AI : Summary This session combined three intertwined demonstrations with a wide-ranging discussion on spatializing knowledge. First-time participant Benja demonstrated a prototype writing tool that visualizes deeply nested parenthetical clauses as stacked layers, addressing working-memory limits in complex prose. This was followed by a Game of Life knowledge-sculpture prototype for visionOS and a demonstration of a live Earth-and-space environment… Continue reading 3 August ’26

AI: Summary The session centered on how conversational coding inside a native development environment has collapsed the cost and effort of making bespoke software, letting non-programmers prototype working tools for their own letters, notes, and knowledge simply by writing prose — and on what that means for a community of text and hypertext researchers who… Continue reading 21 July ’26

The ‘vibe’ of knowledge – Intro We now have LLM’s helping us code inside our coding environment. Frode Hegland has started working with Claude in Xcode and found it surprisingly powerful and is therefore working on an app (open source, free, available and documented, with easy ways to add custom views). The app is based… Continue reading 13 July

Agenda AI Summary The session explored how XR might transform reading, annotation, and meeting memory by making text spatial, embodied, and navigable, while also debating how future records of intellectual work could be queried, remixed, and preserved across time through interoperable systems, journals, notebooks, and immersive archives. The primary focus was on spatializing knowledge in… Continue reading 26 Jan 2026

AI: Summary The session examined how a future wisdom library might be realized through XR, spatial interfaces, and open metadata, focusing on how knowledge systems could remain fluid, contextual, and revisable rather than fixed, authoritative, or purely archival, with books, documents, and libraries treated as evolving participants in a broader ecosystem of understanding rather than static endpoints. AI: Highlights Frode… Continue reading 15 Dec 2025

AI: Summary The session explored how scholarly knowledge can be structured, connected, and experienced in XR, focusing on the tension between fixed documents and fluid, reader-driven assemblies of text, metadata, and annotation, with sustained attention to reading practices, binding and curation, and the shifting audiences of academic writing in a machine-mediated world. AI: Highlights The… Continue reading 22 Dec 2025

AI: Summary The session explored how text, interfaces, and social structure shape meaning-making in XR-era knowledge work, moving fluidly between concrete interface design decisions, the limits of current citation systems, and the social mechanics of sustaining a focused yet inclusive research community. Participants reflected on AI and XR maturity, the realities of cost and access,… Continue reading 1 Dec 2025
