As algorithms create echo chambers, cultural critics can launch “cultural counter-experiments” to foster open-mindedness. For instance, they might challenge K-pop fans to listen to opera for a week or encourage action movie enthusiasts to explore classic silent films. These experiments disrupt routine preferences, exposing audiences to unfamiliar genres and perspectives. Critics can document participants’ reactions, hosting discussions that reveal how different art forms influence thoughts and emotions. By intentionally broadening cultural exposure, critics help combat algorithmic bias, promoting a richer, more diverse cultural landscape.
