Dear members of the Yasmin list,
[apologies for any crossposting]

This call may be of interest for those of you interested in the crossover between media and cities:

------------------
Dear all,

We are happy to announce that the 5th edition of the Media Architecture Biennale <https://mab20.mediaarchitecture.org/> will take place in Amsterdam and Utrecht from 23-27 November 2020. It is the world?s premier event on media architecture, urban interaction design, digital placemaking, urban media art and urban informatics. This entails many great events such as workshops, symposia, presentations, tours and exhibitions, and a partnership with the Amsterdam Light Festival. There are plenty of ways of getting engaged and consequently many different calls that might be of your interest.

The theme of the 2020 edition is #Futures Implied, which opens up investigations into future scenarios implied in today?s urban technologies like digital platforms and smart city technologies. How can we shape technologies to respond to their surroundings, contributing to cities that are both socially and ecologically sustainable? The point of departure is that technologies are never neutral enablers, they are built upon numerous spoken and unspoken assumptions about urban life, each with their own implications for both social relations as well as their effect on the natural ecosystem.

We already have a number of calls that are open, with more to follow soon. Please find our Call for Papers here: https://mab20.mediaarchitecture.org/calls/call-for-papers/ <https://mab20.mediaarchitecture.org/calls/call-for-papers/>. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

? The Aesthetics and Poetics of Responsive Urban Spaces
? Citizens? digital rights in the era of platform ecologies
? Playful & Artistic Civic Engagement
? Restorative Cities
? More-Than-Human Cities

For more information, check out our website mab20.org <https://mab20.mediaarchitecture.org/>. The calls with the earliest closing deadlines are:

? call for the workshop organizers (deadline: 18 January 2020)
? call for concepts for the Amsterdam Light Festival (deadline: 18 January 2020)

For any questions, please contact info@mab20.org <mailto:info@mab20.org>, or any member of the organizing team (see below).

Best wishes from the organizing team,

Martijn de Waal (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) b.g.m.de.waal@hva.nl <mailto:b.g.m.de.waal@hva.nl>

Nanna Verhoeff (Utrecht University) n.verhoeff@uu.nl <mailto:n.verhoeff@uu.nl>

MAB 20 is organized by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences <https://www.amsterdamuas.com/> and the [urban interfaces] group at Utrecht University <https://www.uu.nl/>, in collaboration with the International Media Architecture Institute <https://www.mediaarchitecture.org/>.

yasminers
i thought i would bring into our wwwasp discussion the growing number of
publications that document and advocate the work of our srtscitech
community of practice

louis-jose lestorcard sends us the announcement for Links: The Art Of
Linking
LINKs" (Art of Linking) is an annual transdisciplinary review. As a
meeting place between hard sciences and humanities, *LINKs* will link
scientific and artistic news (and reflexions) and also address the fields
of philosophical thought (and also political) questioning the technical
domains, the innovation academics as well as the societies? evolution.
*LINKs* will probe everything that can connect in thinking into a complex,
dynamic and reflexive approach, and propose a new aesthetic.

let me encourage yasminers to bring to our attention other publications
that warrant our attention

English language

So you can find LINKs on the site : http://links-series.com
"LINKs" (Art of Linking) is an annual transdisciplinary review. As a
meeting place between hard sciences and humanities, *LINKs* will link
scientific and artistic news (and reflexions) and also address the fields
of philosophical thought (and also political) questioning the technical
domains, the innovation academics as well as the societies? evolution.
*LINKs* will probe everything that can connect in thinking into a complex,
dynamic and reflexive approach, and propose a new aesthetic.
*LINKs* will assert the need for a non-linear vision and a thought of
Complexity to consider and understand the world?s phenomena and
contemporary political, social and technical issues. At the same time
demanding and accessible, *LINKS* will offer an idea of epistemological
reflection based on an in-depth knowledge of techniques and artistic and
scientific innovations. Each contributor, coming from very diverse
backgrounds, would thus bring his point of view.

Keywords: scientific current events, artistic current events, epistemology,
philosophy, phenomenology, sociology, politics, theory of art, photography,
cinema, video, experimental movies, cinema in virtual reality , physics,
quantum physics, (quantum information, decoh?rence, bohmian ideas ?,),

interactive installations, virtual reality, mixed reality, innovation,
artificial intelligence, robotics, medicine, biology, theoretical biology,
auto-organization, multi-agents systems, bioart, land art, art market, etc.
It will remains open.

Hello everyone,


My name is Catalina, I'm a designer from Colombia, currently based in Dallas,
U.S.


My areas of research are Participatory Art & Design, and Feminist Science
and Technology Studies. I'm currently exploring technologies and machine
learning algorithms involved in aggravating mass incarceration in the U.S.,
and creating visualizations of such systems.

You can explore the rest of my work here: www.crystal-violet.com


I'm looking for opportunities to collaborate with organizations, art
collectives or residences in the U.S. and Latin America, interested in
exploring issues of algorithmic bias, policing, design and pedagogy.


Excited to be part of this list, and looking forward to learning from you
all!

Catalina

interesting that you bring up "algorithmic bias". As you may know Paul
Fishwick
and I organised a workshop at Dahgstuhl in germany on 'Aesthetic Computing'
the book was published: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/aesthetic-computing
with contributions from the Mignoneaux
wolfgang strauss, diana gromala, donna cox, jau bolter and others

we noted: The assumption behind aesthetic computing is that the field of
computing will be enriched if it embraces all of aesthetics. Human-computer
interaction will benefit?"usability," for example, could refer to improving
a user's emotional state?and new models of learning will emerge.

One area that we didnt anticipate very well was how computing systems,
most notably AI right now, all
use implicit biases that arent always explicit. Fishwick currently
emphasises the importance of 'modelling' followed by varieties of
visualisation to make implicit biases explicit: what is connected to
what-and what cannot be connected to what, not by design but reflecting the
biaseses of the coders. How do coders co-design with the cultural
communities they claim to benefit ?

This is part of a larger naivete i think that we all had in the 80s and 90s
that somehow the internet would be a 'neutral" medium. The question now
clearly posed of what biases we WANT to have in the algorythms,

the artscitech communities of practices are astride all these questions-
but maybe paul and i
made a mistake in not talking about both the ethics and aesthetic computing

i look forward to your thoughts given your cultural background (Colombia)
but aslo a variety
of professional backgrounds.

i was struck on your website: www.crystal-violet.com
