Inter/sections takes on the ethics and politics of media and technology through a free programme of workshops, talks, events and an art exhibition.
Following the rise of unprecedented activism and political protests in the past year, Inter/sections 2017 explores how artists and technologists use different networks, databases, and systems to raise awareness of ethical and political issues around technologies.
Now in its second year, it will take place from 3 – 8 September 2017 at The Art Pavilion in Clinton Road, Mile End Park.
Media and Arts Technology (MAT) at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) invite attendees to engage with topics ranging from the ethics of data privacy to the political effects of social media.
Workshops and talks with artists and technology activists will question how current political systems impact evolving technologies and introduce ways that technology can subvert them.
Inter/sections is supported by the EPSRC+AHRC Media and Arts Technology CDT, Queen Mary University of London, and the EPSRC Digital Economy Network.
