Overview
Biopower & data
In her book BioMachtData, Sophie Reyer looks at data and the phenomenon of "dataism," the homage paid to the unlimited flow of data. She describes "dataism" as a theory that has evolved into a veritable religion, yielding not only prophecies but also commandments, such as "Increase the flow of data " Which means, in essence, "Consume and produce " In the process, humanity recedes into the background, and the free flow or even flood of information becomes the new value.
Based on Michel Foucault's concept of biopower, Reyer develops artistic-philosophical approaches in words and verbal images - in the form of essays, monologues, dialogues, and theatrical fragments. She examines various figures of dataism, from incels to nerds and heroines.
