Dear all, Executions: conversations on code, power & death (version 0.1)
We invite researchers across disciplines to join in for a two-days event, including a PhD masterclass + Open keynotes and workshops at Aarhus with scholars such as Wendy Chun, Geoff Cox, Christian Ulrik Andersen, Søren Pold and Cornelia Sollfrank, where we will explore the topic of execution. This event investigates the cultural, material and political implications of execution. Software permeates our environment. We co-exist in an increasingly datafied present in which algorithms and abstract coded processes execute across different scales, materialising and operating at the micro and macro levels of our actions. The aim of this event is to open up the concept of execution, both from a particular perspective of code and its execution, and more generally towards a wider discussion in relation to datafied culture and everyday life. How can we understand the affective, embodied, performative, programmed processes of execution in the world today? By gathering together researchers working with diverse artistic practices, we hope to encourage a critical curiosity and engagement with the theme of execution.
