Kot je v kontekstu tehnokapitalizma v tem trenutku 21. stoletja nedavno opozoril umetnik in raziskovalec Vladan Joler, smo danes priča novi obliki ekstraktivizma: taki, ki sega v najbolj oddaljene kotičke biosfere in najgloblje plasti človeškega kognitivnega in afektivnega bitja.
To je izhodišče najnovejše edicije programa 𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑡𝑖𝑘𝑒 & 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑠𝑎, ki se začenja z »ogrevalno« razstavo 𝑆𝑘𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑜 𝑧̌𝑖𝑣𝑙𝑗𝑒𝑛𝑗𝑒 𝑢𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑛𝑖𝑘𝑎 𝐴𝑚𝑎𝑧𝑜𝑛𝑎 – spletnim projektom ki osvetli Amazonovo pogosto nepriznano, a agresivno izkoriščanje uporabnikov tako z brezplačnim delom kot s prisilnim prevzetjem energetskih stroškov tega izkoriščanja.
Nakup knjige na Amazonu je dozdevno enostaven proces. A za to funkcionalnostjo in enostavnostjo se v resnici skriva na stotine vnaprej sprogramiranih procesov, ki se med našim nakupovanjem nevidno odvijajo v ozadju, da bi nas prepoznali, ko vstopimo prek katerekoli naprave, nam ponudili predloge na osnovi prejšnjih nakupov ter o nas zbrali še več podatkov glede na to, kaj iščemo, klikamo in kupujemo.

As the artist and researcher Vladan Joler has recently pointed out in the context of techno-capitalism at this moment in the 21st century, we are witnessing a new form of extractivism: one that reaches into the furthest corners of the biosphere and the deepest layers of human cognitive and affective being.
This is the starting point of the latest edition of 𝑇𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑠 & 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒 which opens with a “warm-up” event: 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐻𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑒𝑛 𝐿𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑛 𝐴𝑚𝑎𝑧𝑜𝑛 𝑈𝑠𝑒𝑟, a web-based project that sheds light on Amazon’s often unacknowledged but aggressive exploitation of its users, both through free labour and by forcing them to bear the energetic costs of this exploitation.
Buying a book on Amazon is usually a simple, fast and seamless process. But behind this functionality and apparent simplicity, there are in fact hundreds of pre-programmed processes, happening instantly and invisibly in the background as we wander through the store, recognising us when we enter from any device, making suggestions based on our previous purchases and collecting more data about us based on what we search, click and buy.
