Quantified-Me
“This Wiki is tries to summarise notes and critical ressources about current processes at stake in the current augmentation of Body Quantification in contemporary networks. […] ”
Introduction
Through a complete referential of the quantified self vocabulary, its project and its participant, the task is to unveil the technological processes in the quantified self movement and look in the ways by which it systematically organises a new, social reference, a new body language ; or otherwise formulated : Can quantified self as a cultural technique, a Kulturtechniken, impact the social sense of self integrity.
The research will examine uses and modalities of social integrations they are most of the time linked to an online platform from different sources :
- Commercial platforms such as the sport gear.
- Mobile applications that use embedded sensory devices.
- Social platforms as the quantified self .
It will look at the uses of those features and the choices but mostly it will examine the vocabulary and social patterns that drive those exchanges and the way it formats a relation to the body.
