Data-Body Machine: A Deleuzian Perspective in Digital Ontology

This paper explores the intersection of empiricism, postphenomenology, and data dynamics in the digital age. The rise of digital technologies and data machines questions the view of experiences as foundational data for knowledge claims. I draw on the ontology of Deleuze and Guattari (D&G hereafter), particularly their concept of machinic becoming, to understand how subjectivity and data are in constant flux, shaped by and shaping machinic assemblages that transcend human-centric interpretations. Through this framework, I explore the dynamics of data and subjectivity and their implications for understanding the fluid nature of identity and experience in the digital age.
