# About the topic of institutional tinkering
Our epoch could arguably be thought of as one of “total bureaucratization” (Graeber 2015), one where most democratic institutional processes appear as hollowed out, functioning as merely ceremonial affairs (Crouch 2016) while resources and opportunities are administered via computerized “pattern discrimination” (Apprich, Chun, Cramer, Steyerl 2018). Access to social welfare, benefits and support are increasingly regulated by a stratified bureaucracy and means-testing, moving us further away from the universal provision of welfare. Despite the rapid spread of digital tools in the last decades, one that at its inception was heralded as a means for eliminating “paper work” and streamlining effectiveness, systemic demands on individuals to comply with often cumbersome and invasive procedures of reporting and verification have not decreased, but multiplied.
