Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet: A Conversation with Ted Striphas and danah boyd

Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet: A Conversation with Ted Striphas and danah boyd In-Person

Today, computer-powered algorithms exercise outsize influence on cultural decision-making, but algorithms have been shaping culture for centuries. From Cambridge, England, to Cambridge, Massachusetts—by way of medieval Baghdad—algorithmic culture began to coalesce long before the technological wizardry of Silicon Valley. In this live event, CU Boulder professor Ted Striphas will introduce his new book, Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet, in conversation with danah boyd of Microsoft Research.

This event is organized by the Department of Media Studies at CU Boulder and hosted by the Boulder Public Library. We hope you enjoy!
