  • @ebuswell said: This system was designed for sixteenth century European music, and when applied to other types of music, even distant relatives, well, this is the result. [ . . . ] Second, there is the way that this very general theoretical wor…

  • @mwidner said: What happens when we read poetry as code and assume that the mind of the reader is the "computer" processing the fuzzy linguistic instructions of a poem? [ . . . ] But the meaning, feelings, memories, and beauty each reader finds…
  • @rogerwhitson said: I think it would be worthwhile to delineate what "critical" might mean. It's used far too often, IMHO, without being specific - and mostly in a defensive posture against people who say that DH isn't critical. And apologies for…
  • @belljo said: @mwidner said: I'm a medievalist by training, so have studied a period that recognized labor, creativity, and predecessors in a way that seems to me far more applicable to our current conditions. [ . . . ] …
  • @belljo said: Humans do the same thing with each other, of course: creativity is subjective and two people with shared backgrounds and experiences will be less likely to find each others' work broadly creative than two people coming from…
  • @jeremydouglass said: One of the interesting questions that creative coding raises for me is whether this enlarged conceptions of CCS could be circumscribed as "a group of reading-centric approaches to software," with creative code is the object …
  • @alirachelpearl said: @markcmarino, I think the idea of discrete lenses in your comment felt troublesome for this reason. The assumption that there is a set of lenses and that we can/should/might only use one at a time. But the beauty of …
  • @mirsween said: For example, I have been personally pondering how framing topics as “power and code” or “identity and code” might allow for more fluidity and intersection of topics. What about the discursive moves of discussing “race and cod…
  • Thanks to @tonia_sutherland and @mirsween for raising this. I do see discussion of race arising in the "gender discussion" so hopefully we can keep building that in with intent and purpose and carry forward to include gender in the "race discussion."
  • For me this work raises a different and related question--and maybe one that ties together all 3 weeks of this workshop: Is it a coincidence that there is a move to see machines as creative in a period in which there is increased recognition that wo…
  • @eringlass said: I've been researching early-to-recent recent visions of a world connected by information (whether by books or networks) and have gathered up the usual suspects such as Diderot, Tesla, HG Wells, Vannevar Bush, and Benkler. Howeve…
  • @aparrish said: I also want to consider the idea that autocomplete is, fundamentally, a kind of assistive technology: it makes it easier for people to type, which is ultimately a worthy goal, I think. Thank you for this point! Autocomplet…
  • @nikki said: There's been a move among programmers (at least in my sphere) to switch from calling them "ranking algorithms" to "engagement algorithms." I think this makes it way clearer that systems are not always ranking content items by the sa…
  • @JudyMalloy your mention of trying the result for yourself makes me think about how these results are customized based on not only algorithms we can't see, but algorithms parsing our data bodies that we can't see or edit. Yours and @KIBerens and min…
