Miyazaki, Shintaro2019-12-092019-12-092019-082213-69400924-6118https://irf.fhnw.ch/handle/11654/30082https://doi.org/10.26041/fhnw-1888This essay critiques the "black-boxing" of many computational processes, which are argued to result in a kind of "unaffordability" of algorithms. By engaging with current theoretical debates on "commoning“ signifying a non-profit-oriented, solidarity-based approach to sharing, maintaining, and disseminating knowledge and experience“ the essay offers a formulation of commonistic affordance in algorithmic contexts. Through the discussion of widely used computational tools such as the Viola-Jones object detection framework, radical steps towards a "making affordable" of algorithms are outlined, and the widespread corporate propertisation of computation processes is contrasted with a speculative vision of algorithmic commoning.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United StatesCommoningAffordanceViola–Jones object detection algorithmPractice-oriented critical media studies01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift269-286
