Post-network neo-topologies (2013-2022)


Post-network neo-topologies are hand-made data drawings, or “data drawings without data”, in relation to global topologies of semio-organic networks.

For several years I have been working on the post-Fordist production processes of network capitalism. These processes, inherited from both Toyotism and hacker practices, are documented and illustrated in the literature: agile methods, scrum, kanban, sprints… I work in situ, in relation to startups, by following the day-to-day work methodologies, meetings between customers, designers, computer scientists…, by observing project management, their crises, and their mistakes. Over time, I map them, taking inspiration from the scientific schemas I find in books on economics, entrepreneurship, risk management, scale-free network theories, or theoretical physics… The results are these organic drawings, a kind of fantasized “score-landscapes” of cultural post-capitalism.
