Deep Culture

Research project interested in the relations between deep-learning technologies and cultures. We study the global transformations that deep learning has wrought on culture and how culture is in turn key to deep learning.

We are excited to report that we have started developing our first *Little Tools of Difference*.
While deep learning has been driven by a culture of uniformity, we asked: What if we used these same state-of-the-art architectures to do the opposite?
More prototypes are coming soon, so stay tuned!

How to move along with the audiovisual, vibey, and AI-infused feeds of today's platforms? In this new article with @ddzeeuw.bsky.social and Tommaso Venturini, we theorize 'digital rhythmanalysis' as a potential new quali-quantitative approach to measure and 'feel' rhythms online: bit.ly/pns-dra

Our research was covered by the Dutch public broadcaster NOS:
With @best.wel.moe and @nieuwsuur.nl, we studied Google's AI Overviews for political searches in the NL. We found that larger parties often benefit and that Google changed its use of AI Overviews *three times* during the run-up to the Dutch elections.

Google zet gekleurde AI-antwoorden midden in campagnetijd aan, uit, en weer aan
GroenLinks-PvdA, D66 en de VVD worden in de antwoorden op algemene politieke vragen het vaakst genoemd. Kleinere partijen komen veel minder vaak aan bod.

Keywords are not neutral.
With Tobias Blanke, we investigate the power of keywords as interpretive tools in our work "Keywords in Digital Humanities: A critical assessment of computational techniques for mapping security and freedom in historical debates".
