Definition
The process by which one's network of technosocial engagements and identity produces work or material that becomes well-known in a network. Also, a machine set in motion for producing notoriety and fame.
Analog World
"The Recognition Amplifier (Famous Machine). A machine capable of increasing the fame of of a human being placed inside it. Research abandoned due to physical danger" [1].
Digital World
Behind every famous machine is a switching machine. More efficient machines get others to switch for them. Is a switching machine equal to a famous machine?
Paige Saez says, "Google this sentence: Like the artist, the networked self is an aggregator of information flows, a collection of links to others, a switching machine...it's a lovely rabbit hole".
