Research Handbook on Digital Data Online Launch Event

The book is co-edited by Aleksi Aaltonen with Marta Stelmaszak and Kalle Lyytinen (Edward Elgar Publishing).

People and research

Research interests, in each person’s own published words.

Split into tokens by the CLIP tokenizer (openai/clip-vit-base-patch32, byte-level BPE) on Oct. 2, 2026; the numbers are its token IDs. The tokenizer reads lower case; the chips keep each person's capitals. Names are never split. The drift and the return to plain text are animation.
