  1. Digital ”äger rum”: om den post-digitala världen

    Tomi Slotte Dufva: Hej = Hello. From Drawing a Day series: https://drawing.plumbing Idag är det Svenska dagen. Därför tänkte jag skriva ett blogginlägg på svenska. Today we celebrate Finnish Swedish Heritage day and to join the celebrations I wrote a little piece in Swedish. Digital ”äger rum”: om den post-digitala världen ”Vi lever i en digital värld”, börjar förvandlas till en kliché, men det är visserligen ändå sant. En snabb googling berättar att digitalisering förändrar språket⁠¹, hur företag utvecklas⁠², att digitaliseringen förändrar hela ”vår värld”⁠³ och ”allt”⁴.⁠ En likadan förändring finns också inom utbildning, utbildningsstyrelsen har till exempel hållit workshops…

In our article we argue for a more embodied understanding of digital technologies is needed to participate in the discussion of the digital world; without experiental, embodied understanding, it can be difficult to comprehend what digital is and how it affects as well as appears in one's…

  4. Being digital

    From my drawing blog. This post was inspired by two articles I read recently. I Highly prompt you to read them. I Am Capital by Hannes Grassegger The Data That Turned the World Upside Down by Hannes Grassegger & Mikael Krogerus For a while now, my research on creative coding has become increasingly focused on the ways we perceive and experience digitality -or the lack thereof.

    Big Data, Small Politics

    Evgeny Morozov recently gave a talk on the relationship of digital technologies and their relationship with societal and political systems in Collegezalencomplex Radboud University, Nijmegen. It's a lomg talk, but worth a watch. Even the first half an hour sheds light to the complex problems that may arise when internet-solutionism and data surveillance are married with governments that outsource more and more of their services to private sector. ​

  6. Thoughts on digital citizenship

    Last week I took part in Creative Citizens conference at Royal College of Arts in London. It was two days filled with interesting talks and presentation all based on creative citizenship. Creative Citizens is a research project and has three main themes: hyperlocal publishing, community-led design and creative networks. I think all of the different themes were nicely portrayed, and talks gave a nice variety on different topics. These sort of projects that fuse together different fields from politics, education to art is something I would like to see happen in Finland also. Nevertheless, after the conference I started to…
