SUMMARY:A Philosophy of Artscience: Something Old\, Something Novel - Clarissa Lee
DESCRIPTION:“A Philosophy of Artscience: Something Old\, Something Novel” by Clarissa Lee (transdisciplinary researcher\, c:o/re Aachen). \nAbstract: \nThis talk explores how one could develop and apprehend a philosophically intuited syzygy that is art and science\, giving way to art-science and artscience (without the hyphen). However\, this is not merely about what philosophy could do for artscience (the un-hyphenated version is the speaker’s preferred choice for reasons to be explained in the talk)\, but also untangles and highlights the simultaneous (and comparative) philosophical arguments that invariably\, even if not intentionally\, exert the co-existence of art-like (filtered through aesthetics) and science-like (filtered through cognitive acts of logic) subjects in epistemological discussions that often reinforce reductive representations of art and science. This talk traces the philosophy of artscience as it transports from fledgling theoretical constructs on ways of knowing and making knowledge to the recuperation of knowledge practices marginalized by the ‘over-professionalization’ of disciplines that led to the dehistoricization and decontextualization of contemporary technoscientifc knowledge\, while disrupting the chain of evidence following the tracks of such knowledge over space\, time\, and culture. This talk will also promulgate philosophy of artscience as a method for research and creative interventions within Science and Technology Studies + Art through some choice examples. \nClarissa Ai Ling Lee was a senior lecturer with the Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Malaya\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia\, with research specialization at the intersection of performance studies\, design studies\, science and technology studies\, cultural studies\, and digital media studies. Previously she has held research positions at the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies at the National University of Malaysia (UKM)\, the Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development and Jeffrey Cheah Institute on Southeast Asia\, both at Sunway University Malaysia. She has researched and published on diverse topics in STS ranging from Malaysia’s history in the physical/nuclear sciences\, participatory-speculative design in policy development\, digital infrastructures and social hacking\, as well as epistemologies of artscience. She is presently working on her monograph\, Speculative Technoscience\, that proposes a review of scientific epistemology of the global south through the mediating concept of ‘science-like’ knowledge as contextualized by artscience and queer epistemologies. \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series “Complexity“.

SUMMARY:Artificial Intelligence: The Brand That Wouldn’t Die. A lecture by Professor Thomas Haigh
DESCRIPTION:The history of AI is the history of an overhyped brand that has only very recently come to signify a set of deployable technologies with broad application and clear\, if somewhat horrifying\, purposes. Over almost seventy years it’s been attached to a range of loosely related projects\, none of which have yet come close to delivering on the promise of creating computer systems with human-like intelligence. One insider characterized the story of AI as “the history of failed ideas.” Yet in the process of failing\, early AI researchers made vital but incidental contributions to the development of computer technology and computer science. In this talk I’ll ask where did discussion of artificial intelligence come from\, why was it so attractive to researchers and sponsors\, and what did the lofty rhetoric of machine intelligence have to do with the actual practice of artificial intelligence as it institutionalized through research labs\, curricula\, textbooks\, and professional associations? I’ll also look for continuities and discontinuities between our own moment and earlier cycles of AI hype and disillusionment. \nThomas Haigh\, PhD is Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Comenius Visiting Professor of the History of Computing at Siegen University. He has published on many aspects of the history of computing including the evolution of data base management systems\, word processing\, the software package\, corporate computer departments\, Internet software\, computing in science fiction\, the “software crisis” of the 1960s\, IBM in Europe\, and the Colossus code breaking machines.

SUMMARY:Exposures\, Photographic and Otherwise: Complex Encounters with Toxicity - Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou
DESCRIPTION:Exposures\, Photographic and Otherwise: Complex Encounters with Toxicity – Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou. \nAbstract: \n“Exposure\,” as a term\, freely flows in different contexts\, from environmentalist and activist circles to scientific and medical discourse. Levels of exposure—to radiation\, to lead\, to asbestos\, and beyond—are deemed safe or unsafe by shifting regulatory frameworks. And more often than not\, these levels are “terribly uneven” in their social distribution (Alaimo 2010). In the practice of photography\, exposure precedes the revelation of the image—it registers on the negative an image that is latent. Photographic and toxic exposures unexpectedly came together in uranium mines in the 1960s and 1970s\, when workers used photographic film to measure levels of exposure to radon (Hecht 2012; van Wyck 2010). This talk moves through intersecting meanings of “exposure” in an attempt to think together figures that usually sit apart: the photographer and the miner. \nDr. Kyveli Mavrokordopoulou is a historian of modern and contemporary art\, specializing in the relationship between art and science with an emphasis on nuclear technologies. Her interdisciplinary scholarship\, at the intersection of art history and the environmental humanities\, engages nuclear aesthetics\, the visual culture of extraction\, and material histories of art and the environment. She was awarded her PhD from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales\, Paris in 2021\, supported by an Onassis Foundation scholarship\, with a dissertation entitled Dwelling\, Extracting\, Burying: Nuclear Imaginaries in Contemporary Art (1970-2020). She is an affiliate researcher at the Centre Georg Simmel\, EHESS\, Paris. She has held visiting fellowships in environmental humanities centres at Carleton University\, Ottawa (2018) and VU University\, Amsterdam (2019) and was a curatorial fellow of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (2020-21). Currently\, she is working on an exhibition about the atomic age at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris (fall 2024). \nThis event is part of our summer semester 2023 lecture series “Complexity”.
