Algorithmic relations refer to the processes through which algorithmic culture emerges by people establishing and maintaining human-machine connections. It is not enough to ask what algorithmic systems are doing to us; we must also consider what we are doing to algorithms. How are we feeding them with our stories, actions, and affective orientations? This talk engages with ‘the feel of algorithms,’ outlining how the analysis of algorithmic folklore and related emotional responses provides novel perspectives on algorithmic relations. By examining the affective infrastructure of algorithmic culture, we can identify various modes of presence and participation, ranging from enthusiasm and ‘mild paranoia’ to irritation and frustration. The goal is not simply to uncover emotions but to expand the existing domain and methods of social analysis. The enthusiasm, fears, and frustrations suggest a broader argument that calls for appreciating feelings as form-giving social forces that define current algorithmic culture.About Minna RuckensteinMinna Ruckenstein is professor of Emerging Technologies in Society at the University of Helsinki and the founder of the Datafied Life Collaboratory.
