Walking the dog in latent space at University of Bochum
Presentation with Thomas Hawranke
As part of a Menagerie of Virtual Animals at the University of Bochum, Thomas Hawranke will present some work-in-process in which we approach the latent space of neural network image classification and generation by looking at the Yorkshire Terrier. Under the title “Gassi gehen im latent space / Walking the dog in latent space” we will try to shed some light on the technological and cultural role of animals (and the Yorkshire Terrier in particular) in contemporary artificial intelligence.
Matters of knowing
(Un-)translatables in Design Research?
Workshop at the Design Research Society conference 2022, Bilbao
The team of KISDedition, represented by Simon Meienberg and myself, is part of the DRS2022 conference, conducting a workshop on publishing design research, and its unpublishable residues.
Continue readingComputers all the Way Down at Conversations with Computers, Linz
I’ll be part of Conversations with Computers, a 2-day symposium organized by the net-culture initiative servus.at in cooperation with the University of Art and Design Linz. The symposium addresses contemporary artistic research in the field of AI, focusing on new languages that emerge between humans and machines, but also how work and communication are facilitated through technological means.
Continue readingPolitics of the Machines: Rogue Research
In an intervention at the international conference Politics of the Machines: Rogue Research, students of KISD and HS Augsburg present work that critically deals with machine learning and artificial intelligence. The presentation titled “Training to Deal with Otherness” is the result of the work in three study programs dealing with design and/of technology: the Integrated Design BA and MA program of KISD, the Code & Context program of TH Köln, and the Hybrid Things Lab of Hochschule Augsburg.
