Splinter Session 03: Living Technologies – “relations between humans, other living organisms and machines”

11:00–17:40 “Living Technologies” – the thematic session of Day 3 features presentations by Kristin Bergaust, Hege Tapio and FeLT (OsloMET) Research Project Team, who together with online speakers will be discussing relations between humans, other living organisms and machines. Thematic session’s highlight will be “Green Revisited ” book presentation by Jens Hauser; the book is co-produced by RIXC and Renewable Futures network partners.

[Splinter Session 03: Living Technologies] on Day 3 (8 Oct) – will focus on how the “relations between humans, other living organisms and machines” are experienced and expressed today, in the face of environmental crises, global pandemics and the war in Ukraine – splinters that raise fears of domination, and evoke a sense of the uncanny. Might they also point to a world of possibilities of becoming, creation of new forms and behaviors? Can we co-create more balanced forms of existence?
