<p><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Prof. Sarah Pink: Sensory-Digital Ethnography: Unravelling Energy and Digital Living<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this talk I outline a sensory ethnography methodology and the principles underpinning it. I will argue that a focus on sensory experience, and the normally unspoken, in everyday life can generate novel insights that offer us ways to
re-think the assumptions usually underpinning research, design and intervention in the social sciences and humanities. I demonstrate this through a discussion of the Energy and Digital Living web site, which represents the work of a four-year sensory and digital
ethnography project undertaken in UK homes from 2010-2014.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sarah Pink is Professor of Design (Media Ethnography) in the School of Media & Communications and the Design Research Institute at RMIT. A global authority on visual and sensory ethnography methodologies, Sarah continues to develop this
field in new ways relating to digital technologies. Her books in this field include 'Doing Sensory Ethnography' (2009), 'Doing Visual Ethnography'(2001), and 'The Future of Visual Anthropology' (2006).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>A/Prof. Scott McQuire: Digital Public Spaces<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Digital public spaces have often been thought of in terms of online and ‘virtual’ spaces. But as digital media have become more pervasive, digital platforms are increasingly part of traditional urban public spaces. What happens when the
city square becomes a media square? Today digital networks shape all kinds of social interactions in public. As cities become ’smarter’, is the quality of our social encounters becoming any better? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scott McQuire is an Associate Professor in Media and Communications at the University of Melbourne. His research explores the social effects of media technologies. His books include 'The Media City' (2008), which traces the way in which
cities have become increasingly media-dense environments, transforming previous conceptions of public and private space, and the 'Urban Screens Reader' (2009).<o:p></o:p></p>
