What is Algorithmic Culture?

• Algorithmic culture is the historical process through which computational processes are used to organise human culture.

• Ted Striphas argues that over the last 30 years human beings have been delegating the work of culture increasingly to computational processes.

• Cultures are, in some fundamental ways, systems of judgment and decision making.

In simple words

Refers to the ways in which the logic of big data and large scale computation (including algorithms) alters they culture is practiced, experienced and understood.

“What one sees in Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix and many others, is the enfolding of human thought, conduct, organization and expression into the logic of big data and large-scale computation, a move that alters how the category culture has long been practiced.
