ABSTRACT This introduction reviews the intersection of data, ethics, and the Russian case. Its four sections, respectively, raise the ethical stakes concerning the contemporary data, outline a proverbial step toward a more humane ethics of data by normalizing certain features (such as anthropomorphic care) in the human–data relationship, reviews the leading scholarly literature on data, institutions, and social structures in specific, and summarizes the diverse contributions to this special journal issue. Each step is meant to broaden, ground, and sober the study of data in the modern moment. Taken together, the aim of this introduction, like the special issue it introduces, is to press the cutting edge of more open, humane, and critical research on data and the twenty-first century Russian case.

The opera features visuals, music and libretto activated by the brainwaves of the performer wearing a wireless EEG set. Noor discusses the issues of idealism, sacrifice and the autonomy of self under the surveillance of increasingly invasive and sophisticated data technologies.

ABSTRACT Big Data is now a headliner in political, economical and cultural news. But the nature and moral features of Big Data are still not understood. This paper proposes a view of the Big Data as a new field for eternal philosophical discussions about the human subject and its key characteristic – communication. The main findings are in the tradition of Russian philosophical and methodological thought and experience: social and political practice and values, practical philosophy and decision-making, sense and narration. At the heart of the Russian vision is the human subject in the process of interiorizing a social system of values, flexible and changeable like actual Big Data. The Russian version of Marxism (Vaziulin et al.), Russian logic and methodology of knowledge (Bruchlinskii and Gryaznov), Russian version of phenomenology (Shpet) and semiotics (Vygotsky, Bahtin, Jacobson, Propp and others) gave us the keys to comprehend any complex system – and to keep it human. Within the framework of the Russian philosophical tradition, technical Big Data problems and achievements should be considered in the context of moral differences and search for morality.

The following forum portion of this special issue is the result of the first in Russia an academic event series initiated by the ‘Russian Journal of Communication’ – an event that, if we may be so bold, almost performs in the event organization complexity the explicit theme of data turn and human and professional ethics that its contributors take on. Namely, what data driven communication means for Russian scholars in philosophy, political and media studies. The following materials are the outcome of a series of several scholarly meetings spread throughout leading universities throughout Russia – in Moscow at the Philosophy Faculty at Lomonosov Moscow State University, in Saint Petersburg at the Applied Political Science Department at National Research University Higher School of Economics with the support of the Russian Association of Political Science, the Research Committee on Public Politics and Civil Society Problems and TransRegion Humanitarian and Politology Center ‘Strategy’, in Kazan, Tatarstan – at the Higher School of Journalism and Media Communication at Kazan Federal University. Underlying these open forums is commitment to raising public concerns and advancing scholarly questions about the changing world of data driven communication studies and ethics in Russia. These discussions were organized and moderated by Dr Anna Kostikova (Lomonosov Moscow State University), Prof. Grygory Tulchinsky (Higher School of Economics, St. Petersburg) and Dr Leonid Tolchinsky (Kazan Federal University). All the discussions were supported by the ‘Russian Journal of Communication’ editor-in-chief Prof. Igor Klyukanov, Dr Ben Peters, Dr Robert Couch and Prof. Marina Shilina. It’s not expected that forum will lead to intellectual coherence or terse summary; we hope for just the opposite. May everyone find here a wide range of arenas in which data and ethical behavior cannot be separated: at their heart of each contribution and its surrounding conversations beats the question how human relations (or, what it means to be human) interacts with data-lit transformations where humans abide (or, what it means to be data).

ABSTRACT This article takes the form of an analytical commentary by the developers of ‘Fiber’, a web project, which actualizes the potential to influence the intentionality of users’ attention. The application raises the question of shifts in cognitive reality in the wake of the ‘Data Revolution’, as well as the means by which digital tools may provide access to them. Attention has become one of the most important phenomena in the formation of social reality in the era of late capitalism. Fiber examines attention as data in the age of cognitive capitalism. This article posits a relationship between the visualization of invisible cognitive processes (‘iconoclastic imagery’), emergent means of access to them, and cognitive ethics – a way of processing data that in the predigital age belonged to the individual world of the subject, and now, having being converted into data, has been included in and co-opted by economic and communication exchange.

ABSTRACT Media art is an intensively developing zone, which allows us to rethink the relationship between data and ethics. More recently, only in Moscow, two major exhibitions took place in which a special role was assigned to media art: Hosting the Inhuman and Synthposium. Lately, participants of the 7th Moscow Biennale were announced. It is noticeable that majority of Russian artists included in this list are closely connected with the field of media art. Which tendencies do problematize digital behaviour and – as a consequence – the ethical dimension of ‘Data Turn’? What is the difference between ‘reflectory’ and ‘reflective’ media art? And in which way nowadays are new types of resources, rethinking the urban cyberinfrastructure, and search for new cognitive effects changing our experience?

ABSTRACT The authors developed a unique the Internet of Skills device ‘the Art Glove’ for piano artists augmented with a significant number of different types of sensors allowing tracking and tracing movement of every single finger phalange, finger and wrist as a whole. Then the measurements are transferred wirelessly to the Internet and stored in a cloud in a digital form. ‘The Art Glove’ helps to save and preserve the greatest pianists’ heritage, and to teach beginners. But is saving a soul, ‘dusha’, an important part of artistic performance, in the Internet of Skills? What then is the identity of an artist connected with an Art Glove? Implementation of the Internet of Skills in music and other creative sectors poses significant ethical questions.
