By accident, a fraction of light captures an invisible but emblematic scene. Below the threshold of perception, technocapitalism approximates data to the ubiquitous gaze of algorithmic governance, exploiting categories of proximity and distance, work and leisure, intimacy and public for behavioural indices. Well above the surface, exposure turns into revelation as the apparatus performs a mirror image of urban platformism’s contingent resolution.
