Catching tigers in red weather and the falling human
Every technology comes to be used to meet the needs of its time. Those needs interact with the often hidden-from-view affordances that reside in the tech to radically skew the intentions with which it might have been conceived and developed.
On Data, Devices and Daemons
The world changed in 2007. It’s hard to imagine now, but there was a time before smartphones. The breakthrough device, of course, was the iPhone. We’d had constant availability, whether through Blackberries, HTC devices or Nokias before then.
Witnessing Algorithms and the Paradox of Synthetic Media
Synthetic media are everywhere. Digital images and objects that appear to index something in the world but do nothing of the sort have their roots in video games and online worlds like Second Life.

R.A. the Rugged Man: Dragon Fire
A music video produced for certified legends of Hip Hop Wu-Tang Clan, Kool G Rap, R.A. the Rugged Man and Xx3eme. Set in Queens, New York City in the early 1980s, we follow the blood-thirsty “Dragon Fire”, as he avenges the brutal rape and murder of the beautiful Kara Fire by battling street thugs, deadly ninjas and a Rothchild orgy before facing down the Big Boss on top of an abandoned print shop.

STS, platform capitalism and the conundrum of expertise
They might be loath to admit it, but many Science and Technology Studies [STS] scholars today long for the halcyon days of the so-called “Science Wars” of the 1990s. Back then, those scholars were relatively united in their defenses against a loos…

ELIZA, the paperclip maximizer: A story
An unspecified government agency released a set of decoded log files [see below], recovered from an accident at an AI research lab. According to an eyewitness who visited the site, an “unusually large” heap of paperclips towered over the wreckage.

Who’s The Leader of the Free World?
When I co-wrote and edited a book of essays during my university days in 1994, called Security of Eastern Europe: The Case of Ukraine, I could not possibly have imagined that the individual around whom the democratic world would ultimately unite, in a clear stance against the global advance of tyranny, would come from Ukraine. In fact, the question was barely up for debate: The leader of the free world was the President of the United States, of course! But we are no longer living in 1991, when the United States emerged…
West World
The Kremlin has been burning for an anti-western global project for decades. Before coming to the current and relatively strong concept of a multipolar world order, the Russian state actively experimented with different ideas and brands. The revival of the Russian Empire, BRICS (Brazil–Russia–India–China–South Africa), USSR 2.0, the Russian World, the Union with Belarus, and the Eurasian Economic Union: these ideas have been implemented with varying success by the Kremlin’s technologists. Some of these projects, despite their volatile representations, were mundane, like the concepts of second-rate products on Kickstarter, which…
Are We Automating the Banality and Radicality of Evil?
By Anja Kaspersen, Kobi Leins & Wendell Wallach When George Orwell coined the term “totalitarianism,” he had not lived in a totalitarian regime but was merely imagining what it might look like. He referred to two primary traits of totalitarian societies: one is lying (or misinformation), and the other is what he called “schizophrenia.” Orwell wrote: “The organised lying practiced by totalitarian states is not, as it is sometimes claimed, a temporary expedient of the same nature as military deception. It is something integral to totalitarianism, something that would still continue even if…
