[Commlist] Hype Studies Conference Programme

Jascha Bareis is happy to announce the preliminary programme for the the 
first Hype Studies conference '(Don't) believe the hype?!', taking place 
10th-12th of Sepember at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (fully 
hybrid / fully free).

We are indebted to all contributors who enabled us to assort a diverse, 
truly cross-disciplinary and exciting programme to understand, assess 
and challenge hype in all its societal forms.

Over 100 researchers, activists, technologists and artists submitted 
their thought-provoking proposals for our upcoming event in September.

Conference participants will have a chance to learn about critical 
analyses of AI, venture capitalism, quantum technologies, green energy 
fuels and many other topics. Aside from the packed programme of talks, 
we'll be offering workshops (on 'shitpublishing!' AI metaphors! Hype 
mapping!), an art exhibition (anyone interested in saliva and Pavlov's 
dog?) and film screening.

Online participation is possible after registration under:
