Just used this while facilitating an artist's residency encouraging them to challenge narratives about AI: used the Du Bois anecdote about his very intentional choices re: exhibiting to explain how to imagine the phenomenological relationship to data in space. They're keen to read it now!

Sure, but a damaging one after a point, no? As @roopikarisam.bsky.social said upthread, we know this but the ostensible truth claim of it can be damaging to those when applied to contexts for which it is not appropriate.

Yes! Exactly the hope with my current project about indigeneity + small language models :) if communities are sharing knowledge, and we’re thinking of that as “data” - I’m interested in how they are semantically imagining that knowledge; I’m hoping that we’ll find smthg cognate but different.

Haha, but I’m grateful for you allowing yourself to be briefly distracted, this is so useful tysm. For me there’s *smthng* between the commons and what we call data but I’m guessing I’ll probably find the answer when your book comes out :D

@roopikarisam.bsky.social @laurenfklein would love to hear from you on this!

Yay! Would love to hear your thoughts 💗

somewhat: just the representation of the language is not sufficient, though. I'm keen to see how comprehensively it covers dialects, slang, colloquialisms -- have you had a chance to explore that further?

That's an ex student :D

Zahra Rizvi and Xenia Zeiler might be good bets too...
