Disruption, Masculinity, and Infrastructure
My contribution is a theoretical conceptualization of the platform as a disruptive figure - not only in the infrastructural turn towards what scholars have defined as the “platformisation” (Poell, Nieborg & Van Dijk, 2019) of a diverse range of industries, but also as a political metaphor and a vector for social identification. My main focus is on the rise of powerful, hypermasculine figures like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Joe Rogan, who notabl…
Meta’s artistic turn: AR face filters, platform art, and the actually existing metaverse
This paper approaches the emergence of ‘metaverses’ as inherently tied to the platformisation of identity ushered in by social media. I focus on Meta’s reliance on the performative engagement of users in their digital personas, retained by company investment in socially networked, aesthetically immersive techno-cultural formats like augmented reality (AR) face filters. Drawing from interviews with four artists who have worked with AR face filters…
Platforming the Joe Rogan Experience: Cancel Culture, Comedy, and Infrastructure
This paper outlines a cultural critique of the Joe Rogan Experience. Framing the podcast as an adaptive cultural platform, I emphasize how it is ideologically informed by both the established infrastructure and dynamics of communicative capitalism and Joe Rogan’s ethos as a comedian. The paper discusses three ways Joe Rogan and his format negotiate their relationship with platform infrastructures. The first is Rogan’s relationship with Spotify an…
Machine Vision and Tagging Aesthetics: Assembling Socio-Technical Subjects through New Media Art
This paper builds on the concept of 'tagging aesthetics' (Bozzi, 2020b) to discuss new media art projects that combine machine vision and social media to address how different kinds of socio-technical subjects are assembled through AI. The premise outlines how the naturalisation of machine vision involves a range of subjects, juxtaposed along different conflictual lines: ontological (human-machine), biopolitical (classifier-classified), socio-tec…
Tactics of interfacing: Encoding affect in art and technology
Digitalnomads, #Solotravellers, #Remoteworkers: A Cultural Critique of the Traveling Entrepreneur on Instagram
As opposed to traditional nomads, backpackers, or tourists, digital nomads are defined as Internet-enabled remote workers, who maintain a focus on connectivity and productivity even in leisure. This essay discusses the relationship between Instagram and the digital nomad from a theoretical perspective, proposing a critique of the aesthetics and urban politics that underlie this figure. Inspired by recent theories that combine geopolitical and tec…
