Hi Matthew K. Gold,
——————————
Jesse Merandy (http://nycdh.org/members/jmerandy/) posted an update in the
group NYCDH Announcements
(http://nycdh.org/groups/nycdh-announcements-71439400/):
Looking for speakers for an upcoming Symposium, “Digital Afterlife” held at
Bard Graduate Center on March 1, 2019 in New York City. Please read the
following description and contact me at jesse.merandy@bgc.bard.edu if you,
or someone that you know, might be a good fit!
With our continued investment in and interaction with technologies, an
increasing amount of our intellectual and creative output is born digital
or has been converted to digital platforms.
As a consequence, we have been presented with new opportunities to revive,
remix, and reimagine past projects, prolonging their life and making them
available to new audiences in innovative ways. At the same time, we have
had to confront a multitude of long-term issues and impacts, including the
sustainability and maintenance of our digital projects, as well as the
privacy and accessibility of our personal information. This symposium
explores digital afterlives: how we resurrect, preserve, and extend through
digital means; the ways in which our accumulated online data haunts and
challenges us; and the ways in which we process and understand our own
mortality through the lens of the digital. Papers presented will explore
this topic through a variety of technologies that will help illuminate the
changes, opportunities, and disorientations we face and their implications
for the future.
