A selection of rather wonderful student projects, with lots of creativity and skill and obvious enjoyment:

  • Sykkelturen 2004: Documenting and promoting three lads cycling from the North Cape to Sicily.
  • Turan.dot: A presentation of the opera.
  • Project Mayhem: A fiction piece (thank goodness) about four blokes planning, well, mayhem. I think they robbed a bank on May 17. Must have been very successful since the papers didn’t report it. I’m particularly happy that a group tried their hands at a real electronic narrative.
  • Baltisk biltur: A guide to the Baltic told as fictional postcards sent home with facts along the way.
  • Gatekunst.net: Grafitti, tagging and stencils from the streets of Bergen.
  • Magasin for etterp?•klokskap: A scientific journal for, well, hindsight.
  • You think you know…: A charmingly chaotic concoction of girltalk about being girls, boys , sex and flirtation.

I’ll post the complete list to the class blog soon – there’s a lot of good work been done!

    I’m impressed! Your students did some great work this semester. I’m going to have my multimedia students take a gander to see what can be done over the course of a semester with hard effort.

    ehm.. four lads in Project Mayhem…

  4. Elin

    Perhaps one was documenting and three were biking…

  5. Elin

    Actually, I see only three..

  6. Elin

    Um, oops. Thought you meant the biking trip. Sorry…:-)

    You’re right, Daniel, of course, must have been the late night pre-travelling confusion came over me… Fixing it now.

    Water actually fried your hard drive? Wow. I would have thought the laptop might be messed up but the hard drive itself would have been okay.

    Water fried the hard drive and the logic board…. $987. Yup. YeeHAA!

25 years since September 11

I’ve been reading through my blog posts on September 11, 2001 and the days that followed. The things that stand out to me – in addition to the horror of the attack itself – are how massively we (or at least I) used the web to understand what was happening, […]

AI STORIES

AI-generated stories have longer endings than human stories

My colleague Jessica Witte has just shared a preprint where she compared the emotional arcs of the stories we generated using gpt-4o-mini to those of human-authored (pre-2022) stories from the subreddit r/WritingPrompts, conveniently gathered in this dataset. She found a distinct difference in the endings of the LLM-generated stories: both […]

How to peer review a paper in 2026

Dorothy Bishop, a psychologist, wrote a useful list of what reviewers need to look out now that so many papers are bad science that looks good thanks to LLMs. Read her whole blog post, she explains it well, but here’s a brief version because I’m pretty sure we’ll be needing […]

“So what if it was ChatGPT? It *could* have been true!”

I recently read a good article on the different kinds of truth a language model operates with by Luke Mann, Liam Magee and Vanicka Arora, Truth Machines: Synthesizing Veracity in AI Language Models, but despite its lovely typology of truths (consensus, correspondence, coherence and pragmatic) it doesn’t help me with […]

AI STORIES

AI shimmer and sparkle

I have this hunch that sparkles and glow and shimmer are somehow a point in the latent spaces of LLMs that have more connections than you would expect. Perhaps their connotation to magic and to the unknown matches some of the mystique of genAI? Or perhaps these words are used […]
