#Algologs
## interventions in the age of repredictions
Algologs = a 1 + 1 day dialog with algorithmic practices. During this two day event we will increase the % of engagement with everyday algorithms.
On Friday evening we explore a multiplication of Algoliterary ways of converting words to numbers x infrapunctural reliefs x bookscanner pipelines x big data promises. Together we will log algorithmic attitudes.
The presentations on Friday feedfront to an 8 hour Algolit session on Saturday, where we will host a collective dive into the clustering techniques of word-embeddings. With a focus on specific steps in this proces, we propose to see them as recipies for small (code or non-code based) experiments.
Calling all extra amateurs, protoprofessionals and circumstantial algo-loggers for an exploration into multi-linear al(so)gebra.

**the XPUB practicioners** are currently working on OuNuPo: the 5th Special Issue with and around bookscanner culture. XPUB is the Experimental Publishing master at the Piet Zwart Institute.
**Marloes de Valk** is a software artist and writer in the post-despair stage of coping with the threat of global warming and being spied on by the devices surrounding her.
**Cristina Cochior** is a Rotterdam-based researcher, designer and enthusiast media aggregator who is currently interested in algorithmic stress relief.
**Algolit** is a Brussels-based a group of artists, designers, programmers and activists that meet once a month to write textual code experiments together.

## Program
**Friday, 19:00 - 21:30+**<br>
Introductions, infrapunctures, bookscanner samples, big data promises
**Saturday, 10:00 - 18:00**<br>
Algolit session: From words to numbers through word-embeddings
This session is special edition and part of a longer timeline of monthly Algolit gatherings organised by Constant in the WTC25 in Brussels. In 2018 Algolit decided to open the sessions, to allow incisive jump-in jump-out participation.
We will start the day with going step-by-step through the script word2vec_basic.py (https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/word2vec), and slowly slide into both code-based and non-code based experiments, depending on what the attendants are inclined towards. This work session is a moment to try things out yourself.
Note to attendants: It would be good to bring a laptop. Not per se for the reason of working with code or digital tools (we are big enthusiasts of non-coding experiments!), but we usually take notes collectively or look at references. For that reason a laptop is a nice companion!
If you are interested to attend this session, please email info@varia.zone at any point in advance.
**Location**<br>
Varia - Gouwstraat 3, Rotterdam
