It will be held on 15-17 June 2023 as a hybrid event co-hosted by the University of Oslo. You are invited to send in a proposal for a 10-minute discussion paper, a show-and-tell demonstration, or a 1-hour interactive workshop by the deadline of Saturday 21 January 2023 at noon GMT/UTC. In Between Past and Future (1961), Hannah Arendt wrote: 'the world we have come to live in [...] is much more determined by man acting into nature, creating natural processes and directing them into the human artifice and the realm of human thought'. According to Charles Travis (2018), Arendt was anticipating our current cultural landscape, characterized by an increasing confluence of analog, digital, and natural environments. Since the 1980s, we have witnessed a steady expansion of the 'digital humanities wave' - from the digitization of historical or cultural material to digital analysis and visualization and currently how humanities discourses influence applications and codes. In this environment of the Digital Anthropocene, with its transformative technological and critical practices, we can detect emerging creative trends haunted by a sense of threat and challenge. This mix of curiosity for the new and fear of loss and nostalgia appear in the academic domains of the humanities and social sciences - now often in close collaboration rather than a perpetual collision with areas such as genetics and bioinformatics. In addition, cross-disciplinary activities of knowledge production are creative endeavours within the digital landscape and big data environment, where they respond to a novel need to explore and assess not only the ontological implications of the digital age but also our roles in making it. This two-day Conference is designed to generate active discussion on creative practices in the digital age, focusing on thinking, talking, and showing what such practices can be or become. Proposals might include the following: * Digital humanities activism and hashtag journalism * The role of the digital in diaspora cultures * Data science and visualization * Human-machine co-creation: The possibilities of AI in the arts and humanities * Creative computing as a tool for learning and discovery in the humanities and social sciences * Creativity and cognition * Sonic material and new forms of social critique * Digital creativity, affect, and pleasure * The role of memory and nostalgia in the digital age * Digital narratives and life writing * Digital creativity and ethical considerations HOW TO APPLY: We invite 300-word proposals in English for a 10-minute presentation or a show-and-tell demonstration or 1-hour interactive workshop. Please include your presentation title, your name, affiliation (if applicable), and a short biography (max. 100 words). Please indicate on your submission whether you would like to participate in person or online. Send this as an email attachment to Dr Aino Rinhaug ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and Prof Naomi Segal ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) by the deadline of Saturday 21 January 2023 at noon GMT/UTC.
