Call for Visual Vignettes:
Sensor Publics: On the Politics of Sensing and Data Infrastructures
As part of the Workshop "Sensor Publics: On the Politics of Sensing and Data Infrastructures<https://sensorpublics.wordpress.com/>", at the Munich Center for Technology in Society from April 5-7th 2017, we invite researchers, artists, web-designer, activists, and beyond to reflect on the workshop themes through the means of Visual Vignettes. Inspiration can be found from the participants' abstracts<https://sensorpublics.wordpress.com/abstracts-for-sensor-publics-a-workshop-on-the-politics-of-sensing-and-data-infrastructure/>.
A Visual Vignette integrates text and image in unusual ways by combining the genre of vignettes and visual essay. Visual Vignettes are short, evocative descriptions challenging the "division of labour" between words - often as descriptor - and images - as illustration. Following the theme of this workshop, we ask how sensing can invite new ways of entwining words and images. Participants of the meeting will be invited to reflect both on the politics of sensing, sensor publics and digital infrastructures, and on visual vignettes as mode of research dissemination, potential way of interrogating topics, or even conducting research.
The rules are simple: 5 frames (printed in A3 format) and maximum 700 words (excluding references, which can be added on the bottom of the final frame). Send us your Visual Vignette as pdf by March 15th 2017. The workshop organizers will make a selection of the best 6 Visual Vignettes, which will be printed (on foam-board) and displayed at the venue of the meeting, the Vorhoelzer Forum at the Technical University Munich. The selected Visual Vignettes will also be posted on the website of the workshop.
