A recent adventure in which I’ve been involved in organising (with Sophie Hope and Lorraine Lim) is a Summer Term 2011 postgraduate workshop series on Doing research amongst technologies. Aside from work going into convening the different sessions in the workshop series, I managed to talk myself into co-leading the opening workshop. Luckily, I had a very interesting collaborator in Jake Strickland, a virtuoso user of digital media in his own work as an artist, curator and filmmaker. We decided to start things off by being outrageously foundational, and asked our participants the very basic question: what counts as technologies? An account of how that went, and other things we discussed, can be found by reading some reflections on the session over on the workshop series’ blog/website. Details can also be found there for anyone interested in registering for the sessions to come.
