Cultivating Data Natures ¨C come and see how data shapes futures
²ÝÁñÊÓƵ University is all set to host a special event exploring how data shapes our relationship with place, environment, and the future
The University’s School of Arts and the Future Places Centre, a hub for experimental research into data, design, and environmental futures, presents on Wednesday, 9 July, a free public event at the Nuffield Theatre on campus.
Cultivating Data Natures brings together internationally renowned contributors in a lively setting for an evening of art, performance and talks.
The theme of cultivation runs throughout the evening as a research and innovation method.
Globally recognised voices include Jonathan Gray, BRiGHTBLACK, and Abelardo Gil-Fournier and Jussi Parikka.
The event marks the culmination of the Future Places Centre, ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ’s hub for experimental research into data, design, and environmental futures.
Through talks, performance, and film, the evening will examine themes of cultivation, care, and speculation in a time of ecological transformation.
Highlights include a preview of Jonathan Gray’s forthcoming book Public Data Cultures, a speculative AI-led performance lecture by BRiGHTBLACK, and the film LUMI, a meditative video essay on landscape and machine vision.
Presented in partnership with Abandon Normal Devices, Deco Publique, and ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Arts, the event invites audiences to imagine more just and sustainable data futures.
Registration is free but essential via the website.
