<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Some strands of media theory maintain that to build a concept you need to know the machine. With facilitation by network engineer Dan Hassan, designer Paul Mylecharane and WSU researchers, this workshop is
interested in the operational logic of various digital technologies and devices. Gear on the table to test and explore includes:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">During the morning session Dan and Paul we will be replacing the outdated proprietary ISP ‘gateway’ with an open and user-visible device. During the session they will touch on how key concepts within networked
hardware come directly from militarised notions and will explore what a 'context awareness' in the digital age might look like (not just by visualising all the traffic emitted from our 'smart' phones without our knowledge).You can read more here:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The afternoon will feature a short, informal Q&A session with Dan, Paul and members of Western Sydney University’s Internet of Things (IoT) group: Jason Ensor, Rachel Hendery, Andrew Leahy, Andreas Kuswara,
Liam Magee and Teresa Swist. The session will discuss experiences with hardware-related projects in the social sciences and humanities, and how these relate to wider interests and concerns: digital research methods, technical configurations, interdisciplinary
collaborations, grant and article writing, audience participation and engagement, and the politics and ethics of research with the machine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
