transformative processes
- transforming knowledge
- creating new file
- creating new »content«
- new possibilities of processing (OCR, analysis…)
- revealing information layers (printing technique)
- turning an analog medium into a digital file
- change of object, color, pages, reading flow
- Kantian model of the book (object, that’s sellable & knowledge)
- Chartier
- display is changing
- reproducing the reproduced (Walter Benjamin -> next level)
scanning as a tool
- creating graphics / visuals out of scanned pages
-> draw an image from a scanned book pages -> AI? drawing images / abstract / concrete / emotion
- missuse -> new unexpected results
big data
- generating new data
(endless data generation)
- what data is selected?
- how to find sth. in that data (analysis)?
- FILTERS
bubbles
- we live within a given framework
- selection of texts leads to an opinion
- filter
- idea: chatbot trained only from scanned book pages
- sherry turkle?
light-sensitive color
- print with light-sensitive color
-> see nothing / image when scanned or -> see the text when scanned, but it disappears after scanning
More
Access to…
- digitale books
- analog books
- who has access / who hasn't and why?
- how easy is access (com. digital / analog)
Adding/Deleting/Altering information of existing books
- (piracy - connected to anonymous )
Feminist Methodologies
How digitization is changing the view on sexism/feminism
- books become searchable and more connected
- quantitative method (counting women vs. counting men)
Feedback
- scanned material to train an algorithm > a chatbot trained on the books that are scanned > ref to Google Books (and to failed twitterbot)
- always limited resources as input
- What happens if you train this chat bot on a book, not on social media material
Connecting to the reader
- What is lost, what is gained by scanning
- forensic materiality to more performative materiality
- "Not enough data" as a mantra to promise that the algorithm gets better
- The scanner as a mediator to use other types of data

Enron company, the Enron dataset https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~enron/ datasets that are used often also shape the language, a standardized way to assess 'natural' language leaked data used for machine learning Sam Lavigne and Tega Brain: The Good Life https://www.newmuseum.org/calendar/view/1258/the-making-of-natural-language (there is also a video recording of the event)

Train chatbot on dataset -> extremist references -> introduction on
the database / data-usage
how does the data influence the algorithm?
where data for algorithms is coming from -> books / internet -> training AI
how is the data being selected?
-> you can not see the data in the background
-> you do not know what Google uses its data for
Feedback Steve
- Protocol by Alexander Gallaway (how interface is organized)
- Software takes command (serve interests of several groups)
- Sorting Things Out
- Literacy and its consequences
