Transparency and hypercapitalism

Résumé 0

In the 18th century, Bentham imagined a prison wherein the inmates would be watched over by an all-seeing guardian. In our digital panopticon, we no longer are mere inmates: we actively participate in its making. And nobody seems to mind. Not so long ago, in Germany, people took the streets against a State-sponsored census. Now we spontaneously share our data with the apparatuses of capture set in place by and for hypercapitalism.
