TUTORIAL: HOW TO EXPLORE A NETWORK GRAPH OF ELECTRONIC Tutorial: How to explore a network graph of electronic literature in Gephi. Update July 2014: a newer dataset is available that includes 44 dissertations (here is the gephi file), and the final paper is now published: Rettberg, Jill Walker. 2014.“Visualising Networks of Electronic Literature: Dissertations and the Creative Works They Cite.” ebr: electronic book review, July 2014. FINAL VERSION OF WEBLOG DEFINITION final version of weblog definition. This is the definition of “weblog” I’ve written for the Routledge Encyclopedia of Narrative Theory, which is forthcoming in 2005.It’s limited in size and scope: I had to keep to a maximum of 500 words, including the references, and I wrote it for an encyclopedia of narrative.The asterixes indicate cross references to other entries in theencyclopedia.
ELECTION DAY
election day. I’ve been deliberately pretending not to notice the national elections (the somewhat conservative Norwegian paper Aftenposten has an English edition if you’re curious), because, well, I can’t vote though I’ve lived here for 25 years, no, I can’t vote unless I give up that possibility of maybe moving back to Australia one day. And if you’ve ever been in a situation REREADING FAHRENHEIT 451 Rereading Fahrenheit 451. Over the last year or so I’ve moved from reading mainstream news articles about media addiction to reading science fiction: I want to see how we imagine our relationship to technology. One of the biggest surprises, for me, was Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953), the classic about a society where books are illegal and television keeps people docile. RESEARCHERS ON SNAPCHAT Researchers on Snapchat. I’ve been posting research stories on Snapchat most weekdays this month, and I’m really enjoying it. I know it doesn’t fit with the ephemerality of Snapchat, but I’ve been saving the stories and posting them on YouTube in a special playlist so I can reuse them later, and so you can have a look if you want.. If you’re interested in how researchers could use RESEARCH ABOUT VISUAL SOCIAL MEDIA RESPONSES TO The images were immensely influential in Europe, but of course they were also spread elsewhere, particularly in Middle-Eastern cultures, where the pieta is not part of the cultural heritage. Auchlich notes this, mentioning that different images were more popular in non-Western sources. BOTTOM-UP VIRAL MARKETING? bottom-up viral marketing? In their campaign for a new camera, Nikon appear to have chosen an almost opposite marketing strategy to Coca Cola’s botched viral marketing campaign.Instead of making a fake amateurish video and posting fifty links to it from Norwegian discussion boards, Nikon picked out a small number of eager, amateur photos already posting their photos to the web and sent CALLING A CUSTOMER A BRAT: TWITTER AND THE DISTINCTIONS calling a customer a brat: twitter and the distinctions between public and private. So the latest fuss in the Norwegian social mediasphere is about Even Sandvold Roland, an 18-year-old in his final year of high school who wrote a tweet yesterday evening complaining that he couldn’t buy a song legally in Norway that was available in the US. A representative for Norwegian Warner Brothers BEING SEEN BY CINEMA ITSELF Being seen by cinema itself. For my book on machine vision I’m writing a little about Vertov’s wonderful 1924 manifesto written half in the voice of the camera – “I am kino-eye .

DIGITAL ART
Seeing brainwaves. Last week I was in London, where I visited Pierre Huyghe’s exhibition Uumwelt at the Serpentine Gallery. You walk in, and there are flies in the air, flies and a large screen showing images flickering past, fast. HOW WE POSE IN PHOTOGRAPHS: HAND SIGNS AND CULTURAL How we pose in photographs: hand signs and cultural differences. One of the highlights for me from the Association of Internet Researchers conference (#IR15) in South Korea last week was the extra-curricular learning. About many things, but in this post let me focus on what I learnt about selfie culture and visual, digital self-representations. RUNNING FOR VICE-RECTOR I’m running for Vice-Rector of International Relations at the University of Bergen! The University of Bergen elects the Rector team every four years, and in 2013, I’m running for Vice-Rector for International Relations with Kuvvet Atakan as candidate for Rector, Vigdis Broch-Due for Pro-Rector and Gottfried Greve as Vice-Rector forEducation.

WRITING PHOTOGRAPHS (#1YEARNOCAM) Writing photographs (#1YearNoCam) The visual turn on the internet has been evident for a few years now. Our cameras are computers, always in our pockets, always connected to the internet. HOSTILE MACHINE VISION Hostile machine vision. One of our goals in MACHINE VISION is to analyse how machine vision is represented in art, stories, games and popular culture. A really common trope is showing machine vision as hostile and as dangerous to humans. Machine vision is used as an effective visual metaphor for something alien that threatens us.

RATING TEACHERS AND DOCTORS HAS FINALLY REACHED NORWAY Rating teachers and doctors has finally reached Norway – with a lag and some cultural differences. Norway has had its own hot-or-not (Deiligst.no) for rating sexiness for ages, but we’re only now seeing the first sites that rate professional abilities: Legelisten.no lets patients rate their doctors, and Minlærer.no lets high school students rate their teachers.

The real title of this blog post is: GOOGLE IS YOUR FIRST READER: HOW TO WRITE RESEARCH PAPERS FOR MACHINES You see, after reading more about how Google selects its “Featured Snippets”, I learnt that in order to blog for machines (and thus get more human readers too) you should start with a question and then immediately follow with a short list. To be honest, I don’t even know whether the rules I’ve listed are what really work, but then, community folklore about how algorithms work is common (Bishop 2019, 2020
, van der Nagel 2018 ), so why not add to it. And yes, this is all a bit tongue in cheek. I do research on algorithmic culture, and so I’m fascinated by how algorithmic decisions are made. I want to understand how algorithms try to select what is the most important point of an academic paper. This is _not_ to say that we should all write our papers for machines and ignore human readers, or that we should optimise our research for google rather than aiming to primarily do robust and useful and interesting research. Write the paper you want to write. But if you’re interested in how algorithms and search engines are reading your papers, read on.Many

ENERGY MARKING FOR PRIVACY? I’m attending a two-day digital meeting of Personvernskommisjonen , the privacy commission tasked with surveying the state of privacy in Norway and recommending policy for the future. We just had professor of ICT and private law, Frederik Zuiderveen Borgesius, visit for
a short talk, and he raised some really pertinent points. The discussion was much richer than I’m able to summarise here, but I wanted to capture a few points. Borgesius argued that there is a fundamental information asymmetry in privacy online today, where consumers don’t know what data is collected about them or how it will be used or what the consequences could be. In economics, information symmetry tends to be bad not just for consumers but for everyone, as described by Nobel-prize winning economist George Akerlof in his analysis of “The Market for Lemons“. The lemons
are used cars, and of course typical consumers can’t really tell whether the car is a “lemon” or not. How do you reduce information asymmetries? Well, in supermarkets, we have systems that make sure all the food is safe to eat. There are also various labelling schemes, showing if food is healthy, organic and so on – but some of these are not very helpful, or are even designed to confuse us. Different countries have different laws. So for instance in Norway, the country that fruit and vegetables comes from has to be marked. But all countries have systems so you can trust that food in the supermarket isn’t poisonous. So we could imagine legally banning certain kinds of privacy-destroying websites. No collecting personal data for advertising on potentially sensitive sites, for instance, like sites about medical information. But where to draw the line? The articles I choose to read in a newspaper can also be used to infer very sensitive information about my sexuality, mental health or political standpoint,for instance.
Perhaps energy efficiency labelling of fridges and other electrical appliances is a better example? Here the EU has established clear guidelines, and they’re clearly displayed when youbuy a new fridge.
Could we imagine something similar for websites? And if so, how wouldit be implemented?
Arguably, this is what Apple is doing with its privacy labels for apps. I love being able to see this more clearly and in a structured way, and this is a reason I like using Apple products (although I realise that’s a privilege: they’re expensive, which is an issue if only the rich get privacy). But is it a problem that a commercial company is doing this for us, rather than it being democraticallydefined?
Not all labelling works. You need a lot of basic things in place. (The Norwegian Consumer Council has an overview of labelling in Norway that explains some of the issues.) You also need genuine competition so users have a real choice based on the labelling. That means you need data portability, so users can easily switch to a different social media platform forinstance.
Another
online pandemic meeting. Speaker’s face blanked out, it’s the privacy commission after all. We’re not concluding anything yet, and I’m sure there’ll be lots more discussions in the year to come. 09. March 2021 by Jill Categories: Uncategorized | Leave acomment
EXHIBITION SETUP!
OK, this is extremely exciting: the University Museum is making an exhibition about research in our Machine Vision in Everyday Life project! They’ve been working on it for months, and COVID has made everything look very iffy, but now it really looks as though it is nearly ready, and we hope to be able to open it on March 18. Fingers crossed there isn’t a new lockdown before then…Marit
Amundsen is one of the curators on the project. You’ll enter the exhibition through this tunnel, which will be lit up and “scan” you – then a mechanic guide (a talking head video) will greet you and instruct you to draw a card that gives you a specific role. You’ll view the exhibition from the point of view of your role – a wonderful touch that our larp development team came up with. (The actual larp is planned forNovember.)
Kurdin
Jacob and Magnus Knustad worked with the curators to map surveillance cameras and other tracking around Bergen. The exhibition is beautifully thought out. Our whole project team contributed ideas, with Andreas Zingerle, Linda Kronman
and Gabriele de Seta leading, and the curator team came up with excellent ideas for how to actually make the exhibition exciting to visit. The focus is on the research, but as we research art and games and narratives there are also a lot of artworks in the exhibition – I am thrilled we were able to include this, because there is a lot of evocative art that directly engages with or critiques machine visiontechnologies.
Eli
Hausken and Marit Amundsen looking at James Bridle’s nearly-fully installed artwork, _Cloud Index_.Mattias
and Eli working on getting the artwork set up – this is Forensic Architecture’s The Battle of Ilovaisk.
There are a lot of details involved with organising an exhibition. Thankfully the Museum are extremely professional, and Andreas was immensely helpful in coordinating with artists and so on (if any of the artists are reading this, your contracts are on the way, we had a few bureaucratic hurdles that are figured out now). I also loved learning how the museum curators work when designing an exhibition like this. This is the floor plan they developed after many conversations with the research team.The
floor plan for the exhibition. Sadly the University Museum isn’t able to accept school classes now due to COVID, which is a real shame, as this is an exhibition that would have been so well suited to school visits – and that is usually a major part of what the Museum does. If we’re lucky we’ll be able to have visiting school classes later this spring.This
will be on one of the walls. They let me hold it up for the photothough!
I’ll share more as the exhibition is closer to being ready to show! 26. February 2021 by Jill Categories: Uncategorized | Leave acomment
CAN I BLOG MY WAY OUT OF MY PANDEMIC SLUMP? I’m going to try to start blogging again, as a way to make myself more accountable to myself. I used to use my blog as a research journal, writing little bits and pieces and saving links and stray thoughts, and often I would use bits of blog posts when writing papers and books. People don’t really use blogs like that any more. Most blog posts are more like polished essays than thinking-while-you-write, or Thinking With My Fingers as Torill titled her blog years ago. Some people used their blogs to document their research process, but I used mine to _do_ my research . And to think about how to organise my days and my time, or how to deal with new responsibilities and tasks . Now I’m nearly 50 and nobody accuses me of looking like a student anymore as they did in 2005 (ha) and that outsider peeking into the ivory tower stance certainly doesn’twork anymore
.
I’ll have to find a new voice, perhaps, if I start blogging again. I started today by writing my notes about a novel I just read as a blog post instead of just for myself.One step at a time.
Maybe trying to write a short blog post every day is a way to get myself back into research, get myself back, after this pandemic slumpof a year.
25. February 2021 by Jill Categories: Uncategorized | 2 comments ROBOT MOTHERS: THE MOTHER CODE I’m fascinated by fleshy, emotional ideas about AI and robots . A lot of recent science fiction I’ve been reading explores this: what would a sentient, emotional AI be like? How would they experience the world? What would their material form mean? Would they love? So much of being human is about our bodily emotions and gut feelings and our physical responses to ourexperiences.
I just finished reading _The Mother Code_
by Carole Stiver. I found the book quite annoying in many ways, but towards the end there are some really interesting descriptions of the relationship between “the Mothers” and the children they have incubated, birthed and brought up. The Mothers are repurposed military bots, designed to nurture human babies after an out-of-control bioweapon kills all humans. Continue Reading → 25.

FORSKNING PÅ NEDKJØLINGSEFFEKTEN OG PERSONVERN (LIT. REVIEW OF RESEARCH ON THE CHILLING EFFECT AND PRIVACY) _I’m a member of Personvernskommisjonen,
a committee appointed by the Norwegian government to write a report that assesses the state of current privacy regulations and practices and gives recommendations on policies to meet current challenges to privacy (here is our mandate).
I was asked to have a look at research on the “chilling effect” and privacy, and to be honest, I got a bit carried away, because I really love exploring new research areas and seeing all the new connections, and constructing new searches and seeing how everything interconnects. This is the informal summary I wrote for the commission, with an annotated bibliography at the end. It’s in Norwegian, but if you don’t read Norwegian, Google will translate it reasonably well, and the bibliography mostly references English language research so you can scroll down to that as well. _ _Please let me know if you have suggestions or more to add! We have almost a year more to finish the report so will definitely be lookingfor more material._
NEDKJØLINGSEFFEKTEN (“the chilling effect”) oppstår “i situasjoner hvor UTØVELSE AV LEGITIME HANDLINGER INNSKRENKES ELLER MOTVIRKES GJENNOM TRUSSELEN OM MULIGE SANKSJONEr” (NOU 2016:19: Samhandling for sikkerhet).

CAN AN ALGORITHM FEEL EMOTION? _I gave a talk at the Moral Machines symposium in Helsinki last year, and just heard that a revised version of the talk will be published in an anthology tentatively titled _The Ethos of Digital Environments: Technology, Literary Theory and Philosophy_. The anthology is edited by Hanna-Riikka Roineand Susanna
Lindberg
and
will be published by Routledge, presumably in 2021 or 2022. Here is an excerpt from my draft of the chapter, where I explore the idea that there might not be that much difference between a neural network that can predict when a human would cry and that involuntary tightness we humans sometimes feel in our chests when we watch a sad movie._ Emotions are often conceived as the determining difference between humans and machines, and indeed, between groups of humans and whatever or whoever they wish to define as non-human. “They don’t have the same feelings we do,” the narrator imagines the wives thinking of the handmaids in Margaret Atwood’s novel (1986, 215); “they don’t seem to feel anything, no pleasure, no pain”, the Terrans remark of the indigenous people they rape and beat in Ursula le Guin’s _The Word for World is Forest_ (1972, 18).

SITUATED DATA ANALYSIS My latest paper, “Situated data analysis: a new method for analysing encoded power relationships in social media“, started out as
an analysis of the data visualisations in Strava, but ended up as something more ambitious: a method that I think can be used to analyse all kinds of digital platform using personal data in different contexts. Here is a video teaser explaining the key points of situateddata analysis:
This paper has been a long time in the works, and started off as part of the INDVIL project on data visualisations, where I was tasked with thinking about the epistemology of data visualisations. Working through revision after revision of my analyses of data visualisations in Strava I found that what really interested me about Strava was the many different ways that the personal data it collects from runners and cyclists are presented—or, more precisely, how the data are _situated_. Once I’d analysed the different ways the Strava data was situated, I realised that the same method could be applied to any social media platform, app or digital infrastructure that uses personal data. So I decided to change the focus of the paper so it was about the method, not just about Strava. Donna Haraway coined the term _situated knowledges_ in 1988 to demonstrate that knowledge can never be objective, that it is impossible to see the world (or anything) from a neutral, external standpoint. Haraway calls this fiction of objectivity “the god trick ,” a fantasy that omniscience ispossible.
With Facebook and Google Earth and smart homes and smartphones vastly more data is collected about us and our behaviour than when Haraway wrote about situated knowledge. The god trick as it occurs when big data are involved has been given many names by researchers of digital media: Anthony McCosker and Rowan Wilken write about the fantasy of “total knowledge ” in data visualisations, José van Dijck warns against an uncritical, almost religious “dataism “: a belief that human behaviour can be quantified, and Lisa Gitelman points out that “Raw Data” is an Oxymoronin her anthology on
the digital humanities. There is also an extensive body of work on algorithmic bias analysing how machine learning using immense datasets is not objective but reinforces biases in the data sets and inherent in the code itself (there are heaps of references to this in the paperitself if you’re
curious!).
Situated data analysis provides us with a method for analysing _how_ data is always situated, always partial and biased. In my paper I use Strava as an example, but let’s look at a different kind of data:how about selfies?

ANCIENT VISUAL TECHNOLOGIES Look, this is the oldest known mirror, reflecting the face of a woman holding it. It is 8000 years old and made from polishedobsidian.
I’m working on a book on machine vision , and I want to edit it all enough before summer that I can send it off for feedback. It is so hard to keep just editing though when I keep discovering these new fascinating facts! I had no idea that mirrors have been around for 8000 years. Or that crystal rock was used 4500 years ago to create lenses for eyes for Egyptian statues that are remarkably anatomically correct,
at least given possible knowledge of anatomy at the time. Continue Reading → 16. June 2020 by Jill Categories: Uncategorized | Leave acomment
