| Short abstract | This chapter traces the techno-epistemological relevance of Project Cybersyn’s processes of production quantification at factories, the transmission of that data, and the road towards their computation. By unfolding a mediaarchaeological analysis, these pages discuss archival documents showing that from the depths of Project Cybersyn’s technologies of transmission and computation, new correlations of forces and strategies of organization emerge. In sum, this text provides concrete evidence on how a media archaeology of Project Cybersyn unravels the media-genealogical scope of this case. |
