Description
This panel presents five short interventions around the concept of scale as employed and performed through a range of current techno-cultural practices. We will explore: (1) the philosophical import of the notion of scaling and how the schizoanalytical discourse specifically has been challenging some of its basics assumptions; (2) the way in which the collective agency of social entities transforms the technosphere; (3) the consequences of large-scale reorganisations of corporate bureaucratic procedures as they become embedded in code systems; (4) the potential of scholar-led publishing projects to imagine new relationalities for knowledge production; and (5) rebuilding our academic system and the politics of valuation from the bottom-up around the hyperlink.
