Digital Autonomia
Julia Nueno Guitart
Current
My research explores agency and collectivity under data-based decision-making, focusing on digital and platform labour. I investigate the ways in which management algorithms, underpinned by data extraction, mathematical modelling, and surveillance technologies, become mediums for exploitation, and disposession. My approach unfolds from two distinct instances: firstly, demystifying the property regimes and aesthetic processes that delimit and abstract knowledge, and skills; secondly, investigating workers’ experiences of solidarity, uncomputable knowledge and high-tech luddism that combine to resist precarisation of labour and new forms of subordination. In turn, my proposal is both critical and an invitation to subversion: in a data-dense environment, can labourers optimise algorithms to switch their allegiance? Can instances of resistance be woven into forms of digital organising?
