Biomedia data in the hands of political powers. Applications, databases and biometrics

Abstracts

EN

In this brief media study the author explores supervision and control practices implemented through digital media by referring to anthropology of media and theory of biopolitics. The text focuses on algorithmized, software-based biometrics and the resulting databases, and it looks into scenarios of political and consumer control and supervision. The theoretical context for these reflections is discussed with respect to the post-media situation which results in biomedia practices, digital media placed close to human body and its organic sensorium (particularly, the face) as well as reconstructions of cultural codes that are attributed to human body and its vital functions. In his analysis the author refers to mobile applications and their software systems, while pointing to social practices that begin to develop around them.
