🖥️ How are Algorithms changing the way we see the world?
This week’s recommendation includes «Machine Vision» by Jill Walker Rettberg from 2023.
Rettberg was the keynote speaker at our winter school on AI Methods last week: mediacoop.uni-siegen.de/de/ver
Machine Vision unpacks how technologies such as smart surveillance cameras and TikTok filters are changing the way we see the world and one another. We say: Have a re-read!

We are excited about tomorrow's keynote by Jill Walker Rettberg, talking about "Qualitative methods for analysing generative AI: Experiences with machine vision and AI storytelling".
The keynote is part of our Mixed Methods Winter School on “AI Methods: From Probing to Prompting”, which centers on the implications of AI methods for new forms of sense-making and human-machine co-creation.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our fantastic closing conference “Cultural Heritage Data & Power” and made it such an incredible and enriching event! It was an engaging 3 days of discussion, reflection and feminist community building that will hopefully be the prelude to further exchanges.

Let's continue to explore how to tell different stories differently - in film history & beyond✨

We are very proud & happy to welcome over 70 participants from 10 countries to the beautiful city of Marburg for our closing conference “Cultural Heritage Data & Power”!

Starting this afternoon, we are excited to bring together a diverse community of scholars and practitioners to critically examine the intersections of data, power, and cultural heritage in digital contexts.
