Computational Invisible Control: Infrastructures / Data / Humans

Our ecosystems (humans included) are embedded in a computational world that extends from the satellites that orbit our planet to the bottom of the oceans, affecting climate, economy, politics and the way we relate to ourselves and others. This round table brings together art, philosophy and sociology to reflect on this reality and debate about the potentialities of digital art as a practice to problematise and open alternatives to our algorithmically controlled society.
