English abstract
The article interprets the algorithm as imaginary, that is, as a complex of meanings, affects and desires that unites —through dimensions of belief, magic, fetish, secret knowledge, liminality and trust— the individual experience and the social system, thus tying the "miracle" of the everyday effectiveness of the devices to the project of the society that sustains it. The analysis from the social imaginary (Castoriadis) allows us to approach the algorithm as a social and cultural phenomenon that connects and sutures different levels of the technological and the social.
Spanish abstract
El artículo interpreta el algoritmo como imaginario, es decir, como un conjunto de significaciones, afectos y deseos que une —a través de dimensiones de creencia, magia, fetiche, saber secreto, liminalidad y confianza— la experiencia individual y el sistema social atando así el "milagro" de la efectividad cotidiana de los aparatos con el proyecto de la sociedad que lo sostiene. El análisis desde el imaginario social (Castoriadis) permite acercarse al algoritmo como fenómeno social y cultural que vincula y sutura diferentes niveles de lo tecnológico y lo social.
