[Commlist] Violence & Visibility in Computational Regimes conference

Sun Mar 12 23:26:36 GMT 2023






Violence & Visibility in Computational Regimes

24- 25 March John Cabot University Via dellaLungara233 Rome


organized by the Department of Communications and Media Studies, John Cabot University

in collaboration with Duke University and The Institute of Network Cultures


/What does it mean to study the interplay between violence and visuality in its networked form? What kind of new visual and political arrangements, and modalities of violence, are coming into being by virtue of the new distribution of the sensible in computational regimes? How does the relationship between violence and visuality change, and who are the subjects shaping it, consciously and unconsciously, and with what consequences? How do we understand and redefine this relationship given the neocolonial and inherently predatory nature of data capitalism that extracts value from everyone and everything, mostly silently and invisibly, at the infrastructural level of metadata? //How do we conceptualize this imperceptible (infrastructural) violence?/


Attendance is free of charge. Students, scholars in their early career, artists, activists, etc. , are all welcome.
