''Lai Yi Ohlsen''

Lai Yi Ohlsen’s essay Β«How Tall is the Internet?Β» explores the complexities of measuring the internet’s performance and accessibility. It delves into methodologies, the subjective nature of metrics, and the socio-political implications of digital divides and internet shutdowns.
An interesting read on how visual media and social media engagement contribute to the construction and circulation of "data doubles," representations of individuals generated through pervasive surveillance technologies, and examines how media artists reflect on this phenomenon and its implications in the context of surveillance capitalism.

All Watched Over by Our Data Double
