In the digital humanities, "algorithmic culture" is part of an emerging synthesis of rigorous software algorithm driven design that couples software, highly structured data driven design with human oriented sociocultural attributes.[citation needed] An early occurrence of the term is found in Alexander R. Galloway classic Gaming: Essays on Algorithmic Culture[1]
Other definitions include Ted Striphas'[2] where AC refers to the ways in which the logic of big data and large scale computation (including algorithms) alters they culture is practiced, experienced and understood."[3][clarification needed].
A starting point for modern discussion of culture is attributed to Edward Burnett Tylor in his 1871 works on
