En kat😼, en flynørd✈️ og en veteran🪖 går ind på en bar – og taler om krig, satellitbilleder📡 og missiltyper🚀. Bag baren står en krabbe🦀 og en journalist📝 og fniser af et meme om ukrainske droner.
Forsamlingen er broget, men de har alle det tilfælles, at de bruger en stor del af deres tid på at skrive om internationale konflikter på Twitter/X.
I de senere år har der nemlig udviklet sig et ganske aktivt samfund af civile open source-efterretningsanalytikere (OSINT) på nettet, med farverige profiler og kaldenavne.
I en ny Lab Report undersøger vi hvem de mest prominente OSINT-konti på Twitter/X er i relation til krigen i Ukraine. Vi afdækker også måden de arbejder på og opstiller 3 typer.

Public seminar with Anders Grundtvig, visiting PhD Fellow, co-organized by the Digital Media Lab and the Centre for Digital Citizenship at RUC.
Time: 9 December 2024 from 13.00-14.30
Place: Digital Media Lab, RUC (room 40.3.045)
Abstract
The commodification of the internet holds major implications for the information we all engage with online (Mager, Norocel, and Rogers, 2023) and thereby impacts digital democracy. Despite the attention to Google as a marketplace for ads, there have been limited empirical studies scrutinizing Google Ads. Coromina, Tsinovio, and Munk (2023) have developed a digital methods framework to work with Google Ads data for techno-social controversy mapping. Building on this framework, we are mapping the tradeable assets of Google Ads and the commercial actors associated with Stem Cell Medicine.

During October-December 2024, Anders Grundtvig will be a visiting researcher at the Digital Media Lab. Anders joins us from the University of Copenhagen, where he is a PhD Fellow.
Here is Anders’ words about his visit:
“My PhD project is interested in how publics find online health information about stem cell therapy. At my section at the Department of Public Health and in my PhD supervisor group I have great resources covering the health specific topics of my PhD project. With this change of research environment at Roskilde University at the Department of Communication and Arts, and especially at the Digital Media Lab and Centre for Digital Citizenship, where my stay is taking place, I will get support for uncovering the digital media parts of my PhD project. The themes that I will explore at my change of research environment are mediated life, digital citizenship, digital media technologies, social media, algorithms, data, public conversations, digital methods, alternative media, data publics, and datafication.”

Welcome, Anders!

Mette Simonsen Abildgaard is Associate Professor of Arctic Technology Studies at Aalborg University. She recently received a Sapere Aude grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark and a Semper Ardens: Accelerate grant from the Carlsberg Foundation.
“In this talk, I explore how digital infrastructures shape the experiences of those positioned as living ‘on the margins’. I discuss some of the approaches I have used to study systems such as undersea-cables, wi-fi networks, mobile plans, satellites, and other infrastructures of telecommunication, which are both pervasive and deeply personal, using ethnographic methods. Specifically, I’ll discuss how the concept of ‘infrastructural encounters’ has helped me capture sites and moments where the everyday is made faster or is slowed down through infrastructure, and a method of phenomenologically ‘sensing data’ (such as the kilobytes, megabytes, petabytes, and zettabytes circulating in digital infrastructures) as situated and mundane, during fieldwork in North Greenland.”
