To new connections, welcome to Bluesky! I'm an artist and media researcher developing a historical context for emerging technologies such as AI. If you're into the intersection of the visual with computational processes I'd love to be in touch.

😂 yes, exactly, and although we do this sometimes in contexts where it’s really misplaced, I love that the instinct is there

This is a really interesting line of thinking. I wonder a bit the same about our need to anthropomorphise things, it’s dangerous but I also want to see it as a sweet drive to empathize

You had me at evil rectangles😅

Rosemary Lee @machineagency.bsky.social · 28d

No worries 😁

Rosemary Lee @machineagency.bsky.social · 28d

Do you know the names of who did this? I have students and colleagues who would probably love to reference this

Rosemary Lee @machineagency.bsky.social · 29d

Yes, exactly 😞

Unfortunately the US is full of violent right-wing extremists looking for an invitation to do this to people who uphold democracy.. so trying this at home could go really badly

We could get most metals for clean energy without opening new mines
