— A Norwegian Center of Excellence (SFF) · 2023–2033
Research on the narratives that shape our future.
We examine algorithmic narrativity, the complex interplay between human storytellers and computational systems — from social media algorithms to generative AI — that increasingly define contemporary life. We are dedicated to establishing digital narrative as an independent, interdisciplinary field that moves beyond traditional digital humanities. By merging theoretical inquiry with creative practice, the CDN serves as an international hub for humanities-led research that explores how these digital stories reshape our culture, society, and identity.
