SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:DSI Lecture Series | Forging Feminist Futures from 'Creepy' Technologies: The Politics of Smart Tech and Liberation Dreams
DESCRIPTION:We will be offering a free copy of *Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen* to the first 25 in-person attendees!\n\nIn this talk\, Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin will discuss their recent book and edited volume\, *Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen*\, published by Duke University Press in May 2025. New and emerging technologies\, especially ones that infiltrate intimate spaces\, relations\, homes\, and bodies\, are often referred to as creepy in media and political discourses. The book introduces a feminist theory of creep\, substantiating it through critical engagement with smart homes\, smart dust\, smart desires\, and smart forests\, toward dreams of feminist futures. Contributing authors further illuminate what is otherwise obscured\, assumed\, or dismissed in characterizations of technology as creepy or creeping. Considering diverse technologies\, such as border surveillance and China’s credit system\, as well as sexcams and home assistants\, the volume’s essays and artworks demonstrate that the potentials and pitfalls of artificial intelligence and digital and robotic technologies cannot be assessed through binaries of seeing/being seen\, privacy/surveillance\, or harmful/useful.\n\nNeda Atanasoski is Professor and Chair of the Harriet Tubman Department of Women\, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Maryland\, College Park and Associate Director of Education for the Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Institute at Maryland (AIM). Atanasoski’s interdisciplinary research has focused on feminism and AI\, feminist and critical race approaches to science and technology studies\, AI and the future of work\, militarism\, and human rights and humanitarianism. She is the author of Humanitarian Violence: The U.S. Deployment of Diversity (2013)\, co-author of Surrogate Humanity: Race\, Robots\, and the Politics of Technological Futures (2019)\, and co-editor of Postsocialist Politics and the Ends of Revolution (2022) and Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen (2025).\n\nNassim Parvin is a Professor at the University of Washington (UW) Information School where she also serves as the Associate Dean for Inclusion\, Diversity\, Equity\, Access & Sovereignty (IDEAS). Dr. Parvin’s interdisciplinary research integrates theoretically-driven humanistic scholarship and design-based inquiry. Her papers have appeared in design\, HCI\, and STS venues. Her designs have been deployed at nonprofit organizations and exhibited in venues such as the Smithsonian Museum. She is the co-author and co-editor of the book Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen (2025). She is an award-winning educator and served as one of the lead coeditors of Catalyst: Feminism\, Theory\, Technoscience from 2018-2023.\n\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all participants. This event will be a hybrid event with both a physical meeting space and an online meeting space.\n\nPlease register in advance for the online Zoom Webinar here: https://myumi.ch/QwGnk\n\nPlease register for the physical meeting space at the University of Michigan’s Central Campus here: https://myumi.ch/794by\n\nCART (live captioning) services will be provided.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Search Engines: Search History Volume 2 Zine Launch
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend in-person: https://myumi.ch/pVrnA\nRegister to attend on Zoom: https://myumi.ch/79nzD\n\nSearch History is a student-led zine publication from the University of Michigan community\, hosted by Search Engines: Art\, Tech\, Justice. Search Engines is funded by the U-M Arts Initiative and the DISCO Network\, housed in the Digital Studies Institute. In the last year\, Search Engines brought artists such as Astria Suparak\, Beth Coleman\, Morehshin Allahyari\, Paul Preciado\, and Molly Soda to the Ann Arbor campus for workshops\, performances\, and panel discussions.\n\nThe Search History zine mediates on the implications of an increasingly digital world and asks questions like: How does art help us redefine what technology is? What is your vision of the future and how can art and technology make it a reality? And how do interdisciplinary practices in technology expand traditional knowledge production and storytelling?\n\nSearch History Vol. 2 is titled and themed \"Into the Rabbit Hole.\"\n\nThe Search History Zine Launch will include conversation\, food\, and reading from zine contributors. Join us on Friday\, October 3rd\, 3PM-5PM ET in Weiser Hall 10th Floor or on Zoom to celebrate the launch of Search History Vol. 2!\n\nWe want to make our events accessible to all participants.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED: DSI Lecture Series | Trans Ecologies of the Real and the Virtual in Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:For the survival of all our ecologies\, we must refuse human centricity and build networks of care across lines of species and liveliness. This talk stitches a line from trans people to an expanded conception of trans\, using a focus on trans ecological poetics to go beyond a focus on the human. I broaden the operation of “trans” in trans media studies to include non-human movements\, such as those made by animals\, viruses\, and movements across the boundaries between different environments. Trans media studies can extend the fields of media studies\, transgender studies\, and trans of color studies to connect more deeply to and through non-human entities. Still\, any injunction for queer and trans studies to go beyond the human must reconcile with the history of trans\, Palestinian\, Black\, and Indigenous people being deemed less than human. In this talk\, I use the method of algorithmic analysis proposed in my book *Poetic Operations: Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP\, 2022) to explore the operations that make up the poetics of three contemporary artworks—*Sin Sol* (2020)\, an augmented reality installation I created with the Critical Realities Studio\, *Acoustic Ocean* (2018)\, a short film by Ursula Biemann and “Of Whales”\, a film created using virtual reality created by Wu Tsang.\n\nmicha cárdenas\, PhD\, MFA\, is an artist\, author and Professor of Critical Race & Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She is the director of the Critical Realities Studio. Her debut novel* Atoms Never Touch* (AK Press 2023) imagines trans latina love crossing multiple quantum realities. Her academic monograph P*oetic Operations : Trans of Color Art in Digital Media* (Duke UP 2022) was the co-winner of the Gloria Anzaldúa Book Prize in 2022 from the National Women’s Studies Association “for groundbreaking monographs in women’s studies that makes significant multicultural feminist contributions to women of color/transnational scholarship”. cárdenas was a winner of the 2022 Anonymous Was a Woman artist award. She is currently working on her next academic monograph* After Man: Trans Ecologies and Climate Justice*\, as well as *The Probability Engine*\, a multi-disciplinary artwork imagining futures of climate justice. She is a first generation Colombian American.\n\nWe strive to make our events accessible to all participants. This will be a virtual event held in an online meeting space. Please register in advance for the online Zoom Webinar here: https://myumi.ch/G23ey. \n\nCART captioning will be provided.
