The term data double denotes information generated by and collected from users of networked communications to construct relational databases in marketing and other domains. Each subject (user) of this surveillance-panoptical system inevitably informs and objectifies all other subjects. Social media experiences are based on our continuously “tracked” engagement. Surveillance functions across written and spoken language, biometrics, geolocation, and visual and behavioral patterns. This text is primarily concerned with visual media and its production and (re)circulation as the accumulation of data through uploading, viewing, liking, commenting, remixing, and sharing. The article explores how selected media artists reflect upon the potential of recirculating information to reveal our data doubles and the surveillance-panoptical system.

一切都由我们的数据替身守护

术语“双数据”表示由网络通信用户生成和收集的信息，用于构建营销和其他领域的关系数据库。这个全景监控系统的每个主体（用户）都不可避免地通知并客观化所有其他主体。社交媒体体验基于我们持续“跟踪”的参与度。监视功能涵盖书面和口头语言、生物识别、地理位置以及视觉和行为模式。本文主要关注视觉媒体及其生产和（再）流通，即通过上传、查看、点赞、评论、重新混合和共享来积累数据。本文探讨了选定的媒体艺术家如何反思循环信息的潜力，以揭示我们的数据替身和监控全景系统。
