Coming up Friday in San Diego! I (VJ Übergeek) will be playing at the Algorithmic Rave! An updated version of the new VJ Übergeek show, which is an updated version of the old CyberSpaceLand. In this era, Übergeek's textual guru/nemesis is an AI chatbot. (custom, local bot.)
Been working on Deep World — a custom LLM/chatbot I'm "training" on writers and thinkers who tried to make sense of difficult times.
Current installation version is a sort of secular pseudo sanctuary: (you talk, it types back. )

Love it! Very similar vibe to What the Robot Saw (in which the contrarian algorithm brings you the lovely normal stuff you've been missing because the other algorithm made it invisible... )

I remember when voting meant going behind a dirty curtain and cranking a bunch of levers like you were the goddamn Wizard of Oz. It was phenomenal.
To everyone who stares at me blankly when I mention something reminds me of the rotoscoping technique popularized by the old a-ha video: Now you can stare at me blankly while having a frame of reference.

Whoever invented Kmart’s “Double Take” method has to be considered the Thomas Edison of studio photography ...
Politics wasn't always negative. Or maybe it was. Here's a blast from the speculative past. Or how I remember the future.

Today, @SupNoraVargas held an emergency press conference claiming the air in South Bay SD is safe. Yesterday, I presented our findings at a presser showing continuous, multi-day measurements of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) well above the CARB ambient hourly standard of 30 ppb (1/8)
If you’ll be in Linz this week, I’ve got a new paper, Deep Hysteria: Toward a Constructive Approach to Algorithmic Bias in the Expanded Animation symposium at Ars Electronica on Friday Sept 6th.
