Countering Military Logistics and Algorithms in Palestine

Algorithms -the well-calculated, supposedly all-solving encrypted formulas for any computational problem- have come to define our interactions. What we like, what we desire, what we see, and how we even perceive the space: encryptions have come to define how a space is constructed and destructed. They have to come to order space, and even subvert it. That is, algorithms have come to read and write the world. But before the entanglement of codes within cities, what preceded algorithms? The modern concept of algorithms was analyzed by ancient mathematicians and was later redefined by social scientists and engineers to sustain a more formal language and to execute efficiently. To that end, algorithms became essential to carry out specific tasks, process information, read data from one source, and provide an output.
