  1. Book review: Audiovisual Disruption: Post-Digital Aesthetics in Contemporary Audiovisual Arts

    Disclaimer: The publisher was sent to me by the publisher. Audiovisual Disruption: Post-Digital Aesthetics in Contemporary Audiovisual Arts offers a compelling exploration of the post-digital, providing a solid theoretical and practical foundation for understanding this critical concept. By situating the post-digital not as a mere chronological marker after digitalisation but as an entangled condition where digital, analogue, and material practices coexist, the book establishes itself as an essential resource for scholars and practitioners alike. Its initial chapters present a nuanced overview of the post-digital, making complex ideas accessible while laying the groundwork for the more specific focus on artistic practices…

  2. 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…

  3. The traveller of two worlds: a led-candle

    The other day I was sitting in a sauna* looking at a led-candle. It was the only flickering light in the darkening evening. At first, I didn’t give it too much attention: it flickered and provided a relaxing atmosphere. Then I started looking at the flickering, it was a bit random, not too much unlike the flickering of a real candle. Suddenly, I felt a slight breeze of cold air coming through the window and noticed that the led-candle did not react to it, but kept that same rhythm of random light flickering. At that point, it struck me. This…

  4. Misrecollection of forgetting’ -The absent minded programmers guide to machine learning

    “Programming is forgetting” teaches Allison Parrish, an NY-based artist, and programmer (Parrish, 2016). What she means is that by translating functions, actions and material into the digital world by programming we make compromises and forget the complexity of the world. Such accommodation is essential; otherwise, it would be very hard to create any digital programs. For instance, translating sound into digital form means choosing what components of the sound are vital and what are not. Same goes for digital photographs. We have to choose what is essential in the sounds or images and then translate that into repeatable procedures and…

  5. Grasping AI systems

    Together with Mikko Dufva , I have started working on a project that handles the disconnect between the sophisticated digital systems and the experience of them. In particular, we focus on the new artificial intelligence systems that are being brought into many fields of society -including education. This research project is a continuation from our article “Grasping the Future of Digital Society” that introduced the concept of digi-grasping and our view of embodied digitality. That article is accepted to the Futures-journal and will soon be published. However, below is our abstract and slides from Fera-conference on education , held at…
