Haunted by Algorithms is the second part of the project Média médiums and begins with the radical de-centering of cybernetics, detailing the gradual emergence of a continuum where everything is in communication with everything. This unlimited conversation is rooted in the computer's quintessential function of reading and writing data, automating these once human activities, and by doing so, fostering an imaginary of machinic intelligence. But the cerebral promise of this general algorithmisation, as in a feedback loop, casts a new light on the cognitive potential of a large spectrum of formerly behaviorist non-human actors (animals, minerals, plants, fantoms, viruses, etc.) foreshadowing speculative assemblages and information exchanges on multiple planes and scales.

Recherche, exposition et publication
This dialogic free-for-all is at the heart of the Haunted by Algorithms web platform, conceived of as a large, real-time 10000 x 8000 pixel² environment where one can scroll and slide from project to project within the same continuous space without leaving or refreshing the page. While reading the 25 commissioned texts and projects by artists, historians and philosophers that make up the space, one's reading is accompanied by automatic writings, a host of bots which analyse the text, make suggestions, provide references, modify the text, tweet, and so on.
