Paolo Cirio creates conceptual art that critically examines the power of information in society. His work analyzes how information impacts social structures, the economy, knowledge, identity, and more in the digital age. Through techniques like appropriating and exposing sensitive information, Cirio's art aims to reveal new meanings, make contradictions apparent, and dispute the processes of normative systems. Ultimately, his goal is to pursue these aims through creative works that inform and engage the public on important issues around the control, distribution, and ethics of information.

Slides on the Aesthetics of the Information Ethics
The document discusses various issues at the intersection of art, ethics and information systems. It argues that art has a role to play in raising awareness and facilitating reflection on difficult ethical questions posed by technologies like the internet, algorithms and data collection. It notes that information systems are social systems that produce new social conditions and reshape social contracts. The aesthetics of representing such systems through art must thoughtfully engage with how representations form polarities and influence cultural understandings. Context is key to assessing the ethics of different artistic practices and techniques in this space. Breaking down misleading polarizations is important for promoting a nuanced understanding of complex issues in information ethics.

The document discusses culture and its application to international marketing and website design based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions. It defines culture and explains that international marketers should consider factors like geography, history, and social institutions when adapting to new cultures. The document then analyzes Hofstede's dimensions of individualism vs. collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity vs. femininity. It provides examples of design adaptations for different cultures along these dimensions, such as using images of groups for collectivist cultures and independence images for individualist cultures. At the end, it prompts analyzing an Egyptian

The document discusses several topics:
- Cultural diplomacy refers to using culture and ideas to foster mutual understanding between groups.
- User experience design focuses on making technology intuitive and satisfying to use.
- Cybernetics studies how information is processed and reacted to through feedback loops in systems.
- These fields are interrelated, as cultural diplomacy considers socio-political contexts, user experience examines cognitive acceptance and unique behaviors emerging from systems, and cybernetics provides frameworks to analyze and adjust strategic communication of information.
Technological Determinism
McLuhan was a media theorist who believed that media are extensions of human senses and faculties. His most famous work explored how the characteristics of different media shape society. Technological determinism asserts that a society's technology drives cultural and social changes. The movie Inception depicts dreams as extensions of the subconscious mind. Advanced technology allows people to share and explore dreams on deeper levels. Totems help distinguish reality from dreams, while projections are extensions of the subconscious that respond violently if threatened. The film shows how technology can be used to overcome limitations like death but may also risk becoming trapped in endless dreams.
Technological Determinism
This lecture looks at Determinism and Technological Determinism. This lecture is part of the Media and Cultural Theories module on the MSc and MA in Creative Technology and Creative Games at The University of Salford.
Technological determinism theory powerpoint
Technological determinism is a theory that technology drives social and cultural change in predictable ways. It argues that (1) technology develops along an inevitable path independent of human influence, and (2) the introduction of new technologies causes inherent social effects as societies reorganize around the new technologies. Individual interpretations vary but share the ideas that technology determines history and progress through its innovations, which societies cannot control and must adapt to.

Extended abstract
This document summarizes challenges and reflections on information, knowledge, and wisdom societies and sociotechnical systems. It discusses how human organizations are living systems that should be analyzed as such, and how human and technological interactions drastically affect relationships. It also notes that tacit knowledge is embodied in people's heads, and their ability to utilize knowledge generates new knowledge. Therefore, a knowledge society cannot be discussed without considering these interactions. Additionally, it questions who or what will drive innovations in this new era, and whether political leaders are considering the impacts of sociotechnical systems on innovation processes.

Slides - Paolo Cirio's Artworks - Art Performances with Information's Power -
Paolo Cirio is a conceptual artist who explores how information distribution, organization, and control impact society. His works involve hacking information technologies, marketing languages, legal terms, art, and popular culture to reconfigure information asymmetries and sculpt information as a raw material. By manipulating language, messages, and media, Cirio stages provocative performances and interventions that highlight different strategies for using the power of information to enact informational realities and shape new narratives.
Internet Semiotics
Paolo Cirio created the artwork "Meaning" to illustrate his theory of Internet Semiotics through three flowcharts and an essay. His theory analyzes how meaning is formed on the Internet through the production, reception, and alteration of information circulating on social networks. It examines this process on personal, contextual and collective levels. On a personal level, meaning formation splits between private self-identity and public opinion. Context, such as time and location of information online, also shapes meaning. Collectively, meanings can converge or diverge, potentially unifying groups or generating conflict through asymmetric power structures. The theory integrates semiotic principles to understand modern social meaning construction through networked communication.
La Cura Summer School - Introduction
This document discusses the interconnected nature of health, society, arts, science and technology. It argues that we cannot be cured of illnesses like cancer alone, but require collaboration across different fields and groups. The artist is seen as playing an important role in bridging divides and helping society understand complex issues. The rest of the document outlines plans to create augmented sensory art installations that explore themes of an interconnected body and society using data streams. The goal is to help confront health and other complex social issues in networked, complex ways.
Summary Communication Theory
This document provides an overview of communication theory and symbolic interactionism. It discusses what constitutes a good theory and examines different images of theory. A good theory goes beyond accepted wisdom to offer explanations. Additionally, a theory should consist of interconnected concepts that shape perception and behavior. Symbolic interactionism holds that people act based on the meanings and interpretations they assign to people, things, and events through social interactions and language. George Herbert Mead was influential in developing this perspective, which was further advanced by his student Herbert Blumer through the term "symbolic interactionism."
Week 5 Presentation on Deuze
The document discusses key concepts in digital culture including participation, remediation, and bricolage. It outlines paradigm shifts from print to online media, including moving from a linear, hierarchical structure to multivocal networks. Digital culture involves the values and practices users create online and offline. The document also discusses Jean Baudrillard's three types of simulacra and how culture is now focused on recombining past media forms. Participation involves users becoming active in meaning making. Remediation describes the constant remixing of older and newer media forms. Bricolage legitimizes borrowing and hybridity to create new meanings.

Science, Technology, and Society (STS) is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationship between science, technology, and society. It studies how science and technology influence society, which can be both positively and negatively, and how society incorporates and reacts to scientific and technological changes. STS explores the cultural roots of today's techno-scientific society and addresses important public policy issues related to science and technology.
Reflection on Humanism, Citizenship, and the Digital Society (from Theory to ...
ABSTRACT:We do not intend to deal exhaustively with this subject, because it is broad and complex for the space of a
text. Our pretensions, which are much more modest, refer to documentary research for the understanding and development of
humanist thought and citizenship, and some of their multiple relationships.
Humanism was a movement that emerged in Italy during the Renaissance. It marked a move away from the medieval
emphasis on logic and theology, and led to the rediscovery of ancient texts, the advancement of scholarship, and the
transformation of art, culture, and society. The article analyzes the central ideas of Humanism, such as the importance of
human dignity, individuality and learning, and demonstrates how they have influenced various domains. Humanism is a key
concept in the history of human thought. There are several definitions of the concept ranging from rhetorical humanism, to the Christian
humanism of the Middle Ages, and from the literary humanism of the Renaissance, to the humanism of Compte. There are several
approaches to the relationship between humanism and religion.
Humanism in the age of globalization may be an elaborate form of humanism capable of crossing the boundaries between
the world's civilizations and overthrowing their hostile ways. Intercultural humanism must evolve as a result of the global
debate. Intercultural humanism can replace the current humanism, and thus confront and overcome the many tensions and
conflicts that exist between the world's divergent civilizations.

The social networks and the new social order between the individualized socia...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
This document summarizes an empirical study on how social networks have impacted social order in Morocco. It finds that social networks have led to both individualized socialization, as people can connect virtually without facing social barriers, and socialized individualism, as networks allow people to publicly share aspects of their personal lives. Specifically, networks are changing concepts of friendship and enabling new forms of courtship and relationship building while also potentially undermining traditional values. However, networks may also risk increasing isolation and replacing real-world social bonds with superficial online connections. The study is based on surveys of over 500 Moroccans exploring how social networks influence their lives and relationships.ย
Cyberanthropology
This document describes a research project called CyberAnthropology that aims to analyze how the internet impacts human beings and societies from an interdisciplinary perspective. The project brings together anthropological, philosophical, sociological, political and legal questions to understand how humans understand themselves and structure their lives in virtual environments. Previous research has either taken an abstract media philosophy approach or focused on empirical user behavior studies, without developing a broader theoretical framework. The project seeks to fill this gap by developing a systematic theory of CyberAnthropology to examine changes in people's lifeworlds and new forms of participation online from multiple disciplinary lenses.
Extended abstract
This document discusses challenges and reflections related to information, knowledge, and wisdom societies and sociotechnical systems. It argues that human organizations are living systems that should be analyzed as such, and that their interactions with technology drastically affect human relationships. It also argues that beyond economic, organizational, cultural and technological dimensions, the specific sociotechnical context characterizes knowledge societies driven by the internet in an ubiquitous and collaborative manner. However, traditional management opposition persists as sociotechnical systems enable collaborative decision making and shared leadership instead of top-down control of information. The document questions who or what will drive innovations in this new era and what impact the sociotechnical system could have on innovation processes.
Why a profession needs a discipline
This document discusses the information professions and how they are affected by the information society. It addresses commonalities between information professions and examines how they may evolve. Specifically, it explores how information work can be better explained as a discipline through developing a theoretical framework describing its knowledge domain. This would help establish a metacommunity of information professionals with conceptual clarity around their social purpose and responsibilities. The document argues that a profession requires both a disciplinary theoretical base and a clear social role to distinguish it from other occupations.
Social Dimension of Science and Technology.pptx
This document discusses the relationship between science, technology, and society/culture from various perspectives. It defines key concepts like society, culture, science, and technology. Frameworks like symbolic interactionism, functionalism, and conflict theory are used to analyze how science and technology relate to society and culture. The diversity of these relationships across different cultures and time periods is also described. Technological determinism and social construction of technology perspectives on the science-technology-society relationship are introduced.
Lesson 1_Introduction to Science, and Technology and Society.pdf
Science, technology, and society (STS) examines how science and technology influence society. STS is an interdisciplinary field that draws from the history, philosophy, anthropology and sociology of science and technology. Science seeks to understand the natural world through theories, principles and laws developed through observation and experimentation. Technology applies scientific knowledge to develop tools and techniques to solve problems and make tasks easier. Society consists of groups of people living together with shared rules and resources. STS analyzes how society reacts to and incorporates scientific and technological developments.
English Presentation
The document discusses the role of art in promoting social transformation and equity in Latin America. It argues that art can be used as a tool for social participation and influencing public space. The Latin American Network for Art and Social Transformation (The Net) works with underprivileged communities, using art both as a means and an end to empower individuals, encourage new forms of cultural production and circulation, and foster more inclusive and participatory democracies. The Net takes a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, forming alliances across different sectors to address issues like poverty, education, human rights, and the environment through art and cultural activities.
Evidentiary Realism
This document summarizes Paolo Cirio's essay on Evidentiary Realism in art. It discusses how contemporary realist artists use documentary, forensic and investigative techniques to illuminate hidden aspects of society. Evidentiary Realism examines underlying economic, political and cultural structures that impact society through evidence from language, programs, data and technology controlled by power structures. The aesthetics of Evidentiary Realism presents evidence through various artistic strategies to reveal networks and prompt emotional responses from viewers about unintelligible complex systems. Realism in art is enhanced by advancing technologies that provide new forms of evidence and ways to investigate and decode complexity.
Presentation on the Aesthetics of the Information Ethics
This document discusses the concept of regulatory art as a way to engage with and address regulations in technocratic societies. It proposes a model for a global direct networked participatory democracy to help maintain democratic order amid technological disruptions. This model involves citizens participating at both micro and macro levels to propose, debate, and vote on initiatives, policies, and regulations, with accountability and oversight mechanisms. It also stresses the importance of unbiased, evidence-based information to inform deliberative decision-making and the public. An ongoing feedback loop is proposed to allow for reflexive policy and rule-making with constant review and adaptation. Information ethics considerations around issues like anonymity, accountability, access, and context of information are also discussed.

Presentation on the Aesthetics of the Information Ethics
This document discusses the concept of regulatory art as a way to engage with and address regulations in technocratic societies. It proposes a model for a global direct networked participatory democracy to help maintain democratic order amid technological disruptions. This model involves citizens participating at both micro and macro levels to propose, debate, and vote on initiatives, policies, and regulations, with accountability and oversight mechanisms. It also stresses the importance of unbiased, evidence-based information to inform deliberative decision-making and the public. An ongoing feedback loop is proposed to allow for reflexive policy and rule-making with constant review and adaptation. Information ethics considerations around issues like anonymity, accountability, access, and context of information are also discussed.
Financial Interventionist Art
Paolo Cirio is a conceptual artist who uses internet-based techniques and interventions to explore issues related to information systems, privacy, transparency, and the impact of technology on social systems. Some of his projects involve appropriating and redistributing sensitive information from large corporations and platforms like Facebook to reveal new meanings or allow understanding. However, this has led companies like PayPal to limit his accounts for policy violations. Cirio's work aims to critically analyze power structures and flows of informational power through participatory public engagement for ethics and ecology of information.
Systems of Justice over the Internet.
The document discusses the right to be forgotten and the debates around privacy, free speech, and transparency on the internet. It argues that while search engines currently act as judges in removing personal information, they do so opaquely and are motivated by commercial interests rather than fairness. True freedom of information requires regulation of internet companies and democratic processes for individuals to request accurate contextualization or removal of harmful private details. Extending rights to remove sensitive personal data globally could help address issues like online harassment while respecting both privacy and free speech.

Art Commodities
Paolo Cirio created the conceptual artwork ArtCommodities.com to introduce ideas of collectible digital art and critique the contemporary art market. It proposes alternatives like a "Smart Art Market" that establishes democratic aesthetic values through selling unique artworks at low prices. This would create a new economic model using "Smart Digital Art Objects" authenticated via cryptography. The work analyzes how to design market instruments that address manipulation and affect socio-cultural values. It suggests investing in art with social values could lead to sustainable art markets and taste formation benefiting society.
Recombinant Fiction
Paolo Cirio invented the genre of Recombinant Fiction, which presents real issues through fictional stories told across multiple media platforms. It integrates actors and audiences in an immersive, participatory form of art. Recombinant Fiction projects like The Big Plot (2009) and Drowning NYC (2010) foreshadowed issues and used social media to tell nonlinear stories. The genre stages fictional dramas in the real world to dramatize social issues and potentially enact change through audience participation and identification with characters.
Daily Paywall - Slides videos presentations
Daily Paywall is a conceptual artwork that aims to democratize access to information by crowdfunding to pay readers to access over 60,000 news articles from major publications that were previously behind paywalls. It wants to bypass the agenda of media companies and reward critical writers by extracting value from accumulated information to reinvest in socio-critical analysis. Daily Paywall questions contemporary dynamics around how information and data determine social and economic order.
DailyPaywall.com VS Pearson PLC - Conceptual Art with Piracy & Sharing Economy
This document discusses Daily Paywall, an art performance project by Paolo Cirio. For a year, Cirio broke through the paywalls of major publications like the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and The Economist to redistribute over 60,000 pay-per-view articles for free. The project aimed to promote democratic education by offering readers monetary rewards for answering quizzes and allowing journalists to claim compensation. It also sought to generate public debate on issues of knowledge formation and media consumption through new media. However, the project faced legal backlash from Pearson PLC, the owner of the Financial Times and The Economist, for copyright infringement.
Workshop Tactical Transmedia - Recombinant Fiction - booklet
The document summarizes a workshop on tactical transmedia fictions led by Paolo Cirio. The workshop will explore cross-media practices like transmedia storytelling, alternate reality games, and dispersed fiction. It will introduce major transmedia productions and opportunities in the field. Specifically, it will focus on how transmedia storytelling can be used for educational and political goals. The workshop will provide theoretical background and histories of experimental storytelling, as well as practical techniques for developing transmedia projects, including developing a unified story across multiple platforms. The overall workshop aims to develop understanding of concepts in transmedia storytelling and address technical and tactical problems in using media.

Slides "Anti-Social Sculptures". 2012.
Anti-Social Sculptures are artworks created by Paolo Cirio that appropriate individuals' personal data and online interactions without consent. They are deliberate exploitations intended as provocative spectacles. By sorting and arranging personal information, the artist can mold social forms and comment on contemporary issues like mass surveillance. These conceptual artworks configure online and offline spaces using people's data as material, creating performances that reveal complicity with social control enabled by personal media. They aim to uncover alienating social conventions and engage excluded publics in socio-critical discourse.
P2P Gift Credit Card & Gift Finance
This document describes a proposed P2P Gift Credit Card system that aims to democratically create and distribute money through communities interconnected in a peer-to-peer network. It would utilize existing credit card infrastructure and currency but issue money without interest or obligations. Anyone could generate money for their social connections by issuing them credit card numbers loaded with ยฃ100 of gift credit from a not-for-profit organization. The goal is to restore the power to create virtual money and regulate its supply through democratic participation rather than private financial industries.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Critical Art of the Information Society - Lecture Slides 2015 - 2016 - Paolo Cirio
- 1. PAOLO CIRIO Conceptual Art for a critical theory of Informationโs Power
- 2. Global Information Order creates new paradigms of social conditions, with multiple contradictions and conicts that require a dialectic art of the Information Society. Art practice that considers how society is impacted by the distribution, organization, and control of information. Speed, quantity, and quality of information challenge our society. Social spaces and norms, economy and laws, knowledge and memory, identity and culture, space and time, all collapse in information structures and ows of communication within networks, which are my ultimate material I work with.
- 3. Techniques shock and transgression for art with critical edges. Contextualizing sensitive information to reveal new meanings within it. Appropriating sensitive information to give it other values. Exposing sensitive information to allow its meaning to be understood. Techniques for being applied to any subject and social system.
- 4. Potentials / Limits / Con icts of Information Society Control over information Knowledge Access / Distribution / Asymmetry Economy Ownership / Monetization Privacy Public / Private / Transparency / Anonymity Democracy Enhance / Oppress / Governance / Law Semiology Cognition / Perception of Reality
- 5. Agenda My +rst concern and aim is the public interest, which I approach through critical and participatory engagement of the public. My work is research-based: I analyze a variety of structures, mechanics, functions and ows of informational power. For art that untangles the complex issues of our time. For art that informs and teaches the public. For ethics and ecology of information, for having it clear, fair and functional.
- 6. Aims Artwork to make contradictions apparent, expose mechanisms, and dispute their processes. The functions and perceptions of normative systems are debunked as works of art, which ultimately propose creative alternatives beyond the socioeconomic critiques they o1er. Pursuing these aims with aesthetic forms and concepts. Working with the politics and ethics of information has direct real-world consequences due to the sensitive nature of the subject itself.
