This collection is a skillful deep dive into the uncanny valley of measurement as existential media practice: the measures and techniques that produce selves and the measures that also control and limit selves. Through multidisciplinary case studies, this book is an excellent contribution to critical data studies and many other fields. * Jussi Parikka, Professor, Aarhus University, Denmark *

This collection is a skillful deep dive into the uncanny valley of measurement as existential media practice: the measures and techniques that produce selves and the measures that also control and limit selves. Through multidisciplinary case studies, this book is an excellent contribution to critical data studies and many other fields. * Jussi Parikka, Professor, Aarhus University, Denmark * An informed and captivating media-philosophical and arts-oriented collection of essays, this book does not shy away from the most existentially precarious and disturbing questions of our time. What does it take to be a person in the era of biometric technology? And what does it mean to exist both in negotiation with and in defiance of the limit situations of technologized selves? * Maria Hellström Reimer, Professor of Design Theory, Malmö University, School of Arts and Communication, Sweden *
