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 […]
Finally I can share what I’ve been working on! I absolutely loved writing this book, taking the time to dig deep into histories, ideas and theories that I think really help understand how machine vision technologies like facial recognition and image generation are impacting us today. I wanted the book […]

The Forum is a recently launched initiative from OpenAI that is meant to be “a community designed to unite thoughtful contributors from a diverse array of backgrounds, skill sets, and domain expertise to enable […]

They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]

More or less: the techies have arranged a competition where one, or possibly several, Olivetti 486 table models will be thrown. The events include precision throwing (throwing at targets) and length. IT-employees at the university and other interested parties are invited. 🙂 The images of Rolf test-throwing are most informative.

Thanks for the translation. You’ve just helped to make my day and that of about a dozen of my co-workers!

So, will you be starting up local computer throwing competitions, Fivecats? If enough people practice this new sport, it might become an Olympic event in a few years!
