In 2024, we had the honor of hosting the Politics of the Machines conference in Aachen. We are very happy to announce that the conference proceedings are out now!
Many thanks to Ana María Guzmán Olmos, Gabriele Gramelsberger, Laura Beloff, Morten Søndergaard, Hassan Choubassi, Joe Elias and all the other authors for their contributions.
You can find the publications online as open access online: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
The overall theme of the POM-conference series is the question of how the machine and technology impact and contextualize artistic and cultural production and our perception of the world. Moreover, it is aiming at investigating the histories, theories and practices of machines and technologies in-between and beyond disciplines. It seeks to question the governing ideas in the sciences and the humanities through critical engagement with and empowerment of activities of creative production in the relational field of culture – technology – umwelt.
