Abstract

The twenty-first century has witnessed the beginning of a historic milestone where algorithms that had been the preserve of the sacred worlds of mathematics, computing, and engineering, have become the most dominant in establishing the presence of the human-being. The socio-cultural context, in which everyday activities, opinions, and even concepts are more and more aided by automated examples of the data processing, can be defined as algorithmic culture. They are not typical technical actions, but very political and ideological actions. Algorithms of the algorithmic mediated world pattern issues of visibility, representation and value on the obfuscated code and proprietary systems. It objectifies the interface of computational systems and cultural practices: how human practices inter-mediating and intermediated by algorithms. Notably, it acknowledges that algorithms represent the social, political and economic entitlement of the people who develop, implement and control them.
