Pour le designer Fabien Girardin, l’avenir est à des interfaces, des expériences, des algorithmes, des conceptions qui transforment nos pratiques sociales, nous aidant à modérer notre obsession collective pour les métriques et la comparaison, nous aidant à améliorer la conversion plutôt que la connexion (que favorisent les likes et les retweets), réduise le coût social du désabonnement aux actualités d’un profil, promeuvent la solitude, nous aide à réguler notre besoin à accumuler des contacts, nous aide à oublier pour mieux nous souvenir, nous invite à attendre moins de la technologie et plus de nous-mêmes ou des autres.

This is a design fiction to provoke discussions on innovative social media interfaces, platforms, algorithms and design patterns that do not uniquely focus on speed, the “now”, and the accumulation of “moments”. Social media that inform, surprise, remember, provoke but without begging for our focus or attention.

There are many ways to gauge importance from a social and cultural sense, such as calculating the centrality of the Salt Lake City Airport in a network made up of world airports, or measuring the number and type of notable individuals a city produces. We struggle with just such a question of metrics all the time in the digital humanities, and so I’ve experimented with several more off-the-wall measures. One that I think provides a sense of cultural density, especially in the English-speaking world, is a measure of the quantity of Wikipedia articles associated with a place. It’s very rough, and meant to be one of the ever-useful “gestures” at meaning that are used in the humanities (while the sciences have perfected the proxy, the gesture is truly the most valuable humanities commodity).
