Shintaro Miyazaki forscht an der Schnittstelle von Medienwissenschaft, Digital Humanities und kritischer Technologieanalyse. Seine Arbeit untersucht die sozialen, politischen und ethischen Implikationen von Algorithmen, künstlicher Intelligenz und digitalen Medien, oft unter Verwendung von Medienarchäologie und postkolonialen Perspektiven. Er entwickelt alternative Modelle für 'Commoning' und gemeinwohlorientierte Technologien, die sich gegen marktgetriebene, neoliberale Strukturen richten. Zudem setzt er sich mit Fragen der Digitalisierung in Bildung und Gesellschaft sowie mit ästhetischen und rhythmischen Aspekten computergestützter Kulturen auseinander.

Ouverture In a post-digital era, where digital computerized technology is no longer a novelty but already ubiquitous, it is crucial to understand the meaning-creating potential of rhythm in a “media archeological,” techno-cultural, and epistemological sense (Ernst 31; Huhtamo and Parikka). And while doing so rhythm should be defined as an inter-modal1 tool and model for analyzing cultural objects and their hidden relations with current techno and media-cultural situations. “Algorhythm” is a heuristic combination of the words ALGORITHM and RHYTHM. Algorithm is a term crucially used in computer science and means a finite sequence of step-by-step instructions, a procedure for solving a problem, often used in computers as a fundamental principle of software or in everyday life, for example as cooking recipes. Rhythm, on the other side, is defined by Plato as a time-based order of movement, where movement should be understood as movements of materials that can be measured by technical—but at the same time epistemological—tools.2 “Algorhythms” are consequently combinations of symbolic and real physical structures. They occur when real matter is controlled by symbolic and logic structures like instructions written as code. “Algorhythms” let us hear that our digital culture is not immaterial, but lively, rhythmical, performative, tactile and physical, and, most importantly, that “algorhythms” are not just normal rhythms. Their transmissions and storages can nowadays be quick enough to deceive our senses, and also their manipulative power—namely their speed and quality of calculations—became in the last decades faster than our human senses. “Algorhythms” oscillate “in-between” the symbolic and the real, between codes and real AlgoRHYTHMS Everywhere: A Heuristic Approach to Everyday Technologies

This article describes the exploration of urban media environments through its critical and aesthetic analysis with the help of a self-made auditory device called 'Detektor', which demodulates the otherwise inaudible electromagnetic signals and rhythms into audible sounds again. It proposes two case studies based on methods of media archaeology and furthermore, it conducts a rhythm analysis of ubiquitous infospheres. Finally, it will argue that the neologism of algorhythm, a combination of the word algorithm with rhythm, could be one of many media theoretical consequences of the findings described.
