RMeS RMa course: Arts, Life Science and Digital Culture

July 4, 2022/in RMeS News /by Chantal

November-December 2022 | Leiden University
In this course students examine ethical and humanistic dimensions of life sciences through art and reflect on the application of digital methods within science. From the onset of medical research in history, the cultural worlds of art and science have interacted. More recently, artists have been directly inspired by the fields of genetics, bioinformatics and biophysics and by the media employed and generated by them. The science-art relationship has become an exciting and dynamic field where controversial ethical issues, societal consequences of technoscience, and the art of science itself are being addressed.

RMeS Workshop: Context convergence: Exploring the implications of our interconnectedness with contacts, platforms, and spaces

June 22, 2022/in RMeS News /by Chantal

3 October 2022 | Erasmus University Rotterdam
Messaging colleagues from a holiday destination, following news accounts on Instagram, joining conferences from home, keeping up with family from a distance, receiving notifications when new tv series are released… Mobile technologies have not only become our main source of communication but became an indispensable object in our everyday lives. We are permanently connected to social contacts, platform services and content, and digital and non-digital spaces, which causes social contexts to collapse. This goes beyond the collapsing of digital audiences as is often described in media research (Marwick & boyd, 2010; Vitak, 2012) because it entails the converging of digital and non-digital contexts.

June 22, 2022/in RMeS News /by Chantal

April – May 2023 | University of Amsterdam
In the past few years, disinformation has become firmly established as a fundamental concern for digital media studies research.
