Following my essay I was quite interested in the idea of how implicit participation makes use of design choices to benefit from user generated content, thus contributing to information management systems which can be exploited for improving information retrieval/market research. In order for this process to be optimized, production of social relations becomes the new paradigm under post-industrialist market rule, for it is communication which produces economic value. Immaterial labor, then, both satisfies and produces a demand, ultimately forming subjectivity.
Inspired by this idea, I'm experimenting with posting my browsing history on social media, which will ultimately start suggesting me people I might "like" to follow, pages I "might" like, subsequentely leading me to browse new links and so on and so forth. The idea is that, at some point, I'll stop having agency, playing the idea of a hetero-generative subjectivity to the extreme.
The goal with this process (more than a project) is not to prove that my information is being tracked, which is now a more than well-known fact, but rather to explore the informational paths which inform subjectivity everyday, trying to analyze patterns and derive conclusions as to which factors contribute the most for this construction.

Seeing that Twitter's interface is not the best for posting pictures, I decided to only post them on Facebook.
