Abstract (in English):
These projects ultimately portray a bleak picture of a metainterface industrial control of literacy and of how literature, art and aesthetics is commodified and instrumentalized. However, they also point to how literature potentially becomes sites of critical reflection of the way reading-writing is encased in a big data drama. In this way, they point towards redesigning and rewriting the metainterface character.
Pull Quotes:
"Grosser’s works show how Facebook’s metrification parasites on affective social dimensions, such as relations between an I and a You (You like...), emotive reactions (Go Rando) and social activity and status (Facebook Demetricator)."
