 Wednesday, September 8th!!! \n\nA timely portrait of Facebook founder and 
 CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, constructed from a systematic sampling of his use of 
 words about growth and numbers 2004 to 2018. \n\nAs leader of the world’s 
 largest social media corporation, what does Mark Zuckerberg think about? 
 While we get clues from his posts on Facebook and elsewhere, a primary 
 window into this question is through his public video recorded appearances. 
 Covering the earliest days of Facebook in 2004 up through Zuckerberg’s 
 compelled appearances before the US Congress in 2018, these recordings 
 reveal what’s changed and what hasn’t changed about the way he speaks 
 and what he says. For ORDER OF MAGNITUDE, Grosser viewed every one of these 
 recordings and used them to build a supercut drawn from three of Mark’s 
 most favored words: “more,” “grow,” and his every utterance of a 
 metric such as “two million” or “one billion.” The result is a 
 nearly fifty minute film that reveals primary topics of focus for the tech 
 CEO, acting as a lens on what he cares about, how he thinks, and what he 
 hopes to attain.  \n\nBen Grosser is an Associate Professor of New Media in 
 the School of Art + Design, co-founder of the Critical Technology Studies 
 Lab at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), and a 
 faculty affiliate in the Unit for Criticism and Interpretive Theory and the 
 School of Information Sciences, all at the University of Illinois at 
 Urbana-Champaign. He focuses on the cultural, social, and political effects 
 of software, constructing interactive experiences, machines, and systems 
 that make the familiar unfamiliar, revealing the ways that software 
 prescribes our behavior and thus, how it changes who we are. \n 
 \nGrosser’s work has been exhibited at major international venues, 
 exhibitions, and festivals, including Eyebeam in New York, Arebyte in 
 London, Museu das Comunicações in Lisbon, Museum Kesselhaus in Berlin, 
 FILE in São Paulo, Digital Arts Festival in Athens, Piksel in Bergen, WRO 
 Media Art Biennale in Wroclaw, Science Gallery in Dublin, Museum Ludwig in 
 Cologne, Kunsthaus Langenthal in Switzerland, and Galerie Charlot in Paris. 
 His work is currently on view as part of AI: More than Human at the 
 Groninger Forum in the Netherlands (a traveling exhibition that began at 
 The Barbican Centre in London), and 24/7 at Somerset House in London 
 curated by Sarah Cook. Upcoming exhibitions include Re|Search at the 
 International Symposium on Electronic Art in Montreal, Perfect Users at 
 Anno Domini in San Jose, CA, and Algorithmic Bias at Senne in Brussels. His 
 work also has been featured in The New Yorker, Wired, The Atlantic, The 
 Guardian, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Neural, Rhizome, 
 Hyperallergic, FastCoDesign, Al Jazeera, Corriere della Sera, El País, and 
 Der Spiegel; and both his art and his scholarship are addressed in books, 
 including Technologies of Vision: The War Between Data and Images by Steve 
 F Anderson, How to Be a Geek: Essays on the Culture of Software by Matthew 
 Fuller, Electronic Literature by Scott Rettberg, The Age of Surveillance 
 Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff.  \n\n \n
