The authors explore how algorithms shape experiences of truth in Costa Rica, analyzing "factishes"—data, affect, and mysticism—through ethnographic stories and a novel "ventriloquist" approach.🤖

Our latest paper, co-authored with @fer_salas1 & @silviowaisbord, examines how migrants navigate information precarity and disinformation on their journey to the US-Mexico border. We explore how sociocultural beliefs shape their experiences and decisions.

How do algorithms shape the experience of facts? In this article, just published in @TapuyaLASTS, we explore the role of algorithms in mediating three kinds of “factishes”: data truths, affective facts, and mystic revelations. w/ @Imagenaciones+@rmnzgnzlz

The article unfolds as a series of stories that capture interactions between Costa Ricans and the algorithms of social media platforms. We argue that algorithms enable individuals to navigate composite realities rather than merely conflating truth and fiction.

Gracias a @amidi_com por la invitación a conversar y por un diálogo tan enriquecedor para mí. 🙏🏾
¿Existe una domesticación mutua al relacionarnos, como personas usuarias, con los #algoritmos? ¿Cómo estudiarla?
En el nuevo episodio de #AMIMeImporta charlamos sobre esto con Ignacio Siles, autor de «Vivir con algoritmos: plataformas digitales y cultura en Costa Rica». 👇

Much has been said about TikTok changing the music industry. Our new paper, out today in @IJoC_USC, dives into this transformation. We empirically analyze how users discover, explore, and integrate music from TikTok and other platforms into their lives: ijoc.org/index.php/ijoc/arti…

We use this case to explore broader dynamics at the heart of how people interact with platforms: the reflexive relationship with algorithms in daily life, how platform affordances align with cultural consumption patterns, and the intricate interconnections across various apps.

@isiles propone reflexionar sobre los algoritmos desde la domesticación mutua: los algoritmos están diseñados para convertir a las personas en consumidores ideales; los usuarios promulgan recomendaciones algorítmicas de formas particulares a medida que las incorporan a su vida

Grateful to Mónica Humeres for her insightful review of "Living with Algorithms" in Technology and Culture, and how the book "makes us consider that the appropriation of algorithms is built on the depths of our desire for connection": muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/article/9…
