SUMMARY:Art Event: The Ambiguity of Sorting
DESCRIPTION:The Ambiguity of Sorting\nHow do technologies of separation bring us together? \nDigital systems are based on acts of transformation from continuity and unity into discreteness and separation. These acts of transformation have been popularized in the multiple ways in which humans engage with AI systems and other forms of digital technologies. Everything we do is transformed\, one could say\, automatically into data. It is transformed into discrete units that can be computed. Digital technologies have become more than tools for research; people produce knowledge with them\, engage emotionally through and with these systems\, generating new forms and spaces of intimacy. At the same time\, these technologies carry a history of creating disconnections\, failing to account for different ways of engaging with the world. They are the result of a certain imaginary of the human and intelligence\, one that leaves aside many other existing ways to be in the world. What kind of communities are enabled by technologies? What kind of technologies are successful in bringing communities together? Can we imagine a history of technology that is based on plural ways of understanding intelligence and the human? How can we design technologies that bring people together? How can we imagine technologies that enable communities? \nThe Ambiguity of Sorting is a pop-up exhibition and a panel discussion that takes place during the 8th edition of the Conference of the Society for the History and Philosophy of Computing. The event brings together installation\, performance\, and conversations to discuss how the history of intelligent systems embodied ideas of intelligence\, the human\, and how we live together. With the panel\, we invite to think of a different history of computing\, one where those that were not thought to be fitting within their categories were creating their own technologies all along. \nWith contribution by: Sasha Bergstrom-Katz\, Ren Loren Britton\, and Verena Friedrich \nOrganization and moderation: Ana Maria Guzmán Olmos \nFind out more about the artists and their artworks on this website. \nHeader photo: Sasha Bergstrom-Katz\, On the Subject of Tests: Opening Boxes\, 2022. Video.

SUMMARY:Freedom of Research: A European Summit – Europe in Times of Division
DESCRIPTION:Europe stands at a crossroads: Political polarization\, disinformation\, and social fragmentation threaten the cohesion of our continent. National interests clash\, while external crises put increasing pressure on our democracies. At the same time\, science is under strain – facing targeted disinformation\, political interference\, and restrictions on academic freedom. How can we uphold shared values\, safeguard scientific exchange\, and strengthen trust in European institutions in times of division? \nUnder the motto “Europe in Times of Divison”\, the Summit will explore these pressing questions in various event formats and seek ways to build bridges – between nations\, generations\, and social groups\, as well as between politics\, business\, and science. \nThe Summit has three parts: Starting with a festive evening event on November 5\, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm in the Coronation Hall in Aachen Town Hall. Following with a symposium on the next day on November 6\, from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm in the Generali-Saal of SuperC at RWTH Aachen University. And ending with the Stand-up FoR Science NIGHT on 6 November\, starting at 6:30 pm at the Apollo Bar & Kino\, Aachen. \nFor more information about the program\, check out the event website. \nThe Summit is organized by the Charlemagne Prize Foundation and RWTH Aachen University’s Knowledge Hub and Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re).

SUMMARY:Workshop "After Networks: Reframing Scale\, Reimagining Connections"
DESCRIPTION:If “Expanded STS” can also be understood as a platform – in a sense that it gathers different disciplines that eventually go back to their original research field – the workshop “After Networks: reframing scale\, reimagining connections” proposes a direct connection with the KHK c:o/re’s 2024 research theme. The interdisciplinary program\, combining art and internet studies\, also puts together different approaches on how science and technology are configured in other spheres beyond academia. Gathering scholars\, artists and activists who have been working on disruptive understanding of digital systems\, this two-day event will discuss alternative ways to reimagine connections in contrast to increasingly monopolistic and financially motivated social media platforms. \nIn the last few years\, we have witnessed an unprecedented crisis in the way social interactions have merged with the informational space. The current “space of the world”\, as the artificial space of social media platforms has been called (Couldry\, 2025)\, is designed and controlled by corporations with strictly business purposes\, putting at risk a sense of community in a devastating way. How can the future of the internet be imagined beyond social media platforms? What can we learn from other networks or other notions of space devised by artists? In which ways can digital communication be grounded on equity\, common ownership and sustainability? These are some of the questions that will be addressed during the workshop. \nThe program includes an opening artist talk with Eduardo Kac\, a keynote speech with the media scholar Lori Emerson\, who is launching her new book “Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook” (Anthology Editions\, 2025) and a round table focused on a community-centered perspective of networks. \nIf you would like to attend\, please register with: events@khk.rwth-aachen.de \nYou can find an overview of the speakers here. \nProgram: \nApril 16:  \n16:30 – 18:30: Artist talk\nEduardo Kac: Dialogical Art on Earth and in Space\nModerated by Nathalia Lavigne \nRecognized for his pioneering work in the fields of telepresence\, bioart\, holographic poetry and space art\, Eduardo Kac has been developing artworks since the early 1980s that explore the idea of what he calls “dialogical art”. His work articulates processes of communication between different spheres and agents\, and between both humans and non-humans\, such as animals\, plants and robots. In this talk\, Kac will focus on his recent works developed in outer space\, showing their connection with earlier works from the 1980s and 1990s in which he expanded communication in art to include the non-human. The lecture is followed by a screening of the documentary Inner Telescope\, a Space Artwork by Eduardo Kac (2017\, 35 min)\, directed by Virgile Novarina. \nApril 17:  \n9:30: Introduction of the project “After Memory” (more info here)\nNathalia Lavigne and Lisa Deml \n10:00 – 12:00: Keynote\nLori Emerson: The Future of the Internet is a Future of Networks\nModerated by Ana María Guzmán \nIn the occasion of the launch of “Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook” (Anthology Editions\, 2025)\, Lori Emerson will present some case studies gathered in the book: networks that existed before or outside of the internet\, digital as well as analog\, IRL as well as imagined\, state-sponsored systems of control as well as homebrew communities in the footnotes of hacker culture. She is the Associate Professor of Media Studies and Director of the Intermedia Arts\, Writing\, and Performance Program at the University of Colorado Boulder and Director of the Media Archaeology Lab. She is also co-author of THE LAB BOOK: Situated Practices in Media Studies (University of Minnesota Press\, 2021)\, author of Reading Writing Interfaces: From the Digital to the Bookbound (University of Minnesota Press June\, 2014)\, and editor of numerous collections. \n12:00 – 14:00: Lunch and coffee \n14:30 – 16:30: Roundtable\nTatiana Bazzichelli\, Geert Lovink\, João C. Magalhães\, Alex Wermer-Colan\, and Bruna Zanolli: Local networks: reframing scale\nModerated by Nathalia Lavigne \nIn times when the ‘extinction internet’ notion has been claimed from a “platform-in-the-age-climate-collapse perspective” (Lovink\, 2024)\, which other telecommunication infrastructures could be developed in this current configuration? How can a more nourishing sense of community be recreated beyond the social disintegration naturalized on social media? Gathering five researchers who have been working on disruptive understanding of digital systems\, this roundtable will focus on a community-centered perspective of networks and their importance in the current context. Geert Lovink and Tatiana Bazzichelli will talk about the organization format of the Institute of Network Cultures and the Disruption Network Lab – founded by each of them in 2004 and 2014\, respectively. Focusing on the challenges around inequalities affecting particularly the Global South\, Bruna Zanolli will present recent projects developed by indigenous communities in Brazil\, while João C. Magalhães will discuss the potential use of deliberative democracy\, and in particular of online citizens’s councils\, to address platform speech governance issue. Lastly\, Alex Wermer-Colan will talk about the coalition Philly Community Wireless\, co-created by him in the outskirts of Philadelphia in 2020. \nHave a look at the event poster here. \nHeader Image:\n© Illustration of SSTV event “Still Life Alive” (by Carlos Fadon Vicente) which also included “Intercities São Paulo / Pittsburgh” from 1988\, organized by the Digital Art Exchange (headed by artist Bruce Breland) [from DAX archives\, Carnegie Mellon University\, “Intercities Sao Paul-Pittsburgh” Jan. 25\, 1988 Letter of May 31 to Breland/Kocher from Matuck FF44]

SUMMARY:Freedom of Research: Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to have brought the exhibition “European Archive of Voices” to Aachen. \nA team of 50 young international interviewers has interviewed people from across Europe born in the first half of the 20th century in their mother tongue about their experiences\, fears and hopes. This diverse collection of memoirs includes activists\, artists\, lawyers\, politicians\, scientists\, writers\, and many more. Through these varied biographies\, the project aims to highlight the rich\, complex\, and polarized histories of Europe and the generation that rebuilt it after 1945. \nYoung photographer Maximilian Gödecke\, focusing on reportage and portrait photography\, travels through European countries\, capturing personal portraits of the witnesses to history featured in the “European Archive of Voices.” Through his lens\, he captures not only their faces but also the spirit of a “last generation.” The project won the European Charlemagne Youth Prize in 2020. \nThe exhibition will be displayed in the Foyer of the C.A.R.L. at RWTH Aachen University. The opening will take place on Monday\, 21 October 2024\, at 12:00pm. \nThis event is part of the “Freedom of Research: A European Summit – Science in Times of Uncertainty” symposium and jointly organized by the Charlemagne Prize Foundation and RWTH Aachen University’s Knowledge Hub and Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (co/re).

SUMMARY:Symposium: Critical Perspectives on the Metascience Reform Movement
DESCRIPTION:Metascience is often defined as the scientific investigation of science itself with the aim to improve science. This ‘improving’ part of metascience has been called a reform movement. While the intention to improve science is generally laudable\, metascience and the associated movement(s) are not without their critics. The metascience reform movement has for instance\, been characterized as\, among other things\, neoliberal\, positivistic\, atheoretical\, technological\, moralizing\, bureaucratic\, homogenizing\, mechanistic\, quantitative\, psychological (psychologizing)\, social\, civilizing\, bullying\, exclusive\, coercive\, activist\, and normative. Some of those critical perspectives will be presented and discussed in this symposium. \nc:o/re Fellow Dr. Bart Penders will contribute with a talk on “Shamed Into Good Science”. \nLearn more and register for free.

SUMMARY:STS Hub. Towards encounters amongst STS scholars in Germany
DESCRIPTION:Science & Technology Studies (STS) has become a recognised\, delineated academic field in the international research landscape. In Germany\, however\, STS is rather dispersed among existing academic disciplines\, research institutes\, and loosely connected academic networks and associations. To strengthen the interconnectedness of STS in Germany\, c:o/re co-organizes STS-hub.de\, a conference series that brings together German organisations\, labs\, and research groups that are more or less closely related to STS. Please find a preliminary program and an overview of already participating groups\, organisations\, and networks here.

SUMMARY:"Wissenschaften des Konkreten" Conference (German)
DESCRIPTION:Abstraktion und Konkretion lassen sich als komplementäre epistemische Operationen betrachten\, die für die Literatur\, die Wissenschaften und die Künste gleichermaßen konstitutiv sind. Sie sind wirksam in Prozessen des Fingierens und Entwerfens\, in der Anverwandlung\, Anordnung und Beschreibung empirischer Gegenstände\, in der Begriffsbildung und Exemplifikation. Methoden und Kategorien der praxeologisch orientierten Wissenschaftsforschung aufgreifend\, befasst sich die Tagung mit historischen Konzepten und Verfahren der Konkretion und Abstraktion sowie mit künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Praktiken des Umgangs mit dem Konkreten: mit Verfahren der Beobachtung und Analyse\, des Sammelns und Klassifizierens\, der Präsentation und der Darstellung. Dabei soll der Begriff des Konkreten in seinen verschiedenen Facetten entfaltet und spezifiziert werden\, vom Einzelphänomen über das Individuelle und Subjektive bis hin zum Sinnlich-Anschaulichen und den Konnotationen des präzise Umrissenen\, Harten und Greifbaren. \nInformation und Anmeldung: konkret@germlit.rwth-aachen.de \nProgramm
