I love this, from @ryancordell : 'In their discussions of hacking, building, and making, we see that DH scholars do not generally seek to convey simple technological skills, but instead to cultivate technological imagination. Specific platforms, applications, and even coding languages come and go, but a technological imagination is able to abstract a problem—whether intellectual, professional, or personal—and formulate a plan for how a tool or suite of tools might help answer it'. And, 'The complexity of current technological systems, most dramatically evident in the black boxes of artificial intelligence platforms, exacerbates a sense of alienation that hacking, building, making, and indeed crafting seek to ameliorate.' https://ryancordell.org/research/anemoia
