I try to take pictures of grand scenes, of mountains, cityscapes and fjords, but the images I capture contradict my eyes, foregrounding insignificant objects that I look right past. So I return to small things where the camera’s eye chooses aspects that complement rather than contradict what I see. When I took this photo the sun was shining and the raindrops were sparkling prisms. The camera chose to portray a darker, more ominous picture. Or perhaps it was the leaf, refusing to be caught. |

Have you tried playing with the mini version of DALL-E yet? It’s fun! What DALL-E does is generate wonderful images from written prompts, using a neural network trained on images scraped from the internet that have English language captions attached to them. […]
Call for submissions to a workshop, Bergen, Norway
Workshop dates: 15-17 August 2022

The Machine Vision in Everyday Life project invites proposals for an interdisciplinary workshop using qualitative approaches and digital methods to analyse how machine vision is represented in art, science fiction, games, social media and other forms of cultural and aesthetic expression.
For the Machine Vision in Everyday Life project we’ve analysed how machine vision technologies are portrayed and used in 500 works of fiction and art, including 77 digital games, 190 digital artworks and 233 movies, novels and other narratives. You can browse […]
I think you should learn R! No really – I’ve spent the last 6-7 weeks learning R so I can visualise the data we’ve collected in the Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives, and it’s not as hard as […]
I’m a visiting scholar at the University of Chicago this year, affiliated with the Center for Applied AI at Booth School of Business. I’m excited about the opportunity to learn from a different disciplinary approach to AI and machine vision. I discovered […]
I’m giving a talk at an actual f2f academic conference today, Critical Borders, Radical Re(visions) of AI, in Cambridge. I was particularly excited to see this conference because it’s organised by the people who edited AI Narratives A History of Imaginative Thinking […]

It’s actually quite funny that people who get digicams often end up taking loads of detail pics, because here they can control the motif.
Capturing the grand view is an art which requires great skill.

And perhaps when you take photos with an analogue camera you don’t know until afterwards that the grand view was a failure… so you take more, every time you travel. The digital camera tells you straight away that you got it wrong.
