Please send to research@metabody.eu or contact Jaime de Val for more information: jaimedelval@metabody.eu.

This is the first stage of a Survey, and also an awareness raising, please disseminate.

Please also send us your feedback on the questionnaire itself and help us develop it further.

  1. Do you think you entertain occasionally or habitually intimate relations with autonomous algorithms? (intimate meaning with either deep knowledge and/or deep influence and also deep indeterminacy about what’s going on)
    1. ⃝ No
    2. ⃝ Occasionally
    3. ⃝ habitually
  2. If habitually, how often?
    1. ⃝ a few minutes per day
    2. ⃝ a few hours per day
    3. ⃝ 24 hours per day
  3. How many diferent kinds ofn auntonomous algorithms do you think you relate to on a daily basis?
    1. ⃝ 1 to 4
    2. ⃝ 5 to 15

    3. ⃝ a alot
    4. ⃝ dramaticaly
  7. How do they affect/influence/guide you?: (Behaviourally? Creating addictions? Orientating you? Shaping your knowledge and perception?…) ________________________________________________________________________________

    1. ⃝ not at all
    2. ⃝ a little
    3. ⃝ quite abit
    4. ⃝ fully

    1. ⃝ yes
    2. ⃝ no
    3. ⃝ barely
  15. How does it feel to realise that you are married to multiple algorithms with whom you have signed actual contracts by clicking on accepting the conditions? ________________________________________________________________
  16. Do you know the conditions of your marriage contract with the algorithms?
    1. ⃝ yes
    2. ⃝ no
    3. ⃝ barely

    2. ⃝ no
    3. ⃝ maybe
  23. Could you invent new embodied metaphors to describe this new awareness and sensation of being coupled to autonmous algorithms? __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
