Event overview
Design and Social Science Seminar Series
The presentation will describe four years work attempting to inhabit genomic databases ethnographically using a variety of methods, some of which involved repurposing bioinformatics tools and scientific visualizations, some of which entailed events and online encounters with genomic researchers. We describe the morphological and dimensional tensions of genomic data, the cantilevered and highly-leveraged epistemic cultures of data-intensive life sciences, and our idiotic attempts to construct provocations using data found in the genomic databases.
