Call for submission: Internet of Other People's Things - dealing with the pathologies of our digital worldAn open access publication bringing together critical perspectives on ubiquitous technologies and asymmetric battles for power.Please send your email submissions to: opencall@kairus.org by Linda Kronman & Andreas Zingerle (KairUs Art+Research) and Jonathan Woodier (Sol International School’s Department of Global Media and Communications Arts (South Korea), Associate Fellow of the Strategic Communications Centre at King’s College, London) CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (DEADLINE April 30, 2018)The expansion of the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) and the proliferation of virtually-connected data points are providing ever increasing amounts of information for those keen on use or abuse. The Hobbesian nature of cyberspace, where entry points for hacking abound and “smart” appliances can monitor a consumer’s every thought and action and threatening to eclipse human discretion. The massive implementation of IoT in hyper-connected urban environments, paths the way to technocratic governance and urban development, corporatizing our living spaces into lock-in, hack-able, "pan optic” smart cities. Citizens are the ultimate actuators of a city. How are citizens involved in co-design collaborations with private corporations and the public sector to build better cities? In this cyberwar of ideas, an asymmetric battle for power and influence, systems will have to be more robust and people will have to be more vigilant, communication more strategic. We seek submissions from researchers, artists, hackers, makers, activists, developers, and designers that explore vulnerabilities in IoT devices and other embedded systems e.g. in smart cities. We aim to bring artworks, projects, and essays together to create new critical perspectives on ubiquitous technologies. We need standpoints that provide balance to the technotopias of smart city propaganda and cases that look beyond what mainstream developers offer. WILL I FIT THIS CALL?
We are also looking for examples outside the traditional boundaries of academic research.Projects that abuse to expose, artistic research, and tacit knowledge that is produced through cultures of making, hacking, and reverse engineering.Is your research related to the topics?
