Emerging and sustaining infrastructures of care
In this commentary, we examine the concept of “infrastructures of care”, exploring how they emerge and are sustained through academic-practitioner collaborations in the context of climate action and sustainability. Drawing on our experiences of workshop-based collaboration, we argue that beyond disciplinary alignments and institutional agendas, a sharing of ethical commitments is central to fostering meaningful and long-term collaboration and par…
Emerging Voices in Landscape Research
In 2021, the journal Landscape Research began to reorient itself around an ethos of care. This reorientation led to: a call to adopt more ‘care-full’ reviewing practices; the shaping of new policie
Truth machines
As AI technologies are rolled out into healthcare, academia, human resources, law, and a multitude of other domains, they become de-facto arbiters of truth. But truth is highly contested, with many different definitions and approaches. This article discusses the struggle for truth in AI systems and the general responses to date. It then investigates the production of truth in InstructGPT, a large language model, highlighting how data harvesting, …
(Re)framing built heritage through the machinic gaze
Built heritage has been both subject and product of a gaze that has been sustained through moments of colonial fixation on ruins and monuments, technocratic examination and representation, and fetishisation by a global tourist industry. We argue that the recent proliferation of machine learning and vision technologies create new scopic regimes for heritage: storing and retrieving existing images from vast digital archives, and further imparting t…
Structured like a language model
Drawing from the resources of psychoanalysis and critical media studies, in this article we develop an analysis of large language models (LLMs) as 'automated subjects'. We argue the intentional fictional projection of subjectivity onto LLMs can yield an alternate frame through which artificial intelligence (AI) behaviour, including its productions of bias and harm, can be analysed. First, we introduce language models, discuss their significance a…
Reconstruction of heritage in Bhaktapur, Nepal
Purpose Cultural heritage, specifically built heritage – including monuments, urban ensembles, religious and palatial complexes – has emerged as a central focus of tensions and negotiations within the post-disaster recovery landscape in Nepal following the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake. This not only reflects a growing recognition of heritage within international disaster risk management frameworks, but also responds to the critical role played by herit…
Dimensional Statistics for Estimation of Lung Volumes
The theory of dimension has been widely used in physics to check the validity of formulae. This theory has not been used more frequently in statistics as compared to physics for development of various prediction formulae/equations in applied physiology. An attempt has, therefore, been made in the present investigation to evolve formulae for estimation of lung volumes from cubic function of height based on dimensional considerations in boys and gi…
