Resistance
A conference of digital literature, culture, and art
National University of Galway, Ireland
30 April - 1 May 2020
Keynote speakers:
What constitutes acts of resistance in today’s era of digital
surveillance and algorithmic determination? How can artists and other creative
makers introduce new modes of engaging with digital technologies that reveal
and challenge increasingly uninhabitable conditions? And how do challenges
related to digital platforms and networked media environments intersect with
pressing societal issues, including economic and social inequality, or the
environmental crisis?
Submissions are invited for 20-minute presentations or creative contributions,
pertaining to different methods of resistance in relation to or using digital
technology and culture, or related topics addressing acts of resistance.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Tactical media and technology
- Hacktivism
- AI/machine learning and algorithms of resistance
- Human rights and the posthuman
- Privacy and surveillance
- Computer vision, facial recognition, biometrics
- Borders and migration
- Climate change and climate justice
- Occupation
- Gender: fluid, nonbinary, trans
- Radical passivity and creative spaces of refusal
