Facebook Algorithmic Factory

Vladan Joler (RS)

Facebook Algorithmic Factory sheds light on the invisible processes that take place inside the world’s largest social network. Inside this black box, non-transparent algorithms are deciding what kind of content will become a part of our reality, what will be censored or deleted, which ideas will spread and what news will gain most visibility. They are also defining new forms of labour and exploitation.

Wiki-Piano.Net

Alexander Schubert (DE)

Wiki-Piano.Net is a composition for piano that can be co-designed by internet users. Everything that the community has made available on the website will be performed on stage. This can be not only music, but also texts, images, or other content. For the musical realization of this score, the performing pianist has piano, keyboard, and his own voice at his disposal. It is not possible to study and practice this composition in the classical sense, but it is not the masterpiece either that is in the foreground of this project. Rather, it is a matter of continuous observation and playful exploration of community behavior and internet use.
