In both, scale rearticulates the human as a diffuse informational pattern, causing important shifts in political form as well as aesthetic form. Bigness redraws relationships between the singular and the collective. Understood as informational patterns, collectives can be radically inclusive, even incorporating nonhumans. As a result, the political subject is slowly becoming a new object. This social and informational body belongs to no single individual, but is shared in solidarity with something "bigger than you." In decelerationist aesthetics, the aesthetic properties, proclivities, and performances of objects come to defy the accelerationist imperative to be nimbly individuated. Decelerationist aesthetics rejects atomistic, liberal, humanist subjects; this unit of self is too consonant with capitalist relations and functions. Instead, decelerationist aesthetics favors transhuman sociality embodied in particulate, mattered objects; the aesthetic form of such objects resists capitalist speed and immediacy by taking back and taking up space and time. In just this way, big data calls into question the conventions by which humans are defined as discrete entities, and individual scales of agency are made to form central binding pillars of social existence through which bodies are drawn into relations of power and pathos. 606 $aData mining$xSocial aspects 606 $aBig data 606 $aAesthetics, Modern$y21st century 610 $abig data 610 $acomputing 610 $acultural studies 610 $aobesity 610 $atechnology 615 0$aData mining$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aBig data. 615 0$aAesthetics, Modern 700 $aBehar$b Katherine$f1976-$0898036 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910156518403321 996 $aBigger Than You: Big Data and Obesity$92006371 997 $aUNINA
