Symposium

The symposium focused on the possibilities of breaking down technological hierarchies in the desire for a more democratic and interconnected digital and analogue future, transcending the boundaries of scientific discourse. Among those presenting their work were transdisciplinary artist and researcher Isabel Burr Raty; visual artist and researcher Antye Guenther; theoretical physics researcher, inventor, philosopher and writer Andrej Detela; and Peggy Pierrot, a researcher involved in projects bridging information technology, the humanities, activism, popular culture and radio art.
