Digital Democracy

An essay on the transition from citizenship to “usership” — the way participation in contemporary society increasingly happens through digital platforms governed by private tech companies rather than democratic constitutions. Accompanied by a photographic series documenting the word “digital” in public spaces in Colombia, the text reflects on how we naively risk our democratic freedoms in exchange for algorithmic convenience. Published in German in 39 Null, Freiheit, 2019.
