Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the special issue on New Materialist
Informatics, edited by Goda Klumbyte and Claude Draude, has been published by
the journal MATTER: Journal of New Materialist Research.
The special issue presents work spanning humanities, social sciences, arts,
computer science and design that engages intersections of new materialism and
informatics. Seeking to showcase some of the practices and possible directions
of new materialist informatics as a research and design field, the articles
presented in this issue address crossovers and convergences between
engineering, human-computer interaction, arts, media and culture studies,
philosophy, political economy, robotics, architecture,and design. Accordingly,
they also present different understandings of materiality as it engages
informatics, as well as different methods, varying from historical
genealogies, computational experiments, to theoretical analyses and theory-led
interventions. This methodological diversity is crucial for new materialist
informatics as an emerging transdisciplinary field.
Matter: Journal of New Materialist Research is a scientific, open and peer
reviewed journal designed as a space for dialogue and reflection upon about
the interdisciplinary and contemporary turn to matter.The research presented
in the journal explores new modes of engaging materiality and how that impacts
research practices and the relation between researcher and the object of
research.
