Kort info
Forskning
Gabriele de Seta er teknisk sett sosiolog. Han er forsker ved Universitetet i Bergen, hvor han leder ALGOFOLK-prosjektet (“Algorithmic folklore: The mutual shaping of vernacular creativity and automation”) finansiert av en Trond Mohn Foundation Starting Grant (2024-2028). Gabriele har en doktorgrad fra Hong Kong Polytekniske Universitet og var postdoktor ved Institutt for Etnologi ved Academia Sinica i Taipei. Gabriele er for tiden postdoktor ved det ERC-finansierte prosjektet Machine Vision in Everyday Life. Forskningsarbeidet hans, forankret i etnografisk engasjement på tvers av flere nettsteder, fokuserer på digitale mediepraksiser, sosiotekniske infrastrukturer og vernakulær kreativitet i den kinesisktalende verden. Han er også interessert i eksperimentelle, kreative og samarbeidende tilnærminger til kunnskapsproduksjon.
Formidling
Jeg blogger jevnlig på nettstedet mitt for å dele forskningsoppdateringer, jeg er vert for en podcast som intervjuer forskere og artister, og jeg snakker gjerne om forskningen min på hvilken som helst plattform – bare ta kontakt!
Undervisning
Jeg har designet "Machine Vision"-modulen for bacheloremnet Critical Approaches to Technology and Society (høsten 2020) og undervist på masteremnet Key Theories in Digital Culture (høsten 2021). Jeg holder jevnlig gjesteforelesninger og leder workshops ved internasjonale institusjoner. Jeg er for tiden biveileder for ph.d.-kandidat Hanna Lauvli og jeg veileder flere MA- og PhD-studenter.
