L’objectif est d’exposer une partie des structures et des dynamiques de l’économie politique des données personnelles telle qu’elle existe aux États-Unis.

In the well-known legend of Zeuxis choosing his models for the image of Helen from among the Girls of Croton, the ideal composition desired by the monarch and executed by the artist necessarily involves the power over bodies to create an ideal beauty. The notion of the composite can be found throughout the representation of the canon, which is found in all ages, as an intrinsic fact of our way of representing and therefore of considering the world. Its role is unifying and soothing, and in this it would be an opposition to the collage: where the collage assumes its unnatural alliances, the composite pretends to recreate a unity. From Mary Shelley's conception of the world to George Orwell's, this article puts forward the hypothesis that cartography, performed today by satellite imagery, has, since its origins, been the precious ally of these totalitarian methods aiming, through a composite assembly, to give a false image of a unified world, all centred on the West, which has since become the undisputed master of maps and compasses. But is it all truly for the best in the best of all possible worlds? It would be to forget that the compositing that gives us these images ontologically implies the space in between, the gap, the white zone; in short, it would be to forget that something is rotten in the realm of Google Earth... If a large number of artists and image-makers have exploited the spectacular but top-down beauty of the "cartographic eye of art", others are sneaking into forbidden and unmapped places to try to deliver a bottom-up version of the world in which we live, in the tradition of what the situationists initiated more than sixty years ago, followed by the walkers and the artists of counter-mapping, critical mapping or alternative mapping.

In this paper the authors share two short case studies from the Kingdom of Eswatini. Selected initiatives by tertiary institutions from the small Southern African country will showcase reactions from the education sector to the global COVID‑19 pandemic. While the closure of educational institutions was mandatory (as per government's decision), some institutions went online (or partially online) and others did not. Important lessons can be drawn from these case studies. These will be presented in the final part of the paper.

How could we consider the digital space and give full account of its structured, moving, and simultaneously collective attributes ? How could we find a device that enables an open dialogue, which allows us to understand the meaning of digital infrastructures without any impoverishing essentialization ? This e-exchange appeared to us the most appropriate way to theorize and create an act of thought that fits in with the digital culture and allows a critical eye on it. For about a year and a half (from September 2015 to March 2017), we shared questions and answers, trying to identify the digital world's characteristics — its spaces, times, political challenges —, in continuity with the philosophical dialogue.
