An algorithm, drawn by a 21-year-old female american culture and literature student in Turkey.

Can you draw how an algorithm works? Software. I don’t know. Hmm. Ok, let it be like this: this is my first box. Here I buy the aloe vera plant on my own tablet, computer, from Trendyol [a website]. In the second box, I hang out on Twitter an hour and a half later. Next to my page, ads of cicekbu.com [flower shop] or something appear. Algorithm works like this. How do you think that it shows up? Hmm. Hmm. Data on my computer is not secure. So everything I enter shows up there. A company has to buy it. In other words, this information must be sold to a company, because the guy who finds the Internet would not deal with such things. There has to be a commercial background for such things to happen. When did you first hear about the algorithms? When was it? Mark Zuckerberg sold information on potential voters to Trump. He basically sold the database. I mean, in a political situation, Mark Zuckerberg was even in a trial - I think I learned about them that way. The word ‘algorithm’ was used there. After that, I started to do some research about it. Then it was in the agenda of the news. So, you hear about algorithms today? Yes. In what context? In the context of politics? Hmm. Was it in relation to algorithms... In which context do you hear about algorithms today? Well, shops, online shops, it can even be Decathlon, from flowers to clothes, from clothes to swimsuit, from swimsuit to swim glasses… I mean – I bought swimglasses and there were swimsuit and bikini ads there the next day. The ads were usually of the textile sector. Thank you.
