Il seminario verterà sul testo in allegato, di cui si raccomanda la lettura per avere una partecipazione attiva al seminario. D'accordo con l'autrice ci siamo impegnati a non diffondere il testo al di fuori della nostra comunità scientifica trattandosi di materiale ancora non pubblicato.

Orit Halpern bio:
"I am a Strategic Hire in Interactive Design and Theory and an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University, Montréal. My work bridges the histories of science, computing, and cybernetics with design and art practice. My most recent book Beautiful Data: A History of Vision and Reason since 1945 (Duke Press 2015) is a genealogy of interactivity and our contemporary obsessions with “big” data and data visualization. I am currently working on two academic books and also some comic books (see below) The first book, titled The Smartness Mandate, is a history and theory of “smartness”, environment, and ubiquitous computing and the second is about extreme infrastructures, futurity, and habitat.I am also a co-director of the Speculative Life Research Lab a design research cluster at the intersection of art and the life sciences, architecture and design, and computational media that is part of the Milieux, Institute for Technology, Art and Culture https://milieux.concordia.ca I have also published and created works for a variety of venues including The Journal of Visual Culture, Public Culture, Configurations, C-theory, and ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany."
