Ulrik Ekman discusses the (assumed) democratic potential of
digital technology and social media, the haunting of Turing’s
ghost, the third wave of computing as its extension into
the social and human environment and externalization of
psychological individuation in techniques. He talks about the
role of algorithms as means of personalization and foreclosure,
the affirmative and subversive energy of surveillance art, the
transdisciplinary call of media literacy and the ‘interpellative’
aspect of participatory culture
