Cognitive Assemblages

Distribution of cognition and agency: Neither humans nor technical systems are solely in charge. Both are “cognizers” that interpret and act on information, with agency distributed across the system. A system where human and technical actors, like humans, algorithms, and sensors, work together, distributing cognition and agency across the network, which is characterized by the circulation of information through human and technical cognizers that drop in and out of the network in shifting configurations that enable interpretations and meanings to emerge, circulate, interact and disseminate.
