Online Media Archeology as AI Critique: Wikipedia’s Links and Edits as Spatial and Temporal Fields
There have been many impulses to make sense of artificial intelligence, or what AI ‘is.’ We propose that media archeology on Wikipedia can aid in the sensemaking of AI. Wikipedia’s technicity - its linked article ecology together with its edit histories - makes it suitable to perform a media archeology, which already favors spaciousness and complexities. The starting point for the analysis is the ‘Artificial intelligence’ article on Wikipedia. We…
The Person Holding the Phone: Mobile Phones and Mediated Grief-Work
In this paper, I present a personal case study centered on my experience of attending my grandfather's funeral virtually in 2023. This event serves as a lens to explore broader themes of mediated grief work and the integration of digital media into experiences of death and mourning. Drawing on Bruno Latour's actor-network theory, I analyze the formation of temporary digital mourning assemblages, examining the ties that connect participants both o…
Queer ecological data: Where artificial intelligence meets the avian
Nonhuman life is increasingly analyzed and acted upon through big data and AI tools. Birds in particular are among the most datafied wild beings. However, avian—like human—data sets present challenges of bias, misclassification, and harmful collection methods. For example, avian data includes bias along lines of sex and sexuality, female, queer, and intersex birds are significantly understudied. These missing birds not only represent consequences…
Climate futures: Machine learning from cli-fi
This paper introduces and contextualises Climate Futures, an experiment in which AI was repurposed as a ‘co-author’ of climate stories and a co-designer of climate-related images that facilitate reflections on present and future(s) of living with climate change. It converses with histories of writing and computation, including surrealistic ‘algorithmic writing’, recombinatory poems and ‘electronic literature’. At the core lies a reflection about …
Transnational death and technological haunting
The paper proposes “technological haunting” as a concept in migration and transnational death studies. Existing theory and empirical work in media studies explore connections between new media and grieving practices and how affordances of co-presence and portability shape how people maintain bonds with the deceased. The unique considerations that “technological haunting” brings to the study of transnational families and death still need to be add…
Towards Becoming an Ecology of Care
Thinking about care in the organization of an ecology is central to the interdisciplinary research group Care Ecologies; found during a lockdown in the spring of 2021 and hosted by ARIAS Platform for Research Through the Arts and Sciences in Amsterdam. In Towards Becoming an Ecology of Care group members Valentina Curandi, Inte Gloerich, Ania Molenda, Maaike Muntinga, Natalia Sanchez Querubin, Nienke Scholts and Marloeke van der Vlugt, offer an i…
The social media life of climate change: Platforms, publics, and future imaginaries
Social media is a transformative digital technology, collapsing the “six degrees of separation” which have previously characterized many social networks, and breaking down many of the barriers to individuals communicating with each other. Some commentators suggest that this is having profound effects across society, that social media have opened up new channels for public debates and have revolutionized the communication of prominent public issue…
Connected Routes: Migration Studies with Digital Devices and Platforms
The article builds upon critical border studies for the study of the European migration crisis that take into account the digital, both in terms of telecommunications infrastructure and media platforms. In putting forward an approach to migration studies with digital devices, here the emphasis is shifted from 'bordering' to 'routing.' First, the current analytical situation is sketched as one where the 'connective' route is contrasted to the 'sec…
