- [Dimensions of Censorship](https://amysuowu.net/dimensions-of-censorship/) - Dimensions of Censorship questions how internet censorship, for better or worse has affected the transient state of China. It is common knowledge that the media has always been susceptible to censorship, however the topic of censorship has always been a deeply complicated and moreover a pervasive element in human history.
- [Daylife Uncensored](https://amysuowu.net/daylife-uncensored/) - Daylife Uncensored springs from my thesis Dimensions of Censorship and further investigates the notion of media censorship.

- [What a book is](https://amysuowu.net/what-a-book-is/) - Published in the 1975, Mexican/Dutch artist Ulises Carrións wrote “The New Art of Making Books”. In the chapter “What a book is” he was thinking about books not restricted to its formal properties but as a sequence of spaces and moments, essentially liberating its definition from its physical representation as a paper codex.

- [Reclaiming uncertainty with para-rational methods](https://amysuowu.net/reclaiming-uncertainty-with-para-rational-methods/) - This paper is the theoretical complement to the practical component of a larger body of research on the role of prediction (Mood Radar and Prediction TV). The overarching objective is to question discourse regimes and how they shape reality through the management and construction of acceptable knowledge. Para-rationalism is explored as a method to simultaneously problematise and straddle the rational/irrational dichotomy. Divination can be seen as an example of para-rationalism and is addressed through the notions of paradox, synchronicity, truth as a model and self-fulfilling prophecies. In modern secular society, the legacy of divination can be traced in the contemporary use of predictive algorithms, seizing on their utility for surveillance and market driven incentives in the name of progress.
