From Birthing the Apocalypse to BIG FAT FAIL: (Net) Art as Software Research
Benjamin Grosser,

Abstract:
How are numbers on Facebook changing what we “like” and who we
“friend?” Why does a bit of nonsense sent via email scare both your
mom and the NSA? What makes someone mad when they learn Google can’t
see where they stand? From net art to robotics to supercuts to e-lit,
Ben Grosser constructs interactive experiences, machines, and systems
that investigate the cultural, social, and political effects of
software.

Workshop “Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango” – 2nd Edition
Title: Workshop Metabolism and mathematical models: Two for a tango – 2nd Edition
Dates: October 25-26, 2022
Location: This workshop will be held in a virtual way
The topic of this workshop is metabolism in general, with a special focus, although not exclusive, on parasitology. Besides an exploration of the biological, biochemical and biomedical aspects, the workshop will also aim at presenting some of the mathematical modelling, algorithmic theory and software development that have become crucial to explore such aspects.
This workshop is being organised in the context of two projects, both with the Inria European Team Erable. One of the projects involves a partnership with the University of São Paulo (USP), in São Paulo, Brazil, more specifically the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME) and the Institute of Biomedical Sciences – Inria Associated Team Capoeira – and the other involves the Inesc-ID/IST in Portugal, ETH in Zürich and EMBL in Heidelberg – H2020 Twinning Project Olissipo.
The workshop is open to all members of these two projects but also, importantly, to the community in general.
The program and more details are available here.
