Biopower & data In her book BioMachtData, Sophie Reyer looks at
data and the phenomenon of "dataism," the homage paid to the
unlimited flow of data. She describes "dataism" as a theory that
has evolved into a veritable religion, yielding not only prophecies
but also commandments, such as "Increase the flow of data!" Which
means, in essence, "Consume and produce!" In the process, humanity
recedes into the background, and the free flow or even flood of
information becomes the new value. Based on Michel Foucault's
concept of biopower, Reyer develops artistic-philosophical
approaches in words and verbal images - in the form of essays,
monologues, dialogues, and theatrical fragments. She examines
various figures of dataism, from incels to nerds and heroines. A
linguistic-artistic and philosophical examination of biopower in
times of unlimited data flow From data to "dataism" - in essays,
experimental texts, and images A new book by Sophie Reyer,
following on from the publication BioMachtTheater (2020)
