RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116080940123156050 Oh s***, maybe this is oversimplificating things, but there should be some kind of "are you a human" captcha to be able to push code to open source projects. Or changes made by agents should at least be checked before merged. #opensource #aislop

Happy to share my newest writing «Missing Data as Political Force» with you. While "missing data" is often considered a problem, as in the context of adequate representation, the current authoritarian wave shows that data can offer recognition and oppression.

All of you noticed the democratic decline and the corresponding rise in autocratic regimes in recent years. To better understand and address this issue, my colleagues and I started last fall to look into data on democracy. Throughout this spring semester, the students from the second and fourth semester at Data Design + Art developed data sculptures and interactive installations to visualise a variety of aspects around democracy and put them up to debate. Therefore, I'm really looking fo...
