7th Annual Graduate Conference Cluster of Excellence "The Formation of Normative Orders"

The international Graduate Conference „Digital <Dis>Orders“ of the Cluster of Excellence "The Formation of Normative Orders" takes place 17-19 November 2016.

We welcome you to reflect with us on our arrival in digital normality so as to better understand the dynamics of digital order and disorder. We will touch upon such topics as the features and production of space in a digital society, the political economy of media and artistic production, the politics and modes of rule in the digital/posthuman age, the diffusion of responsibility in algorithmically controlled processes, and the social practices and subjectivities produced and assumed in a world of ubiquitous  connections and computers. Beyond these more academic engagements with the subject matter, we are happy to host a number of artistic interventions that challenge intuitive understandings of the forms of digital society and present alternative, creative representations of digital realities.

We are pleased to welcome the following Keynote-Lecturers:

  • Thursday, 17 November, 19:00 h (EG.01):
    Prof. Louise Amoore (Durham): “On Intuition: Machine Learning and Posthuman Ethics”
  • Friday, 18 November, 18:00 h (EG.01):
    Dr. Zach Blas (London): “Contra Internet“

Besides the lectures there will be installations, performances and workshops by Manetta Berends, Nicolas Maigret and Maria Roszkowska, Ruben van de Ven, Joana Chicau and Gian Luigi Scarpa.
