Marianne Gunderson is a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Digital Narrative in Bergen, as a part of the ALGOFOLK project (“Algorithmic folklore: The mutual shaping of vernacular creativity and automation”) funded by a Trond Mohn Foundation Starting Grant (2024-2028). Marianne holds a PhD in Digital Culture from the University of Bergen, where she was part of the ERC-funded project “Machine Vision in Everyday Life” and a master in Gender Studies from the University of Oslo. She has previously written about algorithmic imaginaries and the TikTok algorithm, nonhuman monsters in weird fiction, and omegaverse fanfiction. Her current project is on AI weirdness, slop, and botshit, which she is studying through the concept of algorithmic monsters.
