Description

In the visual society, pessimistic voices predict a bleak future of human enslavement to algorithms, biological mutation into an undesirable species, and even total extinction. On the other hand, optimistic voices proclaim that we will gradually adapt to technological evolution, enjoying its benefits, or that a new era is dawning for the human species, which, by overcoming biological limitations, will eventually colonize the universe, fulfilling its destiny. Is it possible to remain critical of both the gospel of transhumanists, who envision a humanity liberated and happy thanks to technological evolution, and the dark prophecy of technophobes, that is, the dystopia of a techno-totalitarianism or the complete annihilation of humanity? How might a reflective art of living look when we effortlessly delegate the management of choices and decision-making to algorithms in our daily lives to relieve ourselves of the burden of excessive freedom? The essays in this book aim to describe the current form of visual society and some characteristics of the visual subject as a new human type through the lens of digital humanism. The latter, as a self-knowledge project, explores what constitutes humanity, defending a relative or perhaps the ultimate autonomy of humans both against algorithms and the digital self-image.

    While what he has to say is very interesting, the language used by the author is quite tiring.
