about/

I write texts, edit texts, I do interviews, and I know a lot about time, algorithmic reason, digital capitalism, cybernetics, Henri Bergson, Marx and Nietzsche. 

I am a political scientist and philosopher by training, and you can find my full CV here. I am currently working on a PhD thesis in philosophy at École normale supérieure in Paris, where I am writing a monograph on the ontology of time in algorithmic reason. I recently published an article on algorithmically generated memories (those notifications you get from apps such as Google photos that say “here is a memory for you” &c) in Memory, Mind and Media. You can read more about my academic work here.

I do my best to make research available for people who don’t spend their days in an academic bubble, so I have conducted interviews with researchers to disseminate their knowledge, and I have written several essays and participated in podcasts trying to disseminate my own research. You can find my journalistic texts here. I have mostly been writing non-academic texts in Norwegian and academic texts in English, but that is a coincidence rather than an expression of a preference.

In 2024 I was invited by the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm to contribute to their exhibition on time by talking about the debate on time between Einstein and Bergson. I did so on their podcast, as well as in four videos that were part of their exhibition. Sveriges radio (the public Swedish radio) did a short piece on the exhibition, which you can find here (in Swedish).

I was a member of the editorial board of the Norwegian feminist journal Fett from 2017 to 2025. Besides helping me better my own writing, I have learnt to appreciate the communal effort of text-production. Most importantly, I have learnt how to edit other people’s texts so that we all get to say what we want to say in written form.

Contact me if you want me to write something – long, short, academic or not – or interview someone, edit something, talk on your podcast, or if you have any project you would like to collaborate with me on.
