Digital technologies have changed the public arena, but there is little scholarly consensus about how they have done so. This book rethinks the workings and dysfunctions of the contemporary public arena, and considers ways to improve it.
This project builds on fieldwork at Camp Grounded’s digital detox, where people were fighting a sense of disenchantment in modern life. Focusing on the way devices are interwoven throughout our lives, it rethinks the role of technology in society.
This project will examine the role of digital media in improving social understanding, with a particular focus on how trust can develop in the shared understanding of history and climate change.
This project interrogates the impact of AI on cultural heritages and the presentation of these futures through public-facing exhibition spaces. It will interrogate the agency of AI within exhibit contexts, exploring its role in creativity.
By Anne Ploin, Rebecca Eynon, Isis Hjorth, and Michael A. Osborne
