Pontos sem nós: o controle do acaso na era da algoritmização da vida e da hiperespetacularização da realidade

Abstract

A throw of the dice never will abolish chance, or aren’t datification and algorithmization challenging exactly the margin of indeterminacy of life itself, as a machine for inventing new realities? Contemporary forms of power and control (quantification and spectacularization) plot against informational biodiversity and difference, based on quality, intensity and human emotion itself. This article characterizes and exemplifies the phenomenon through the current stage of the society of the spectacle, defined by the union between hype and algorithm, in a kind of emotional biometrics (coding of emotions).
