In 2022 I learned about FAIR data, the movement to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reproducible. One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]
Thanks to everyone who came to the triple book talk of three recent books on machine vision by James Dobson, Jussi Parikka and me, and thanks for excellent questions. Several people have emailed to asked if we recorded it, and yes we did! Here you go! James and Jussi’s books […]

I wanted the book […]

They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]
Whenever I give talks about ChatGPT and LLMs, whether to ninth graders, businesses or journalists, I meet people who are hungry for information, who really want to understand this new technology. I’ve interpreted this as interest and a need to understand – but yesterday, Eirik Solheim said that every time […]

Hej Jill,
Jag ar en svensk doktorand vid University of Texas at Austin, Department of Communication Studies. Jag har forskat en del om blogs och hamnade rakt pa din forskning. Jag antar att du vet om att Harvard skall halla en konference om blogging i November, 2004.
Hur som helst, ville bara halsa pa!
Skicka garna ett e-mail om du vill.
Halsningar,

Bergen is a lovely city. I visited in July and wish I could have stayed longer.
