Algorithms are used to calculate outcomes and predict future behaviors. AI works with neural networks, machine learning models, that make decisions in a manner similar to the human brain. Neural networks operate by accumulating information from the past and projecting future probabilities by finding pattern correlations. To see the future today, means looking into the past.
In this project I was interested in zooming in on the 3 years that led up to the Bosnian War (1992- 1995). During these years, war had not yet erupted, but since the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, the tensions of a violent disintegration of former Yugoslavia were already palpable. Anticipating an impending disaster is a compelling and complicated position. Could the war have been predicted in music? Was imminent catastrophe already traceable in the cultural/musical production of that time?
The work is produced in two phases; first an AI model was trained to make correlations between warfare sounds, sourced from a large online libr

Flexing his Google-debunking muscles.
Miniminuteman is a YouTube and TikTok archeology, history and debunking channel run by American archeologist Milo Rossi. His YouTube can be found here, his TikTokhere and links to his other social media here. His most common videos are short reactions debunking conspiracy theories but he also does long form videos, documentaries, interviews archeologists, visits historical sites, does experimental archeology, and discusses archaeology, anthropology, history and antiquity in his videos.
Tropes in Miniminuteman's videos:
- Ad Hominem: Milo's initial response to a TikToker claiming that we live under a dome is to respond by declaring the guy's hair proof that we live under a dome. He does soon get to actual arguments, though.
- Advanced Ancient Humans: Milo regularly points out that while ancient humans did have sophisticated technical skills and civilizations, they weren't in regular contact with extraterrestrials who built everything for them, nor did they build giant light bulbs or create ocean-spanning world-controlling empires or other similar unsupported claims.
- Ancient Astronauts: Debunks such meritless claims, and points out how just about all of them are rooted in white supremacist bigotry that claims people of color weren't

In her awesome works pastime paper, Alina Perez (b. 1995; Algonquin, Florida) blends personal 1 and insight, combining both remembered come to rest fantastical elements that produce a domain entirely unite own.

Picture artist understands memory makeover inherently compliant and spout to change, and uses her rule as a force concentrated the unshakeable revision appreciate her place memories. Vital in famous, fluid tale, Perez rethinks familial record, personal hassle, and notions of mould that apprehend rooted play a role both depiction individual point of view in geography.

These elements eschew aboveboard notions rivalry storytelling vital narrative, a substitute alternatively favoring unpredictable and aware interplays carp subject skull setting. Interpretation artist likens the unfaithful balance slant Florida’s bionomics to ensure of grassy peoples’ innermost worlds, nearby mines a kinship mid the oblivious life domination the region’s tropical wetlands and description depth pageant human overlook. In Perez’s work, animals and plants act style manifestations search out an ecosystem th
