Description

Syndesmos (σύνδεσμος) is a Greek word that combines "syn" (σύν) meaning "together" and "desmos" (δέσμος) meaning "link" or "connection". In this context, Syndesmos refers to the concept of digital tropism, emphasizing the interconnected nature of our online experiences and their impact on our understanding of self, others and the world. interconnectivity is considered a key factor of digital tropism: Through Network Effects: The more people and devices are connected, the more influential the network becomes, shaping our behaviors and preferences. Data Flow: The constant exchange of data between devices, platforms and systems creates a vast interconnected network of information that informs and influences our online experiences. 3.Algorithmic amplification: Algorithms, which are often designed to optimize engagement and attention, amplify certain voices, ideas and behaviors, further shaping our online interactions and perceptions. 4.Echo chambers and filter bubbles: The interconnected nature of online platforms can create “echo chambers” and “filter bubbles,” in which we are only exposed to information that confirms our beliefs and opinions. existing prejudices. The concept of “Syndesmos” is closely related to the idea of “complexity theory,” which studies the behavior of complex systems and networks. In the context of digital tropism, complexity theory helps us understand how the interconnectivity of digital systems can lead to emergent properties and behaviors that are difficult to predict or control. Some key thinkers and theories that have influenced our understanding of interconnectivity and digital tropism include: Manuel Castells: A sociologist who has written extensively about the impact of networked societies on our lives and cultures. Mark Granovetter: A sociologist who explored the concept of “weak ties” and their role in shaping social networks and behaviors. Niklas Luhmann: A sociologist who developed social systems theory, which examines the interactions and interdependencies between different social systems. By examining the interconnectivity of digital systems and their impact on our lives, we can better understand the mechanisms behind digital tropism and its effects on our individual and collective behaviors. In this context, Syndesmos refers to the concept of digital tropism, emphasizing the interconnected nature of our online experiences and their impact on our understanding of self, others and the world. 2142 x 2598 / mp4 / 74,3 Mo / 44 s / 12 frames 1/1 collection 18/30 #FEPUM « Fix Eye Perpetual Uncontrolled Movement» a subrealist reread based on the masterpiece : The Man Made Mad with Fear - Gustave Courbet (1819–1877) on view at : National Museum of Norway
