So proud to finally announce a project I have been organizing for the past 3 years. An enormous and endless thank you to the artists, galleries, and researchers who have collaborated with me on this ambitious effort. Save the date(s), and see you in Boston, Vancouver, and Lexington this spring. ✨

I had to save this for

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

the wonderful critical coding cookbook is now available as an #openaccess pdf ✨🫧💜 criticalcode.recipes featuring recipes from @xinemata.bsky.social @ann9na.bsky.social @joanachicau.bsky.social @renick.bsky.social @rouxpz.bsky.social @autolumi.bsky.social @anu1905.bsky.social @drs.bsky.social & more

Jumping right in here with a collab opportunity: 📣 Looking for a print and web designer to collaborate this spring on a catalog project for a series of three exhibitions I am organizing across the US and Canada. This may also extend to helping devise the graphic identity for these shows. (cont'd)

I find myself getting overwhelmed much more easily these days than pre-March 2020. Things move too quickly for me now (including, sometimes, my own head).

passed my proposal defense this morning - I'm officially ABD now. endlessly grateful to my committee: @johnljacksonjr, @bzelizer, @whkchun, @cshirky and jessa lingel (not on twitter). so excited about moving forward on this project!

Excited to announce a new article in New Media & Society, "Share and share unlike: reciprocity, corporate power and the open source ethos"! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…

Excited to share a timely article in the latest issue of Media-N:I discuss two of my political (and Trump-related!) art projects, and explore how the use of remix leads to a destabilizing of narratives surrounding political and cultural norms. iopn.library.illinois.edu/journals/media…

Does anyone ever get to the point where they submit work NOT thinking it's complete trash? If so when does that happen? Asking for a friend #AcademicChatter #phdlife #phdstudent

Been keeping quiet on social media throughout this whole ordeal, but on a personal level I am feeling like the choice to move to Philly 2+ years ago was fated somehow.

both, simultaneously, all the time. t.co/4VgJJZB9Mh

In the midst of all of the chaos in the world, I will be presenting my work during the @eyebeamnyc Rapid Response fellowship on Tuesday afternoon, as part of a week-long program on the amazing #EyebeamRR cohort. RSVP here: rapidresponse.eyebeam.org

I was 34 when I started my PhD program and harbored a crippling insecurity for most of the first semester for being “behind”.

taking a social media break while I finish up some projects this month. I’m reachable on email, by text/phone, and messenger (not FB itself tho). see you on the other side ✌🏽

have been sitting on the tarmac at charlotte airport on this @AmericanAir flight for over TWO HOURS, ama

.@gmail can update my ads from a single email I send but can't be bothered to change a contact's preferred name in the autofill settings, even though I've been emailing this person with the correct one for literal YEARS.

rejection season is always difficult for artists, but i have been having a particularly rough one this year, to the point where i have flirted on occasion with the idea of giving up my art career. (1/)

.@AnnenbergPenn love at the northernmost point in denmark: where the baltic and atlantic collide. #ASCsummerculture @ASCmediarisk @ZaneGTCooper @jeanna_sybert @ILangrock

new low: anxiety dreams about checking twitter after your talk

in minneapolis for @eyeofestival and doing some last-minute prep for my ignite talk tomorrow night! i'll be discussing dataDouble, identity, visibility and protest. can't wait for this!

really thankful for the decision made to livestream the #CriticalRaceDigitalStudies conference. i couldn't make it down to DC today but i'm so glad to still get to hear this conversation.

super excited to be speaking about new media art at @ICAPhiladelphia in july as part of their “extra credit” summer series. if you are in philly then, please come! would love to see you! icaphila.org/events/extra-c…

the me in my anxiety dreams has transitioned from a teacher (students staging a mutiny during a lecture) back into a student (tanking a class i wasn’t enrolled in), so i’m taking this as a sign my brain has finally caught up to my life as it is now.

special thanks to everyone who has supported this project so far, including @haverfordhcah and PACC, @whkchun, students and faculty at @AnnenbergPenn and everyone who has participated to date!

.@HNissenbaum on data obfuscation: it is contingent on the environment it exists in and is tailored to the specific problem it is addressing. obfuscation cannot be a "one size fits all" solution. #digidemsfu

.@laurakurgan discussing the @c4sr_columbia analysis of Weibo users in China who use images as a way of subverting censorship -- a trend that is continuing on WeChat today through the use of stickers (hi to all my shanghai ppl!). #digidemsfu

.@safiyanoble points out that though it’s been marginalized groups (WOC, feminists, LGBTQ communities) that have opened up conversations around ethics and AI, they are now being erased from the conversation #digidemsfu

.@katecrawford addressing #digidemsfu remotely, discussing the politics of machine images; “who gets to decide how images are categorized and described is a question of power and hierarchies”

.@sarahrsharma astutely points out that a lot of media studies scholarship ends up reproducing what is already on the market. how do we break away from that while still remaining legitimate? #digidemsfu

philly’s @mediamobilizing getting a shout out in nick dyer-witheford’s talk, in connection with algorithmic bias-busting. #digidemsfu

. @lnakamur: ethics and AI/empathy and VR go together like PB&J. the assumption is that programmers just need to be taught the “right kind of feelings” to make better things. #digidemsfu

incredibly excited to be attending @eyeofestival as an artist fellow this year! i've been dying to go to this one forever, can't wait to hear from some amazing artists and technologists.

here we go, going to try and use twitter again for things other than API scraping and demos for class. we'll see if it sticks this time.

Test for an example app for class.

shoutout to @2DopeQueens for making me lol on the shanghai subway today and get stared at for something *other* than the fact i am brown.

just saying. anything you want to comment on, @SpeakerRyan?

also tfw the thing that motivates you back into python is building a scraper for this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/115th_Uni…

tfw you haven't used python in months and are trying to get your head back in it after spending those months in javascript

just a gentle reminder that in 2018, all 435 seats in congress are up for grabs. KICK @SpeakerRyan OUT. slate.com/blogs/the_slat…

to that end: petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/immed…

i have to say, even though delays out of CLE have made me over 24 hrs late getting to china, @Delta's customer service has been amazing.

tfw you make the rookie mistake of not switching out your oauth keys before handing an API example to students @jdiedrick @gabebc @alv9n
