What is creatively acceptable AI? @JohanirvingS talking about friction with algorithms as a creative potential in the movie industry #NordicSTS @TANTlab #Will&Agency @MASSHINE_AAU

Academically "high" after a fantastic panel on Situating Democratic Futures at #NordicSTS2023, co-organized with @IrinaPa. Thanks to 6 amazing presenters 🙏 Great also to see the Democratic Situations book being picked up and used matteringpress.org/books/democrat…

Quantification processes CAN also be occasions for slowing down reasoning IF we design frames of participatory data design, argues @Anderskoed1 of @TANTlab in the quantification panel at #NordicSTS2023 @TIK_senteret

Are tools the metaphor we live by in digital methods? @communaut introducing logics of care to the instruments of digital STS-research. #NordicSTS

Rich presentation by @AndersKMunk and @jacomyma on doing fieldwork with generative AI models, asking classic comparative ethnographic questions such as what does a wedding look like? (it is always outdoors and white dress, according to Stable Diffusion). #NordicSTS2023
