TITLE:

FROM PUNISHMENT TO CONTROL: SOCIO-TECHNICAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND ALGORITHMIC MEDIATIONS IN DIGITAL IMAGES – AN ANALYSIS ABOUT GOOGLE PHOTOS

KEY WORDS:

images, algorithms, technology, control

PAGES: 142
BIG AREA: Ciências Sociais Aplicadas
AREA: Comunicação
SUMMARY:

This research approachs the performance of technology through artificial intelligence in the automated curation procedure of visual information, within a socio-technical perspective of dispute and control. Thus, this master thesis aims to understand the perspectives related to these transformations, in order to establish a parallel between the paradigms that go through photography from its emergence to the complex system of agencies that act on it in contemporary times. It aims to reflect on technological development and the capacity for learning and proposition within the scope of audiovisualities on a non-strictly technical level, considering power arrangements. In order to clarify these articulations, we support the Foucauldian theoretical models of disciplinary society by explaining the instances related to analog images at the time of their appearance and the implications of algorithmic operations in digital images that can be approached to the statements of the society of control elaborated by Deleuze. Concerning the algorithmic capacity and proposition, our research corpus was Google Photos in the period from january to november 2020, through an excavation foray, as representative of a program that intervenes in proposing content, selecting, organizing, categorizing and discard users' personal images. The issues of surveillance, data extraction, performativity in relation to the the images were discussed in order to problematize the logics that goes through the modus operandi of the automatic machines related to the visual information mediated by platforms. In this way, we aim to contribute with reflections about emerging issues imbricated in algorithmic experiments and their interaction with images.
