Kyle Chayka, New Yorker staff writer and author of “Filterworld: How Algorithms Flattened Culture” sits down with Ronny Chieng and Jordan Klepper at the Daily Show to discuss the effects of algorithm-based suggestions on how we experience taste and culture. Chayka discusses living in a time where we are accustomed to algorithms sorting and delivering content that fits our tastes and opinions, the world becoming more generic, experiencing culture collectively, yet becoming divided in the political sphere by sorting into extremist groups.
In this second video, the author speaks about minimalism as a trend. This aesthetic current, which encourages people to have and need less, has been swallowed up by the logic of capitalism and used to homogenise aesthetic trends across the board. Kyle Chayka reflects on this process while inviting us to stop and pay attention to the world around us, and encouraging the listener to discover things for himself.
