"The implied answer to algorithmic anxiety is to learn not to desire differentiation in the first place, to simply be satisfied with whatever is placed in front of you. The cultivation of taste is discouraged because taste is inefficient in terms of maximizing engagement." 🧠🙌 🔩

"The feed flows by without the user needing to pay attention to any one thing too closely, since another is always about to load, personalized to some degree by their previous actions. There is nothing to alienate personal taste but also nothing to deeply compel it." 🧲

"This perception that culture is stuck and plagued by sameness is indeed due to the omnipresence of algorithmic feeds. But it’s not that innovation isn’t happening; only in the direction of the feed, encouraging the development of products that serve the structure of digital platforms. The perfect piece of algorithmic culture, after all, is almost intentionally uninteresting." 🪹

"While we have the advantage of freedom of choice, the endless array of options presented by algorithmic feeds often instills a sense of meaninglessness: I could be listening to anything, so why should any one thing be important to me? The constructive relationship between collecting and culture goes in both directions." :clippy:

"Artists have always evaluated their work based on numbers, whether on-air radio plays, movie tickets sold, or museum exhibition attendance. But before Filterworld, creative taste—which is the way that artists evaluate their own work, as much as how consumers evaluate their appreciation of it—has never been so influenced by data and the granular measurement of attention." 📊

"The collector is the only one who decides how to arrange their possessions. That’s not true of our digital cultural interfaces, which tend to change without warning and without record; each redesign erases its previous iterations. This instability only intensifies the cultural flattening going on, since users can’t store or revisit their past experiences within their original context." ⛔

"Building a collection online more closely resembles building a sandcastle on the beach: eventually the tide washes in, and it’s as if it never existed in the first place."

"The shifting sands of digital technology have robbed our collections of their meaning. They appear only as nostalgic ruins, the remains of once-inhabited metropolises gone silent."🌆

"It’s not that great art needs to be inherently offensive; rather, when everything conforms to established expectations, we miss out on culture that is truly progressive and uncomfortable, that might subvert categories rather than fit neatly into them." 🥊

"The hollowed-out meaning of taste in the Filterworld era is similar with the way engagement is measured by digital platforms on provoking immediate like or dislike. Taste’s moral capacity, generally leads an individual toward a better society and better culture, is being lost. Instead, taste amounts to a form of consumerism in which what you buy or watch is the last word on your identity." 🪪

"The algorithmic interface presents itself as a neutral conduit, an open window or, more specifically, an accurate reflection and intensification of your personal taste. Yet it is far from neutral."

"It’s the opposite of the interface’s message of personalization, and the opposite of the cultivation of personal taste, since it’s a manipulation from the start." :BlobhajShock:

"It might also be accurate to describe Filterworld as dictatorial or feudal: we all reside online within spaces we have no power over, following capricious rules that we don’t approve." 🥺

"The rule of culture in Filterworld is: Go viral or die. The bounds of aesthetic acceptability become tighter and tighter until all that’s left is a column in the middle. While popular styles shift, like moving targets, the centralization and normalization persist." :blobpeek:

"Taste is inescapable; it involves “the most everyday choices of everyday life, in cooking, clothing, or decoration,” the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu wrote in his 1984 book Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste. These choices can be symbolic of a range of things beyond just our aesthetic preferences, such as economic class, political ideology, and social identity."🧐

"Taste can feel more like a cause for concern than a source of personal fulfillment. A selection made based on your own personal taste might be embarrassing if it unwittingly clashes with the norms of the situation at hand."🫣

"As taste requires surprise, it also thrives on challenge and risk, treading too far in a particular direction. Safety may avoid embarrassment, but it’s also boring."😒

"Building your own sense of taste, that set of subconscious principles by which you identify what you like, is an uphill battle compared to passively consuming whatever content feeds deliver to you. Today we access more cultural options than ever on demand. We are free to choose anything, which may be based on the aggregate actions of humans but are not human in themselves." 🧠

"Taste borders on morality, representing an innate sense of what is good in the world."

"Taste goes beyond superficial observation, beyond identifying something as “cool.” Taste requires experiencing the creation in its entirety and evaluating one’s own authentic emotional response to it, parsing its effect. (Taste is not passive; it requires effort.)"

"The effect goes back to the Mechanical Turk; we can’t always tell the difference between technology working and the illusion of technology working, but the perception may be just as impactful, in the end, as the reality."

"Monopolistic growth is more important to these entities than the quality of user experience and certainly more important than the equitable distribution of culture through the services’ feeds. (A digital platform has none of the curatorial responsibility of, say, an art museum.)"

"The ambiguity of algorithmic influence creates a feeling that has been labeled 'algorithmic anxiety'... describes the burgeoning awareness that we must constantly contend with automated technological processes beyond our understanding and control... forever anticipating and second-guessing the decisions that algorithms make. It is not hypothetical or an abstraction: It’s already prevalent."

"With new technology, the miraculous quickly becomes mundane, any glitch in its function is felt as bothersome, and finally it becomes ignorable, the miracle forsaken."

"Where Project Cybersyn suggested that the world run by data might be coherent and graspable, contained within a room, we now know that it is abstract and diffuse, everywhere and nowhere at once. We’re encouraged to forget the presence of algorithms."

"Still, no matter how complex, an algorithm remains in its essence an equation: a method to arrive at a desired conclusion. All algorithms are engines of automation, and, as Ada Lovelace predicted, automation has now moved into many facets of our lives beyond pure mathematics."

"Whether visual art, music, film, literature, or choreography, algorithmic recommendations and the feeds that they populate mediate our relationship to culture, guiding our attention toward the things that fit best within the structures of digital platforms."
