The Internet of Things and the algorithmic technology of capturing, ranking and classifying data are increasingly approaching each other in the so-called digital culture. From the moment billions of objects are able to “talk uninterruptedly among themselves” and these data are collected, stored, interpreted, selected and transmitted to control giant companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon, algorithms of the mechanisms of Internet giants may rank and classify information in such an unprecedented way. In this context, the main objective of this article is to reflect critically on the way certain characteristics of the cultural industry morph in face of the consolidation of their algorithmic reproducibility in the Internet society of things. It is also intended to analyse the consequences of the algorithmic cultural industry in relation to, authority, formation, personalisation, vigilance and memory.

Keywords : Algorithmic cultural industry; Internet of things; Digital culture; Critical theory; Semiformation.
