Middle and ring fingers together to represent modesty. (He doesn't say it, but it also could stand for "M" as in Medici??)
Finger pointing at viewer may indicate a self portrait.
Woman's hand on abdomen may represent pregnancy, a fertile marriage, or the desire to bear children.

Ms. Herzig started taking these pictures — called 0.5 selfies (pronounced “point five” selfies, and not “half” selfies) — when she upgraded to an iPhone 12 Pro last year and discovered that its back camera had an ultra-wide-angle lens that could make her and her friends look “distorted and crazy.”

Une illustra-tion récente est la diffusion sur la toile de selfiesparticuliers: les selfies at funerals. Se photogra-phiant avant les obsèques ou pendant avec la per-sonne défunte (ou sa photo) en fond d’écran, cesadolescents s’associent symboliquement au mort
Argument épistémique abductif.
Peut-on par contre s'interroger sur le caractère transgressif de ce comportement ? A l'ère des selfies, peut-on se demander quels sont les comportements acceptables ou non, en société et sur les réseaux sociaux ?

‘caminar la palabra’, un concepto desarrollado por la minga social y comunitaria de los nasa para señalar la necesidad de hacerse visible, denunciar y tejer conocimientos, resistencias y estrategias de manera colectiva con otros movimientos. Las alianzas requieren la creación de inter-conocimiento y traducción entre movimientos y mundos para permitir la inteligibilidad y una medida de coordinación (

. La ICT tiene conexiones directas con los movimientos de intelectuales y activistas en torno a las nociones de ‘decrecimiento’ y la defensa de los comunes. La ICT, el decrecimiento y los comunes en conjunto constituyen un espacio unificado para el futuro desarrollo de la teoría y la práctica del diseño para la transición. En la siguiente sección voy a proponer unconjunto similar de nociones provenientes de América Latina, incluyendo el post-desarrollo, el buen vivir, los derechos de la naturaleza y las transiciones al post-extractivismo como espacios importantes para profundizar el diseño para la transici
¿Cómo esto podría experimentarse desde escalas locales, en un hackerspace, barrio o pequeña ciudad tensionada por el crecimiento, como Cajicá?
Una de las posibilidades sería transparentar el discurso y acción política en pequeñas ciudades y barrios a partir de las prácticas ocurridas desde el hackerspace y/o la biblioteca pública., extendiendo y conectando lo que ocurre en los planos simbólicos y del código, con los de los planos físicos y el diálogo cotidiano. Los Data Selfies son un prototipo en esa línea.

t from day one the Club complemented its hacks with outward-oriented com-munication aimed to make the hackers’ findings comprehensible and its political demands visible to the largest possible public. The Btx hack itself, for example, would not have been overly effectual if news media had not picked up the story. As news media reported widely on the hack and were largely in support of the hackers’ criticism, the hack gained an event character. Following the Btx hack, the CCC was recognized as a collective actor that had something relevant to say about the communi-cation and information landscape in Germany. The CCC was invited to speak on the main television news magazine of public broadcaster ZDF, the advice of Club members was frequently sought by national newspa-pers, they were asked by corporations to speak on data security and were requested by the newly established Green Party to write a report on the Party’s potential use of networked computing. one of the important details here is that instead of only being the subject of media coverage, the CCC had the opportunity to communicate its point of view to differ-ent audiences
En nuestro caso eso no ocurrió. El impacto mediático ha sido bajo (ver comentario anterior) y cuando se han entrevistado miembros de la comunidad, por ejemplo en el caso d RedPaTodos y la Ley Lleras, estos espacios mediáticos han sido usados para hablar desde lo indvidual y las fundaciones y no para visibilizar a las comunidades de base que eran cercanas a sus luchas.y consginas y que las empoderaron y posicionaron originalmente.
El tema de los data selfies intentará lograr mayor visibilidad estratégica en periodos pre-electorales (supeditado a la terminación de la tesis doctoral) y una manera más articulada de recorrer el camino entre comunidades de base e instituciones circundantes).

Conceiving the enactment of rights as dissensus is more powerful than understanding dissent as civil disobedience. For all its illustrative history, civil disobedience still evokes a reactionary politics, whereas dissensus is creative and affirmative. Although significant as a specific act, civil disobedience is rather too narrow to understand political acts in general. Staging dissensus brings into play the imaginary, performative, and legality of rights all at once and constitutes subjects as citizen subjects of power. Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, Anonymous, Aaron Swartz, and Open Rights are not only definite individuals or collectives of civil disobedience but stand for a political subjectivity enacting rights as the staging of dissensus. This is what we gather from their acts. When they enact rights that they do not have and the rights that they should have, they bring into being political subjects who cannot be known in advance. Their acts are contestations over who is counted as political and what counts as politics. To put it slightly differently, the performative and imaginary force of rights lies in the double movement between their inscription and enactment.

Thus, there is also no reason to think that citizen journalism—at least as it is practiced in these platforms—is intrinsically counterhegemonic. Rather, we would investigate the rationalities of these conventions, the way they are taken up by subjects in obedient, submissive, and subversive ways, and the effects they produce.
Para el caso de nuestras infraestructuras de bolsillo, que alientan prácticas de apropiación (vía la el código) y bifurcación (vía los repositorios de código fuente), dichas racionalidades distintas materializan en infraestructuras y herramientas diferentes.
¿Cómo podemos hacer que ciertas plataformas, las prácticas y los ethos de las mismas sean más visibles y ampliamente utilizadas? Para el caso de Grafoscopio, esto podría tener que ver con facilitar el proceso de instalación (lo cual llevaría a temas como vigilar que el crecimiento de la comunidad tenga estrategias para satisfacer sus demandas). Esos lugares alternativos deberían entrar en diálogo con los más hegemónicos, y en ese sentido la viralidad puede ser una estrategia, como en el caso de los Data Selfies.
En ese diálogo entre lo alternativo y lo hegemónico, cómo en particular interpelar lugares de investigación como la academia y los periodísticos?

Hay simplemente datos que no registramos y tenemos la tendencia dejar una sobra digital pequeña en lugar de una grande. Los data selfies son maneras de reapropiar las narrativas sobre los datos y pensarnos de otras maneras desde ellos, en lugar de dejar esas lecturas sólo a quienes nos mercantilizan.

Acá los actos futuros guían la acción presente y le dan permiso de ocurrir. Del mismo modo como el derecho a ser olvidado es un derecho futuro imaginado que irrumpe en la legislación presente, pensar un retrato de datos o campañas políticas donde éstos sean importantes, le da forma al activismo presente.
La idea clave acá es hacer algo diferente, que ha sido el principio tras Grafoscopio y el Data Week, desde sus apuestas particulares de futuro, que en buena medida es discontinuo con las prácticas del presente, tanto ciudadanas, cono de alfabetismos y usos populares de la tecnología.

sites such as Facebook and Twitter automatically and continuously refresh the page; it’s impossible to get to the bottom of the feed.
Well is not. A scrapping web technique used for the Data Selfies project goes to the end of the scrolling page for Twitter (after almost scrolling 3k tweets), which is useful for certain valid users of scrapping (like overwatch of political discourse on twitter).
So, can be infinite scrolling be useful, but not allowed by default on this social networks. Could we change the way information is visualized to get an overview of it instead of being focused on small details all the time in an infitite scroll tread mill.

The catalyst for such a scale-up will necessarily be political. But even with political will, it can’t happen without technology that’s capable of scaling, and economically viable at scale. As technologists, that’s where we come in.
May be we come before, by enabling this conversation (as said previously). Political agenda is currently coopted by economical interests far away of a sustainable planet or common good. Feedback loops can be a place to insert counter-hegemonic discourse to enable a more plural and rational dialogue between civil society and goverment, beyond short term economic current interest/incumbents.

This is aimed at people in the tech industry, and is more about what you can do with your career than at a hackathon. I’m not going to discuss policy and regulation, although they’re no less important than technological innovation. A good way to think about it, via Saul Griffith, is that it’s the role of technologists to create options for policy-makers.
Nice to see this conversation happening between technology and broader socio-political problems so explicit in Bret's discourse.
What we're doing in fact is enabling this conversation between technologist and policy-makers first, and we're highlighting it via hackathon/workshops, but not reducing it only to what happens there (an interesting critique to the techno-solutionism hackathon is here), using the feedback loops in social networks, but with an intention of mobilizing a setup that goes beyond. One example is our twitter data selfies (picture/link below). The necesity of addressing urgent problem that involve techno-socio-political complex entanglements is more felt in the Global South.
