Course Description
Social engagement in the network paradigm is in crisis and one can no longer discuss network culture the same way one did in the 90s. How can technology be different if not dominated by computational logics or techno-determinism? How can art redefine and expand, technological use values? What is socially engaged art in relation to techno-systems? Socially Engaged Computing is a two-day workshop that will work collaboratively to research and imagine new forms social engagement and computing by crossing the terrain of art, technology and theory. Using key ideas and case studies from philosophy of technology, media theory, game studies, programming, and socially engaged art, the workshop encourage participants to build upon an area of interest or expertise within the context of art, technology and social engagement.
