  This article describes their biopolitical implications for design from
psychological, cultural, legal, functional and aesthetic/perceptive ways, in
the framework of Hyperconnectivity: the condition according to which
person-to-person, person-to-machine and machine-to-machine communication
progressively shift to networked and digital means. A definition is given for
the terms of "interface biopolitics" and "data biopolitics", as well as
evidence supporting these definitions and a description of the technological,
theoretical and practice-based innovations bringing them into meaningful
existence. Interfaces, algorithms, artificial intelligences of various types,
the tendency in quantified self and the concept of "information bubbles" will
be examined in terms of interface and data biopolitics, from the point of view
of design, and for their implications in terms of freedoms, transparency,
justice and accessibility to human rights. A working hypothesis is described
for technologically relevant design practices and education processes, in order
to confront with these issues in critical, ethical and inclusive ways.
