This half-day symposium will be an interdisciplinary conversation about preservation and processing of data, bodies and food. Taking as its framework research and curatorial project Fermenting Data https://fermentingdata.net/ , the symposium will present artistic and curatorial approaches to working with data and it will ask how speculation and thinking data otherwise can support developing new epistemological approaches to study of data while also offering new tools and methods for data practices.

Please sign up before Wednesday 23rd June at 8:00 AM (CET) - After the deadline (June 23 at 8 AM) you will all receive a link to join the webinar.

STEEM

  • Center for the Study of Technological, Emerging, and Ethical Methods

THIS

How do we design and carry out research that matters? What’s at stake when we capture, generate, and collect social data? How do methodologies are negotiated with and against the digital and the ethical? How do we participate in a world that calls researchers to take more active and even activist roles, not just reacting to, but creating better, ethical, sustainable future possibilities for the planet? STEEM facilitates collaborative, interdisciplinary, and ethical explorations of methods for studying and intervening in complex social phenomena, practices and events. 

IS

We drive (we crave) innovative thinking around methodologies for studying society in the life and times of digital saturation, datafication, machine learning, accelerated automation, and ethical ambiguities. Methods do more than just guide our research endeavors. They are choices that carry ethical and epistemological consequences. In short, methods are not just lenses for making sense of phenomena, they are powerful forms of intervention, laden with particular epistemologies and ontologies. Methods don’t just reflect ethics, they create ethics for future use.

STEEM

STEEM brings together a diverse global network of researchers. We sponsor workshops and PhD summer schools across five countries. These focus on critical approaches, a future orientation, and an ethic of care. Through these events, we are nurturing important and interdisciplinary synergies for thinking differently about how we understand and influence networked cultures, the social impact of datafication, algorithmic processes, algorithmic identity politics, cultures as flows, and posthuman interactions.
