Dear previous participants,
This is the call for the summer symposium, "What a waste: surplus art, theory
and tékhnē", which will be the first summer session of our three year
symposium series called:
"Cybioses – life in the future imperfect"
You can find a longer description of our symposium series and the abstract
submission at the link below. It also includes all the details and background
information:

erfect/
The symposium is part of the Nordic Summer University (NSU), which organizes
Nordic networks for interdisciplinary study and research, pioneering topics
like technology, environmentalism, feminism within its tradition
(see www.nsuweb.org). During the summer symposium there are many different
symposia that are held at the same location, where all participants stay
during its entire duration (see the link above for more information and the
costs).
Deadline for Abstract Submission: Monday the 12th of May, 2023.
Date & Place of the Symposium: July 27th– August 3th, 2023, Palanga
Lithuania
We invite scholars, artists, students, technologists, theorists and other
professionals working or writing on topics related to "waste" to submit. Are
approaches to "waste" as a meaningful intellectual category. Accordingly, the
title "What a waste", begs the question of how to act with a less obvious lack
of care and to act with purpose, which also extends to (our own) intellectual
concerns and related practices. Which ones should have value, which should
not? How do we decide what about art, theory and tékhnē are a waste, and
what not?
We welcome experimental approaches to presenting and collaborating and we hope
this topic will deepen and re-new our collaboration, with previous and new
participants. Feel free to contact us if you are wondering how you would fit
in.
Please send your abstracts with a short motivation letter and bio to us by
the 12th of May to eric.deibel@nsuweb.org. And, please, help us spread the
word.
We look forward to your submissions and ask questions if you have them,
Eric Deibel, (Assistant Professor/Lecturer, Bilkent University STS program),
also on behalf of:
Palle Dahlstedt (Professor of Interaction Design, University of Gothenburg /
Chalmers) and
Maru Mushtrieva (Researcher and text- and sound-artist with a background in
literature and based between Berlin and Brussels.)
