The cumulative logics of digital information systems, and their social, pollical, and economic applications have trended towards collecting and aggregating vast troves of data. Aligning with this capacity for data collection is a generative tendency weighted towards another data point – "engagement" – based on human action of shares, views, likes. Layered at all levels are private, state, and not-state actors leveraging social data feeds with algorithms and machine learning to shape social meanings, motivate action, and produce immaterial or material value. At this conference we want to ask:
What might be an existential challenge for the informational foundations for future technological futures based on digital tools and social data? Who we trust as the interface of this data has deep ramifications for the framing the direction of discourses, our understandings of each other, of knowledge, and our place ecological realties?
