<b>‘Media Futures in Times of Crisis’, a fee-free symposium hosted by the Media Futures Hub</b> based at the School of the Arts and Media, UNSW. Please share with interested colleagues and HDR students and see other details below:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif;color:black">We live in times of compounding and intensifying crisis: climate catastrophe, a genocide in Gaza, a rising fascist tide across the globe, the long crisis of settler colonial invasion and occupation
here in Australia, and the exhaustion of growth economies. Media technologies are often posited as a way to out of crisis: artificial intelligence promises productivity gains, automated weapons are presented as more efficient and humane ways to wage war, new
imaging tools shed light on the impacts of global warming, increased data collection is positioned as step toward closing the gap and addressing systemic state neglect. At the same time, media platforms and organisations are also often seen as amplifying crises
in the midst of an information disorder, the limited and harmful diversity paradigms of legacy media, and the intensification of racial capitalism in newsrooms and production studios. How are we to make sense of the poly-crisis we find ourselves in? And how
are we to cut through the hype of the techno-fix?</span><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif;color:black">Media Futures in Times of Crisis confronts these questions across two days of presentations, screenings, and discussions. Presented by the UNSW Media Futures Hub, the symposium seeks to cultivate
theory and analysis adequate to the task of understanding the futures we move toward.</span><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
