The digital revolution and the digitalisation of information has permeated nearly every facet of our lives. It has provided more accurate models to predict disasters, optimized rapid prototyping and digital fabrication, created free training data for LLMs, enabled healthcare alternatives via smart fabrics as well as allowed for information archiving and free accessibility through the World Wide Web.
But as we move ever closer to fulfilling the role of Homo Digitalis, we still find new emergent and interstitial spaces for communication, interaction and inhabitation that bridge the realms between the virtual and the physical. Our fourth iteration of the BOL/HP Symposium seeks to directly engage in these interstitial spaces through presenting and discussing a number of projects that bridge this divide in innovative ways in both scientific and artistic practice.
Event in German and English. The panels will consist of keynotes and Q&A sessions. The venues are the rooms of the BOL and the garden at Einsteinufer 43, 10587 Berlin. A live stream will be available on Zoom.
Participation is free of charge.
