On the occasion of the completion of our DigitAS project and the start of our new beYOND project, we kindly invite you to a joint workshop on “The entanglements of people, materialities and technologies”, taking place as a virtual event on Friday, 3 June 2022, 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. (CEST/Vienna Time). This virtual workshop brings together researchers, students and interested members of the public to discuss the implications of digital media use in entangled spaces.
Organized by an interdisciplinary research team, the half-day workshop will include two Impulse Lectures, each of which will open one of our panels on the project DigitAS – The Digital, Affects and Space, a 3-year research project funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences that studied the implications of mobile social media use on the in-situ perception of public parks with an innovative methodological approach. The first panel will focus on “Researching the entanglements of people, materialities and technologies in public spaces”, presenting the DigitAS research design as well as key empirical and methodological findings from the mixed-methods study using mobile eye-tracking. The second panel will look into “The socio-technological futures of public spaces”, giving insights into possible futures of Augmented Reality use in public spaces derived from a survey-based scenario building process, and into the methodical potential of 3D visualisations in outdoor environments.
A third panel, titled “The socio-material implications of young people’s digital media use”, will then be dedicated to our recently started project beYOND – Young People Negotiating Difference in cON/FFlating spaces, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). Over a 4-year period, this project will look into and compare the experiences of young people in the crucial transition phase after school with a longitudinal multi-method research design in three European countries (Austria, Germany and Spain). After a presentation of the project outline, an interdisciplinary roundtable on “Creating safe, non-violent, and inclusive cON/FFlating spaces with young people” will discuss the contributions that researchers can make in the field.
The workshop will take place in virtual format. The link to the virtual conference room (Zoom) will be sent directly to the participants. You can register as listener here until and including Tue, 31 May 2022.
