Code is intended both as a computer-based language to program
software and as a functional and visual language for organizing
administrative processes, visualizing information, performing
behaviour control, and reinforcing shared imaginaries based on
surveillance and dread. This special issue of Digital Culture &
Society deals with the concept of code in relation to the Covid-19
crisis. The contributions depart from the idea that both forms of
coding have become dramatically intertwined during the pandemic and
are structuring a new way of being in and seeing reality. They
explore the new forms of data-driven surveillance and
representation of the pandemic evolution at the level of real-time
epidemiology, sensor technologies, science policies, push media,
and the heterogeneous counter-discourses that try to subvert them.
Capturing personal data in exchange for free services is now
ubiquitous in networked media and recently led to diagnoses of
surveillance and platform capitalism. In social media discourse,
dataveillance and data mining have been criticized as new forms of
digital work and capitalist exploitation for some time. From social
photos, selfies and image communities on the internet to connected
viewing and streaming, and video conferencing during the Corona
pandemic - the digital image is not only predominantly networked
but also accessed through platforms and structured by their
economic imperatives, data acquisition techniques and algorithmic
processing. In this issue, the contributors show how participation
and commodification are closely linked in the production,
circulation, consumption and operativity of images and visual
communication, raising the question of the role networked images
play for and within the proliferating surveillance capitalism.
Digital Culture & Society is a refereed, international journal,
fostering discussion about the ways in which digital technologies,
platforms and applications reconfigure daily lives and practices.
It offers a forum for inquiries into digital media theory,
methodologies, and socio-technological developments. The fourth
issue "Making and Hacking" sheds light on the communities and
spaces of hackers, makers, DIY enthusiasts, and 'fabbers'.
Academics, artists, and hackerspace members examine the meanings
and entanglements of maker and hacker cultures - from conceptual,
methodological as well as empirical perspectives. With
contributions by Sabine Hielscher, Jeremy Hunsinger, Kat
Braybrooke, Tim Jordan, among others, and an interview with
Sebastian Kubitschko.

It offers a forum for inquiries into digital media theory,
methodologies, and socio-technological developments. This issue
shows: The meaning of AI has undergone drastic changes during the
last 60 years of AI discourse(s). What we talk about when saying AI
is not what it meant in 1958, when John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky and
their colleagues started using the term. Biological information
processing is now firmly embedded in commercial applications like
the intelligent personal Google Assistant, Facebook's facial
recognition algorithm, Deep Face, Amazon's device Alexa or Apple's
software feature Siri to mention just a few.

platforms and applications reconfigure daily lives and practices.
It offers a forum for critical analysis and inquiries into digital
media theory and provides a publication environment for
interdisciplinary research approaches, contemporary theory
developments and methodological innovation. The second issue
"Quantified Selves | Statistical Bodies" provides methodological
and theoretical reflections on technologically generated knowledge
about the body and socio-cultural practices that are subsumed,
discussed, and criticized using the key concept "Quantified Self".

journal, fostering discussion about the ways in which digital
technologies, platforms and applications reconfigure daily lives

inquiries into digital media theory and provides a publication
environment for interdisciplinary research approaches, contemporary
theory developments and methodological innovation. This issue,
edited by Anna Lisa Ramella, Asko Lehmuskallio, Tristan Thielmann
and Pablo Abend, discusses the mobility of people, data and devices
from the perspective of digital mobile practices. As the authors of
various empirical case studies show, these need to be studied both
situationally, and on the move. With contributions by Marion
Schulze, Jamie Coates, Geoffrey Hobbis, Samuel Gerald Collins,
among others, and an interview with Heather Horst, David Morley,
and Noel B. Salazar.

"Politics of Big Data" edited by Mark Cote, Paolo Gerbaudo, and
Jennifer Pybus, critically examines the political and economic
dimensions of Big Data and thus details its contestation. The
contributions focus on the materialities and processes which
manifest Big Data and explore forms of value beyond the state and
capital. These range from open data initiatives, social media
metrics, machine learning algorithms, data visualisation to data
dashboards, critical data analysis, and new modes of data action
research and practice.

issue discusses theoretical and artistic investigations on citizen
engagement, digital citizenship and grassroots information
politics. The articles reflect on the role of the digital citizen
from the perspectives of (digital) sociology, science, technology
and society (STS), (digital) media studies, cultural studies,
political sciences, and philosophy.

technologies, platforms and applications reconfigure daily lives
and practices. It offers a forum for critical analysis and inquiry
into digital media theory. The journal provides a venue for
publication for interdisciplinary research approaches, contemporary
theory developments and methodological innovation in digital media
studies. It invites reflection on how culture unfolds through the
use of digital technology, and how it conversely influences the
development of digital technology itself. The inaugural issue
"Digital Material/ism" presents methodological and theoretical
insights into digital materiality and materialism.
