Call for Contributions: Creative AI Exploration and Imagination
by Christian Pentzold 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Call for Contributions: *Creative AI Exploration and Imagination: Innovative Methods for Alternative Digital Futures* Leipzig University, Germany 25–26 September 2025 Are you exploring the intersections of citizen engagement, futures methods and artificial intelligence? Do you experiment with arts-based and/or participatory futures methods to reimagine digital futures? We invite you to share your work at our upcoming show-and-tell workshop. *Idea and Background* Artificial intelligence (AI) and other types of digital technologies are deeply intertwined with the everyday lives of citizens, yet their underlying conditions and consequences often remain invisible or difficult to grasp. Many people experience the digital transformation as inevitable and uncontrollable, as exemplified by the current public discourse around the “AI race” and generative AI technologies. Innovative approaches and methods are urgently needed to empower citizens to critically engage with digital transformation processes and imagine alternative futures. This workshop moves beyond traditional information dissemination and focuses on playful and artistic engagement methods, such as arts-based and future methods. These approaches foster experiential and creative explorations of AI and digital transformation, using photography, music, literary and poetic texts, diaries, comics and visual narratives, installations, or excursions. These methods are not aimed at conveying the current state of AI technology but rather at collaboratively defining future frameworks for action, governance, and regulation with civil society actors. Arts-based methods are particularly valuable as they allow participants to experience, explore and imagine alternative scenarios beyond the status quo and/or dominant narratives about how “the” future will unfold. This workshop seeks to bring together researchers involved in such projects, practitioners, citizens, and other experts working in this field. The event aims to map real-time experiences and identify good practices and model initiatives for engaging with citizens, civil society organizations, community organizers, and public administrations around critical questions about AI and digital technologies. These efforts are planned to culminate in a publication titled “(Re)-Imagining AI with and for the People.” The event is supported by the ARQUS University Alliance and the German Academic Exchange Service DAAD. *Objectives and Contributions* The workshop will explore and test transfer methods for playful and artistic engagement (arts-based methods and future methods) with AI and digital transformation. Participants will discuss the theoretical foundations of these methodologies, address practical challenges in their application and transfer, and examine the role of arts-based and future methods in fostering civil society participation, enabling citizens to critically engage with the everyday impacts of AI and envision alternative uses, frameworks, and regulations for a citizen-centered digital transformation. Practical aspects of applying arts-based and future methods in the AI context should be illuminated through collaboration with local partners. Stakeholders such as citizens, media education initiatives, and NGOs critical of digitalization are invited to join the conversation and exploration. The workshop also aims to address ethical considerations in applying these methods, documenting how such approaches influence the dynamics between researchers and participants. We welcome contributions from a broad range of disciplines and sectors involving researchers and academics, designers, artists and creative practitioners, community organizers and activists, technologists and developers, as well as policy advocates and educators. We invite arts-based and future methods contributions that: * Demonstrate innovative citizen-led AI applications or projects. * Showcase participatory methods for engaging diverse communities with AI. * Explore alternative narratives and imaginaries of digital futures. * Examine the role of creativity in developing ethical and inclusive AI. * Provide critical reflections on challenges and lessons learned. The Show-and-Tell format is designed to encourage interaction and dialogue. Contributors will present their work in interactive sessions and engage directly with participants through live demonstrations, creative storytelling, or multimedia presentations. The registration fee is 150 Euro and includes lunch catering and coffee & tea breaks. *Submission Guidelines* Please submit the following by *31 March 2025* 1. A title and brief description of your contribution (300 words max). 2. A short bio (150 words max) of the presenter(s). 3. Any technical or logistical requirements for your presentation. Email your submission to christian.pentzold(a)uni-leipzig.de <mailto:christian.pentzold@uni-leipzig.de> <mailto:christian.pentzold@uni-leipzig.de>with the subject line: *Show and Tell Submission – [Your Name/Project Name].* *Key Dates* * Submission Deadline: 31 March 2025 * Notification of Acceptance: 15 May 2025 * Event Date: 25–26 September 2025 *Organizers* The local event is organized by: Christian Pentzold, Emma Hughes, and Benedikt Haupt, Leipzig University in collaboration with Juliane Jarke & Laura Kunz, University of Graz; Rob Kitchin & Olly Dawkins, Maynooth University; and Stefano Crabu & Federico Neresini, University of Padua.

Funded PhD, open-source software or alternative economic and production structures in digital tech, Uni of Potsdam, Germany
by Bolsover, Gillian 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Dear AoIR, I have an opening for a funded PhD position in open-source software or alternative economic and production structures within digital tech as part of my team in the Digital Technology, Governance and Policy Research Group at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Digital Engineering at the University of Potsdam in Germany. The funding is for three years commencing in spring 2025. Potsdam is located within easy commuting distance of Berlin - on the same metro system. Knowledge of German or some willingness to learn is helpful to live and work in Germany, but our team's working language is English; you can write and defend your PhD and take any necessary classes and trainings in English; the majority of university and administrative processes are bilingual, and many people live long-term (including within our team) without learning German. As a team, we sit at the intersection of the technical and social. We are looking for someone who can combine quantitative computational work with qualitative elements, and who is motivated by and grounded in social science theories and concerns while also being able to interface and work with computer scientists and digital engineers. Further information, including application materials and how to apply can be found at: https://jobs.plattnerfoundation.org/HPI/job/Potsdam-Funded-PhD-position-%28… The application deadline is Friday 28th February. Best, Gillian Bolsover Professor of Digital Technology Governance and Policy Hasso-Plattner-Institut für Digital Engineering gGmbH Digital Engineering | Universität Potsdam Prof.-Dr.-Helmert Str. 2-3 | D-14482 Potsdam

Call for Submissions // 4S Annual Meeting 2025 in Seattle // c(AI)borg manyfesto: reverberating futures of augmentation and humanity
by Aal, Konstantin 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

*** apologies for cross-posting *** Dear colleagues, We are inviting abstract contributions to our open panel #212 titled "c(AI)borg manyfesto: reverberating futures of augmentation and humanity” for the upcoming 4S Annual Meeting which will take place in Seattle, Washington, USA, on September 3-6, 2025. Deadline for submission is January 31, 2025. More details can be found below. If you would like to participate in our session, please submit your individual abstract of approx. 250 words and follow the instructions described here: https://www.4sonline.org/call_for_submissions_seattle.php ### 212. “c(AI)borg manyfesto: reverberating futures of augmentation and humanity” The cyborg, as envisioned in Donna Haraway's A Cyborg Manifesto, disrupts entrenched boundaries between human, machine and animal, envisioning a hybrid future where identities are fluid and alliances are formed through affinity rather than rigid categories. Building on this provocative framework, the c-AI-borg Manyfesto panel explores how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies reverberate through the fabric of humanity's pluralistic future. Invoking Haraway's cyborg, we ask: how can AI reshape the human experience, not just as a tool of augmentation, but as a site for the reimagining of politics, ethics and community? The reverberations of AI in human life are multi-dimensional - scientific, cultural and socio-technical. These resonances echo Haraway's call to reject fixed boundaries and compel us to interrogate how AI amplifies, disrupts, and reworks identities, bodies, and social orders. In this open panel, we bring together diverse perspectives to ask: What does it mean to be human in a world where AI co-creates knowledge, work and relationships? How can we navigate the tensions that AI brings, while nurturing its potential to foster coalitions and affinities? Within the 4S conference theme of Reverberations, this panel considers the temporal, spatial and sensory dimensions of AI. From historical narratives of human augmentation to speculative visions of hybrid futures, from the tactile immediacy of machine-learning interfaces to the far-reaching socio-technical imaginaries that AI evokes, the c-AI-borg Manyfesto invites all participants to reflect on the (possible) seismic shifts that AI generates. In doing so, it aims to cultivate a collective reactivation of Haraway's posthumanist challenge: to think beyond binaries and envision pluralistic, just futures in which technology amplifies humanity's capacity for solidarity, creativity and care. This panel will provide an open forum for critical and speculative engagement, challenging participants to resonate with Haraway's legacy while charting new ways of understanding humanity's co-evolution with AI. ### More information on the 4S annual meeting 2025 can be found here: https://4sonline.org/about_the_conference_seattle.php Please contact us if you have any questions: Konstantin Aal (konstantin.aal(a)uni-siegen.de<https://mailto:konstantin.aal@uni-siegen.de>) Sarah Rüller (sarah.rueller(a)uni-siegen.de<https://mailto:sarah.rueller@uni-siegen.de>) -- Dr. Konstantin Aal PostDoc and Team Leader “Community and Activism” pronouns: he/him/his I support flexible work arrangements and do not expect you to reply outside your agreed working hours.
