This is Hello, Computer, a series of interviews carried out in 2023 at a time when artificial intelligence appears to be going everywhere, all at once.

Jonas Ivarsson is a professor of informatics. He started in cognitive science and communication studies before moving to education. In 2013 he became a professor of education, where his research focused on the role of various technologies in developing knowledge and competence. In 2019 he moved to Informatics at the Department of Applied Information Technology at the University of Gothenburg. There, his role is to take the lead on the emerging research on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence—a specific approach to the interplay between humans and machines in the context of artificial intelligence. Central to this approach are questions relating to how to design AI systems to operate in the context of human users and how to design learning trajectories of humans so that they can intelligently interact with increasingly complex semi-autonomous systems. His strategic leadership background includes serving as deputy head of department as well as research dean at the faculty of education. He has served at the board of the University of Gothenburg and as a member of the university’s coordination group for digitalisation and artificial intelligence. The government has appointed Ivarsson to serve on the advisory Ethics Council of the Swedish Migration Agency. Ivarsson is an experienced project leader and currently operates as principal investigator of the research project ’Professional Trust and Autonomous Systems’ funded by Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation

Year 2000 – I was here – where were you?

I really don’t understand time – it’s a mystery – what is it, how is it – does it pass, or does it just keep going, coming back and disappearing!?

I understand it biologically and metrically (barely) but I don’t understand it emotionally… Iit feels like everything exists at the same time! That simultaneity does not agree with how we are brought up about time.

Anyway… now it’s summer and wonderful… right now… just be present and enjoy!

Ulla Barbro – my mother

her home

Where ever you are – I love you – and I am so gratefull – You never ever doubted me, no matter what it looked like. And it’s strong, because sometimes it looked really bad!

There is no love greater than a mother’s love… so here, among us humans… that’s what I believe!

I have seen a series – Exit – it makes me think of a reality – It may be that men need war to find a good inner level. Do they??

…which means that there will always be war!

I can never digest this, that I am here… in life, on earth!

film 2.31 min

By the end of May I will know if my project gets a public space… so looking forward to that day. Then I hope I can invite two people to the project!

Beskrivning

Det mesta kretsar kring individen. Men var slutar jag, och var börjar resten av världen?

Vid nästippen, doften, i de tankar jag sprider eller i de avtryck jag gör i relationen med andra?

Och vad händer med det uppkopplade jaget, långt där ute i cyberrymden?

Finns det kulturella skillnader i synen på jaget?

a memory

A GIFT

film 1.30 min

What universe do I live in – the universe that has “wormholes” – where you can travel wherever you want in a second. On my planet there are no fences, only if you put them there yourself. I’m easily deceived… the downside of free thinking is that it makes me gullible. In a way I’m glad I was fooled, I had forgotten that I saw a person 5-6 years ago – I saw a presence and a talent.

I am grateful that I was reminded

🤗

To be seen as a prey

… it is kind of horrific!

THIS DAY

I went through memories from last year – and this very day was a special day, a road Trip.

the location is: Båstanäs in Töckfors

– the place is filled of silent stories. time was short, there was so much more to film.

It was poignant – jag blev så berörd – to walk there among all the cars, the deeper into the forest, the older and rustier it became. I actually saw wrecks that looked like they were from before WWII.

TODAY – I so long for inspiration!

Six months ago I was on a Sunday at Röda Sten, and that was inspiring. Feeling and seeing other people’s work, when that work is genuine&true… I just love it!

I am inspired by this picture even though it is my own… I love what I have managed to portray here. Think, some things can only be “read” in pictures… pictures are such an amazing language!

THIS HEIR, behind me… this baby -25 years old – how is that possible

… wonder if he’ll pop out when he’s done?

Art work in the in the final process

THE LEGACY – THE HERITAGE

I want to highlight our inherited fear. As soon as we leave the safe womb, we are so incredibly vulnerable.

In this work – which has been ongoing, from and to, since 1997 – 2022 – I have portrayed my fear of existing in my earthly body, my earthly destiny. And as I see it, everyone else’s fate as well – because I am not alone in being born into a system where violence and power are one of the most controlling forces. After all, there is a counterforce of light and love, but not everyone is blessed to be in that frequency. Despite the fact that “THE LEGACY” has deep roots in a dark part of me, my personality, the work is portrayed with humor. Because humor is a great tool to deal with difficulties. So this little baby, sitting on one side in a crack of the work  – is even before leaving the womb – armed! This little heir seems to embrace his destiny even as he thinks: shit! On the other side of the work, his father – the comic book hero The Phantom rides his horse, gun at the ready… my childhood comic book hero, whom I chose to portray as the patriarchal role model.

my new logo-language!

For the art loving decorator

is complete – A stand-alone – but it also works expressively to combine several of them

1/ I will process this images digitally.

2/ The images will be printed – with the highest quality on synthetic canvas –

3/ Then hand painted In selected areas with oil paint.

–

So these works are intended, in such a way that the decorator should be able to combine pieces in the desired color combination, in the desired size and in different directions – horizontally or vertically. There are exciting movements no matter how you choose. I think it adds something extra interesting when the recipient gets the opportunity if desired, to integrate with the work and thus take part in the creation … become co-creative!

PS

New parts are under development!

titel of this art work is: Letter From Diana

Denna tavlan har en speciell plats i min historia
This painting has a special place in my history

I guess in this case – it’s me who’s Diana!

Jag antar att i det här fallet – är det jag som är Diana!

… he has entered a new spirit of the times, there is a gender development.

Letter From Diana – 1997

size: 300 x 300 cm

triptyk/tre delar

medium: acryl på duk

MÅLNINGEN har stannat i min ateljé i alla år, förutom en vistelse på några månader på Mölndals museum, för ca 6-7 år sedan. Vid ett tillfälle höll jag ett föredrag för Sveriges fantomen klubb, ett antal herrar, som befann sig spå bokmässan, hade hört talas om tavlan, hörde av sig till Mölndals museum, de bad om ett litet föredrag av konstnären… kunde jag ju inte motstå… samtidigt lite “odd” att berätta att jag fått en baby med fantomen för en grupp herrar… underliga situationer man kan hamna i, men jag tror att de hade kul!. De ville så gärna höra om denna tavlas tillkomst och varför!

THE PAINTING has stayed in my studio for all the years, except for a stay of a few months at Mölndal’s museum, about 6-7 years ago. On one occasion I gave a lecture for the Swedish Phantom Club, a number of gentlemen, who were at the book fair, had heard about the painting, heard from Mölndal’s museum, they asked for a small lecture by the artist and that I could not resist … at the same time a little “odd” to tell that I had a baby with the phantom for a group of gentlemen … strange situations you can end up in, but I think they had fun !. They really wanted to hear about the origins of this painting and why!

NÅGRA detalj bilder ur tavlan:

Tavlan med ett par andra verk blev också omtalat i medier lite här och var.

You can beat the Dragon with your mind

… doesn’t matter if it is an outsider or insider Dragon – it is not easy, you have to practice, every day – to sharpen your focus. The Dragon’s nourishment is your fear, your despair, or your lack of direction.

… and, the truth is, I do not know how to do this … I just know it’s so!

titel: Meet you self in the mirror – and ask your self – Where Are You?

I think that it is in some ways like go into a twilight zoon when traveling by tram in Gothenburg. On the one hand, the trams that go here are often from the 70’s … it feels really strange, considering how everything else has developed since then! And besides, it’s always a bit special because you get trapped in a vehicle with unknown people, all with their different energy bubbles. I will work in this painting like an experiment. I will see if I can land in an abstract description of a moment on a tram… without any people being seen … really nothing should be seen, just felt!

THE FIRST TEASER OBOUT A SCULPTURE?

I do not know, but “COURAGE” has an inherent … if you give yourself time to look, you can feel it.
I’m enchanted … that’s why it will be a movie!

IN COLLABORATION

WE ARE working out a performance.

We are building a story, through art, through dance, through film … everything matters, all expressions meet in a vortex and have a life of it’s own … we listen … and we are amazed!

We want, in small portions, share the work with you during the project.

We feel that the way are just as interesting as the finished performance.

take part in our journey and follow us

MOVIE

so-called artist – like myself – you do not choose, it is only in your genes. It’s a blessing – you live a rich inner life. but it is also horrible, vulnerable and omitting. you stand outside your surroundings …

you are visible but almost never seen…

People in the immediate environment are quite often provoked by the person you are … I do not know why … even those closest to you … it is sometimes very lonely, very sad…

Many times I have been extremely hurt … but I have been quiet about it, because I understand that they do not see… did not understand, or chose not to understand … in any case … why do you/we so easily forget respect … the most monumentally important thing… most important human trait!

I guess we can all feel that way … maybe …

OZZY himself 😉

FINISHING the painting these days, 2021, februari!

… and it is for sale!

Ozzy – The Painting – has been a company in my studio since 2004 – I´ ve changed some things, it was even

bigger before. Now it is in three pieces instead of five! The Painting was presented at an exhibition at KULTUR

CENTRUM RÖDA STEN 2004, and the painting was also included in an retro-exhibition 2005 at Gallery Art Now.

First this year I have it for sale… as in for real!

titel:

“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

For me, this is a very special object/painting… it represents an era, a time when reality shows began… I believe

“The Osbournes” was the first one… wasn’t´t it?

BY offering themselves completely, the family shown a rare courage, and above all, Ozzy in this series – has given a total insight into human life journey!

– between then and now –

THAT REALITY SHOW… THE OSBOURNS!

I needed it… why, I do not know… I very rarely look at things coming through the tv!

… at that time, when I did my life battle on different issues – Ozzy Osbourne show – was just hilarious,

a wonderful window for laffter,

empathy and presens… so, as a reaction to that very special window I summed up my impressions and

experiences in this painting that I gave the title:

“Yea, though I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”

The journey we make between young, carefree, angry and boundless – kind of immortal – to age, become

humble, fill the room with humor and self-distance … it was wonderful right then.

I know no one else who showed it so clearly, in such a simple way, so popular and at the same time for real …

it was great!

IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT A SPECIAL ENERGY IN AN OBJECT?

🙂

… last night I painted, Lolita has got her face back… what a process!! …and as many close said to me: – put away the board!

I didn’t – put away the board – so now it remains to be seen if this face holds, if I have found the right one! I kind of believe it, although it might not be possible to trust, hmmm …
