[Liuhum] LiU-Humanities events, spring 2022

[Olga Zabalueva]

Dear colleagues,

Warm welcome to the two spring events with LiU-Humanities (please spread the information in your networks):


·         Images, computation and machinic intelligibility (LiU-Humanities and Tema Q seminar)
17 February 2022, 13:00-15.30 (CEST, GMT+1)

Contemporary visual culture is highly affected by algorithms trained to “see” and distribute images. Machine learning and deep neural networks – often presented under the broader umbrella Artificial Intelligence – impact the feeds of search engines and social media. They are also employed to generate new works of art and offer new ways of doing research when they are used to detect and act upon patterns in large datasets.

This seminar discusses a set of urgent questions. How can scholars within the humanities understand and approach the ontologies and epistemologies of machine learning and neural networks? What new relations between seeing and knowing emerge in the wake of this recent technology for producing and circulating art works, museum collections and photos?

Invited speakers

M. Beatrice Fazi is Reader in Digital Humanities in the School of Media, Arts and Humanities at the University of Sussex. Her background is philosophy. Her work explores questions located at the intersection of philosophy, technoscience and culture.

Geoff Cox is Associate Professor/co-Director of the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image (CSNI) at London South Bank University and at Aarhus University. He has a research interest in software studies and contemporary aesthetics.

Chair: Bodil Axelsson, professor Culture and Society LiU

·         Conference: Bridging research praxes across pluralities of knowledge (COMPASS, Tema Q. and LiU-Humanities)
26-28 April 2022, time and programme will be announced at Conference webpage<https://liu.se/en/article/conference-bridging-research-praxes-across-pluralities-of-knowledge> where you can also find invitation to contribute (DL 21/02)


We invite you to participate in an interdisciplinary and international conference consisting of dialogues on ethics, collaboration, and knowledge production. The conference is organized around three principal areas of discussion – research ethics and shared authority, citizen science/research, and metrics, value, and recognition. Each of these three areas will be the subject of a dedicated dialogue session involving researchers working within academia and an equal number of researchers working outside the academy from a variety of disciplines, research fields, and geographical locations, with one or two moderators.
