It's finally published! "Visual and Linguistic Dogwhistles" by @jennysaul.bsky.social & me is available online. Because it's me, we talk about Panofsky, alchemy, Barthes and Panzani, and ancient dudes masturbating on statues. Because it's Jenny, it all makes sense. doi.org/10.1093/oxfo...

I'm very pleased that the new SComS has been published: it's all about image clusters, and the articles are great. In it, I propose a modernised form of iconology that uses artificial intelligence to help query medium-sized datasets of images. www.hope.uzh.ch/scoms/issue/...

I'm honoured to be published in the latest issue of 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual. My article looks at Internet memes from a visual point of view, and notes surprising parallels with Renaissance emblems. doi.org/10.11588/xxi...

How can academics looking at large datasets of imagery use AI fruitfully? I suggest using AI to augment iconological readings in Studies in Communication Sciences: doi.org/10.24434/j.s...
