Environments of Control in the Films of Melanie Gilligan

Since 2008, the artist Melanie Gilligan has been investigating how techniques of machinic capitalism have intensified in face digital environments. This is expounded upon three video works particular. Crisis Credit System (2008) raises question market, controlled by an “invisible hand”, functions as milieu economic subject. Popular Unrest (2010) shows algorithms intervene reproduction life and, doing so, not only govern subjects, but interpret their infra- and supraindividual data traces environment. In The Common Sense (2014), society regulates itself through a decentralized omnipresent affective network created environmentally distributed technologies. this paper I want to ask what kind power-formation sketched Gilligan, especially since focus all put on control environmental factors.
 order achieve this, will follow Foucault developed his lectures Birth Biopolitics. he calls governmentality does aim at production subjects (as disciplinary techniques), rather over milieus or show that central aspect power formation, implicated diegetic universes Gilligan’s films. Additionally discuss more recent contributions control: Erich Hörl’s concept environmentalization, Antointette Rouvroy’s term algorithmic governmentality, Gerald Raunig’s latest thoughts about dividuum capitalism, well Maurizio Lazzarato who taken up Deleuze’s Guattari’s asignifying semiotics.
 By successively working works, conclude way conceives different formations may be analyzed allegories historical technological processes reach from 18th century’s market today’s milieus.
