SUMMARY:New Materialist Informatics 2021: Computing and Worldmaking
DESCRIPTION:New Materialist Informatics 2021 is an international conference
  that connects informatics and the humanities & social sciences through the
  innovative field of new materialist research. It is dedicated to exploring
  sociotechnical approach to informatics and relation between informatics an
 d social, cultural, environmental and political domains. In recent decades 
 new materialist thought has emerged as a transversal field of inquiry with 
 central foci around agency and vitality of matter, mutual shaping of matter
  and meaning, and productive exchange between the social sciences & the hum
 anities and the STEM and life sciences. It is 11th in the series of new mat
 erialist conferences and it invites participants to investigate the possibl
 e intersections between, and beyond, new materialism and informatics. How c
 an new materialism and informatics be brought together in ways that help bu
 ild liveable and sustainable techno-lifeworlds? What new perspectives with 
 regard to contemporary crises might emerge at such intersection and beyond?
  What kind of conceptual and methodological tools are needed for new materi
 alist informatics design and research? This conference wishes to include an
 d go beyond the new materialist readings of computing and computational art
 efacts and generate innovative perspectives on how techno-worldings can be 
 performed from a new materialist perspective.\n\nConfirmed Keynotes:\n\n* S
