Event overview
International research forum hosted by Goldsmiths' Department of Visual Cultures
The acceleration of data constitutes one of the most powerful transformative forces in the world today and is radically changing both the way we live our daily lives and processes operating on a global scale. The international research forum DATA PUBLICS seeks to explore the political implications of hybridised data environments in which individual, commercial and governmental agendas and actions are becoming increasingly blurred. Through both theoretical and artistic explorations it inquires into the impact of a “data mentality” on our expectations and articulations of public spheres, experiments with new visual and cultural modes of binary transgression within the digital public realm and speculates on new models of governance in the context of self-generating data publics. At a time when governments become increasingly private and citizens increasingly public, we argue that it is vital to look into the critical pluralities of both data and publics.
