Post-Privacy or the Politics of Labour, Intelligence and Information

Submitted by Armin Medosch on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 15:07

This text argues that the erosion of privacy is not a by-product of information and communication technologies, but a systemic property of informational capitalism. The foundational myths of the information society motivate and legitimise the building of control systems applying probabilistic techniques to control future risks. At the root of this configuration are antagonistic labour relationships which have determined the path of technological development since the Industrial Revolution. Those tendencies have reached a culmination in the recent neo-liberal crisis. The digital commons offers itself as an incomplete and tentative remedy.

Das Private und die Vorratsdaten
Einleitend stellten die Moderatoren Ina Zwerger und Armin Medosch am Donnerstag in der Linzer Kunstuniversität die klassische Vorstellung von der Privatsphäre als Voraussetzung für eine kritische demokratische Öffentlichkeit zur Diskussion.
