Antoinette Rouvroy on Algorithmic Governmentality
Future Histories International
The Disorganization of Metrics
Foucault's idea that power is always based and co-produced with knowledge is completely exploded. In algorithmic governmentality even metrics have become increasingly plastic, not fixed but evolving according to the behaviors of all others. This shift from modernist normativity towards recursive plasticity of normativity can appear really emancipatory but it is paid for by people who are addicted to credit.
