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 […]
Last night I attended the OpenAI Forum Welcome Reception at OpenAI’s new offices in San Francisco. 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 […]
I’m thrilled to announce another publication from our European Research Council (ERC)-funded research project on Machine Vision: Gabriele de Setaand Anya Shchetvina‘s paper analysing how Chinese AI companies visually present machine vision technologies. They find that the Chinese machine vision imaginary is global, blue and competitive. De Seta, Gabriele, and Anya Shchetvina. “Imagining Machine […]

Careful! This is the kind of thing that Clay Shirky used as an example of his dismissive attitude towards LiveJournal blogs. (The actual quote “such as those “Which My Dinner With Andre? character are you?” quizzes that seem to rip through LiveJournal in a matter of hours.” Can be found at http://www.corante.com/many/archives/2003/04/28/dhtml_makes_the_man.php
The closest I’ve come, to this lately has been to ask about Gozilla monsters (http://www.livejournal.com/users/fivecats/58077.html) and to point out the great Sesame Street Terror Alert Chart (http://www.livejournal.com/users/fivecats/51977.html).
But, then again, the fates convened and thwarted my plans for a career in academics, and, as such, my blog is decidedly not an academic one and, therefore, doubtless, unread by Mr. Shirky. 🙂

Oh, I know, but hey, I already GOT my PhD, I’m entitled to some silliness now 🙂
Nah, usually I ignore these tests, but I seem to be in a testy mood this week. You should see my collection at Tickle. It’s quite impressive.
