✦ Affective Logistics: On the Algorithmic Capture and Routing of Emotion
A theory of affect rerouted.
This project tracks the logistical infrastructures that capture, sort, and reroute emotion across computational systems.
It is not a study of feelings. It is a study of how feeling becomes operable.
Through biometric surveillance, platform design, sonic governance, and emotional UI scripting, affect becomes a unit of circulation: coded, budgeted, and discarded.
This is not emotional design. This is affect rendered as infrastructure.
What emerges is a grammar of affective austerity: the quiet violence of systems that route feeling like freight.
→ Excerpt not publicly hosted.
A full research manuscript and book proposal exist. Affective Logistics is theorized as both a material practice and an epistemic weapon. Drawing from interface studies, algorithmic governance, sonic regimes, and colonial quantification, the manuscript reframes feeling not as experience, but as infrastructure. These texts are not hosted here. They may be requested through the reliquary dispatches.
