Opis

The following text deals with an essential concept in this era of globalization and planetary catastrophes: virtual capitalism. And where the latter has been possible thanks to the www that has opened a space dominated by electronic devices, algorithms and hyperconnectivity 24/7 which has triggered the construction of a political distribution (nomos) where what Deleuze -in a visionary way- would call open societies of control is visualized. Within such a crossroads of control appears a phenomenon guided by a global politics of capitalism that is capable of monetizing our desires, tastes, passions, data, etc., through the clicks we leave on the www. Thus, virtual capitalism is an experimentum mundi that has intruded into the private part of our lives and where the question arises: What types of creative spaces are possible in this planetary hypercomplexity?
