[csaa-forum] Data Futures Symposium @ UNSW

[Michael Richardson]

Dear colleagues,

Further to my announcement below, you may also be interested in this terrific workshop the following day:

Re/imagining Personal Data

University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Tuesday 1 October 2019
9.30 am-12.30 pm (followed by catered lunch)

Organisers: Deborah Lupton (UNSW Sydney), Larissa Hjorth (RMIT) and Annette Markham (Aarhus University)

Overview: This half-day workshop involves a selection of hands-on arts- and design-based activities to invite participants to re/imagine personal digital data. Participants will be able to experiment with innovative methods of eliciting creative and more-than-representational responses to personal data and generating speculative imaginaries about the futures of data. These methods can be used for teaching purposes or research projects.

We will be using these activities to explore and respond to these key questions:

  *   What do personal data do?
  *   How best can we use them?
  *   What is our relationship with our personal data?
  *   Which data do we want to keep and protect and which do we want to discard or forget?
  *   What are our affective and sensory engagements with these data?
  *   What are the futures of personal data?

Participants at all levels of research experience are invited to attend, including postgraduate students and people working outside the university sector.

Registration and lunch are free, but places are strictly limited.

Please contact Deborah Lupton, Faculty of Arts & Design, UNSW Sydney (d.lupton [at] unsw.edu.au) as soon as possible with an email noting that you’d like to register to secure your place.

Best,
Michael
