BOL Symposium
Utility an Bias: Connecting spaces of digital and analog research
BOL Symposium
The digital revolution and the digitalisation of information has permeated nearly every facet of our lives. It has provided more accurate models to predict disasters, optimized rapid prototyping and digital fabrication, created free training data for LLMs, enabled healthcare alternatives via smart fabrics as well as allowed for information archiving and free accessibility through the World Wide Web.
But as we move ever closer to fulfilling the role of Homo Digitalis, we still find new emergent and interstitial spaces for communication, interaction and inhabitation that bridge the realms between the virtual and the physical. The fourth iteration of the BOL/HP Symposium seeks to directly engage in these interstitial spaces through presenting and discussing a number of projects that bridge this divide in innovative ways in both scientific and artistic practice.
