We are addressing researchers with diverse backgrounds interested in opening up some of the paradoxes of contemporary digital art and culture. Although the workshop is primarily aimed at international PhD researchers, it is also open to researchers who are pursuing research without institutional support. > > The workshop aims at researching concepts and phenomena that, in the light of the festival's thematic framework, have become destabilised by network culture and digital media (see below).

Back When Pluto Was a Planet, life might have seemed more innocent, yet whole cultural imaginaries, like planetary systems, may change overnight, and technical and cultural paradigms along with them. The festival will take this fragility of culture as a point of departure for exploring the disruptive potential of technological development and artistic practice. Can we act like BWPWAP and at same time redefine present and future cultural practices, inventing networks out of place and out of time? > > This conference and workshop, which precedes transmediale, asks how BWPWAP can be interpreted in the context of research culture that has been significantly destabilised by network culture and digital media. If Pluto didn't exactly fall prey to an epistemological break or a scientific revolution, but rather to a mundane administrative procedure ? a redefinition of what constitutes a planet and the invention of the category "dwarf planet" ? then what does this say about contemporary research culture? Is research today occupied more with mundane acts of recategorisation, and ? after Bologna ? with what Lyotard already called performativity? Or does it still engage the kind of marvel and wonder that so many ascribe to Pluto and that BWPWAP captures as a cultural term? If BWPWAP captures a time when transmedial culture was researched outside academia, how does network culture and digital media then contribute to and transform research culture, forcing it out of its closet and, if not into the solar system, then at least beyond the academy? > > BWPWAP, network culture was already becoming subsumed by social media and more recently mobile media. Networking and other strategies within software and net culture have become enmeshed with everyday life and big business. Research culture was visited by a similar fate: conferences reduced to networking events to foster cultural capital, and scholarly communications reduced to impact factors measured by grant givers. In light of this, what complicity can be constructed, with or without Pluto, between network and research cultures? Can digital culture save research from itself, and vice versa? What kinds of technological and artistic practices are suggested by BWPWAP and might produce rhizomatic effects for research and digital culture? > > WORKSHOP EVENT AND PROCESS > > In the context of developing a platform for knowledge exchange, and research across the arts and sciences, transmediale and research groups at Aarhus and Leuphana universities have established a partnership to foster new forms of collaborative research, peer-review, publication and performative knowledge dissemination. The international research conference and PhD workshop takes transmediale's thematic framework as a broad starting point, and is a chance for researchers to share ideas and development processes across and beyond the time/space of academic research paradigms. The challenge is to salvage what there is to be salvaged from network culture and digital media for research, and vice versa. > > The workshop forms part of a series of events initiated by reSource transmedial culture berlin, which is an initiative of transmediale based on continuous network knowledge development and community involvement around the festival throughout the year. The event itself will be an interdisciplinary conference and workshop where PhD students and other participants can engage with members of the three participating institutions and invited international guests. One aspect of the conference will be a writing workshop wherein new digital writing practices and forms of collaborative writing will be explored. Ahead of the conference, invited participants will be asked to take part in an online discussion and collaboration process as an experiment in the peer production of knowledge. After the conference, participants will be involved in the production of a peer-reviewed research newspaper ? itself an experiment in new forms of scholarly publication, and to be presented and distributed at transmediale 2013. > > The event follows on from similar events organised in 2012 and 2011 at Universit?t der K?nste (Berlin), and Aarhus University, respectively.

All welcome. Please RSVP by 21 August to Christy Nguy c.nguy at uws.edu.au Dr Jennifer Gabrys, Department of Design, Goldsmiths, University of London Programming Environments: Politics and Practices of Urban Sensing Urban sensing technologies are an increasing feature of urban design and media design. From ?Senseable? to ?Sentient? cities, as well as numerous projects that deploy mobile and embedded sensors to monitor everything from air pollution to traffic patterns, urban processes are now unfolding through wireless sensor technologies. This paper will focus on a particular aspect of urban sensing projects, namely those actual and speculative proposals that suggest wireless sensing technologies are a way to achieve more sustainable and efficient cities. Initiatives in this area propose on one level to make infrastructures more efficient. But on another level, citizens who monitor and make more efficient their everyday urban activities become central to urban sustainability projects. These monitoring practices in some ways may translate into ground-up contributions to urban environmental policy. But in what ways do these projects constitute a form of environmentality, or the distribution of governance within and through environments and environmental technologies? And what are the implications of these newer distributions of power for urban citizens and ways of life? Bio Jennifer Gabrys is Senior Lecturer and Convenor of the MA Design and Environment at Goldsmiths, University of London.

The capacity of digital services to create knowledge from a range of sources has led some commentators to argue that digital services are a factor in redefining human agency because these services link, combine and compute data to create new knowledge (e.g. Lash, 1999; Lyotard, 1984). This, they argue is resulting in non-human knowledge systems rather that knowledge created by humans within cultural frameworks. The paper critically engages with these debates to explore the ways in which digital services are made meaningful through the way individuals interpret and use them. It focuses on three contexts in which agency and digital services interact to provide insights into the framework and characteristics of agency in these settings. The three areas that are addressed are: virtual city modelling (VCM), digital or electronic assisted living technology (EAT), and Second Life (SL). The conclusion points out that human agency is influential in these services in that it is situated in particular spaces and contexts, reflects on the past, assesses the present, and looks to the future. The agency of individuals is also important in generating knowledge in digital services, and is part of a personalised form of participation in consumer culture.

To celebrate the launch of Issue 20 of The Fibreculture Journal ?Networked Utopias and Speculative Futures? (http://twenty.fibreculturejournal.org) we invite you to a workshop gathering to explore the themes raised by the Issue, their relation to our recent Call for Papers; The Politics of Trolling and The Negative Space of the Internet (http://fibreculturejournal.org/category/cfp/), and to engage those themes in open speculation and provocation regarding the possible futures and future directions for FCJ after 10 Years and 20 Issues of open access publishing and networked research creation. Between the recently published Networked Utopias and Speculative Futures (2012) issue and the forthcoming Trolls issue (Submissions Open) there is a rich uniquely fibrecultural vein concerned with the politics, desires and dynamics of network culture, creation, and community. Join us in a get together of fibrecultural thinkers, past, present and future to work through these dynamics and the creative/disruptive potential they describe. September 24th. 12.30 - 4.00pm Room 25-163 Faculty of Creative Arts University of Wollongong.
