Circus Bazaar Magazine as a vocation

Shane Alexander Caldwell

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages! Thank you for having blessed the universally acclaimed and much anticipated first edition of Circus Bazaar magazine with your sought-after presence.

Catching tigers in red weather and the falling human

Zac Rogers

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

Lesley Seebeck

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

Michael Richardson

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.

Online and imploding on their smartphones

Matthew Ford

Launched in 2007, this one device now makes it possible to record events, find work, manage teams, locate ourselves on the planet, upload our experiences to social media, get a mortgage, read the newspaper, order a taxi, rent a holiday home, buy almost anything and get it delivered to our front door.

The circulation of power and ethics in AI, robotics, and autonomy research in Australia

Sian Troath

Key to unlocking these opportunities is solving or mitigating both the ethical and practical challenges associating with using such systems.

The Social Media Mirage

Mark Andrejevic

During the Delta wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, an octogenarian emeritus professor at the University of Georgia abruptly quit in the middle of a class he was teaching because a student refused to don a hygienic mask.

R.A. the Rugged Man: Dragon Fire

Shane Alexander Caldwell

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.

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.

The Radioactive Little Men

Shane Alexander Caldwell

Circus Bazaar Magazine has attracted the attention of an individual that seems to be making a statement of hostility towards our publication. What this means is unknown to us.

ELIZA, the paperclip maximizer: A story

Andrea Brennen

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.

R.A. the Rugged Man: Hate Speech

Shane Alexander Caldwell

A medieval poet is accused of corrupting the youth. He is arrested, tortured and executed by the clergy. History would eventually resurrect his story, but if history does not repeat, it certainly does rhyme. Watch as we follow the story of R.A the Rugged Man as he finds himself in the middle of a contemporary critique of iconoclasm.
