Workshop am 05. November 2024 – „Data-fied Domesticity. Approaches to Data-sensing domestic environments and imagining otherwise“

In this seminar-style workshop, communication and technology expert Dr. Heather Suzanne Woods invites conversation and collaboration around scholarly and personal investigation of data-sensing domestic environments (sometimes known as smart homes.) Using the introduction and a case study from her recent book Threshold: How Smart Homes Change Us Inside and Out, Woods will guide participants through a discussion on the challenges and benefits of investigating the intersections of digitality, space, and culture, with a particular focus on digital domestic spaces (smart homes). Participants will be invited to imagine how researchers can contribute to finding/building a “smart homeplace,” which Woods playfully poses as the alternative to corporatized, technoliberal smart homes that privilege the pleasure of few digital subjects over the collective wellbeing of the majority.
