In my essay I would like to discuss control in the age of information

  • Performativity of code -> changes in computer -> changes in our lives (K.Hayles)
  • Code as a mediator between humans ans machines (K.Hayles)
  • Our blind belief in code

* the role of ambiguity - whereas it was seen before w/ suspicion - it became a tool of control/of production (M.Fuller, A.Goffrey) Change from hard control (M.Foucault) to soft control mechanisms (M.Poster)
