I am a person with a passion for being in nature, moving in nature, and living with nature. I spend a lot of time in physical activity, usually running, and preferably surrounded by trees or mountains. During the summer months, I compete in skyrunning.
I work as a research scientist in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and find myself in the paradoxical situation of spending my work day embedded in high technology, while using the remaining time to distance myself from it. Understanding how to live in harmony with ourselves, nature, and technology is one of my life's passions.
My preferred mode of digital communication is e-mail: hello@erikjohannes.no.
In the age of machines, the human is out of place. In the age of information, the mind is overloaded.
This website is not mainly created to be read. It’s created to be written. It’s a playground, a training yard, a whetstone to sharpen a dull brain. A place of focus for a scrambling mind.
I don't use any form of analytics or user tracking on this website. No information about you is collected, and I have no idea how many visits I have.
I'm wary about the use of generative AI in communication between humans, and I think it is wise to disclose when it is being used. All writing and photography on this website is created by me, without any involvement of generative AI.
I write the content in either Markdown or HTML, and I have written a small script to convert everything to HTML and put the pages together in the correct layout and structure.
This may sound complicated for non-technical people, but making a website can be very easy and is accessible to everyone. Having your own space on the Internet gives you much more control of the things you share, rather than relying on social media profiles, where you practically give away your content to big tech companies. If you want to set up your own site and need some help, let me know.
