  In the present article, we analyse the process of making the artwork Machine Learning I II III (2018) by Danish artist Amalie Smith to examine how it conceptualizes a posthuman myth about computer vision and AI. Smith’s artwork investigates the phenomenon of computer vision through using a convolutional neural network to represent what this network is thought to “see”. The artwork is an aesthetic manifestation of the invisible operations of the machine learning algorithm in a form that is visible to humans, and thereby it engages aesthetic speculations about how computer vision works. The artist provides an insight into how machine learning algorithms interpret images in a way that is radically different from humans, but at the same time greatly affects human reality because of the algorithmic culture that permeates contemporary societies. We read Machine Learning I II III with posthuman thinkers Rosi Braidotti, Donna Haraway and N. Katherine Hayles to show how Smith imagines a co-creative relationship between human and technology that neglects a myth about “machine” and “human” as distinct and isolated categories; a myth where symbols, human and algorithmic intelligence, weaving, and written discourse intertwine to make the artwork. In this way, Machine Learning I II III moves towards a posthuman myth of computer vision and AI where it is impossible to unentangle human and technological forces.

  This article explores what role minor and ambivalent feelings play in the experi- ence of hashtag phenomena on social media. The case study is the hashtag-flooding phenomenon that happened on Twitter in the autumn of 2020, where a group of homosexual men and supporters started using the hashtag #ProudBoys to change its connotation to the eponymous far-right group. With an affect-driven autoethnographic analysis, I explore how minor feelings are engendered in the experience of the #ProudBoys-phenomenon and how they are part of the affective public that is created in the activity of producing a new context for the hashtag. I conclude with the proposition that minor feelings had a significant effect on how my attention was kept while engaging in the #ProudBoys-phenomenon on Twitter. Furthermore, I propose that the phenomenon is an example of hashtag activism that is characterized more by everyday collective identity-building than acute urgency around a public matter.
