---<br><br>On
December 2012, scholars, artists and scientists gathered at
Mutamorphosis (Prague, Dec 6-8) to discuss a topic that has become
increasingly crucial during our uncertain times: The event was entitled
“Tribute to Uncertainty” – <a href="http://mutamorphosis.org/2012/">http://mutamorphosis.org/2012/</a>.<br><br>Surprisingly,
despite the thematic focus, no definition of uncertainty was attempted,
as presenters proceeded to report their experience with uncertain
phenomena and situations. While traditional panels and fora were
priceless to shed precious light on the intricacies of uncertainty
(uncertainty principle, social and political uncertainty, the value of
uncertainty as a methodological tool, uncertainty in sensorial
perception, space and architecture, etc..) most crucial dialogues
unavoidably occurred outside of the traditional constraints of the
conference format. Led by similar concerns but approaching the topic
from a number of different perspectives and disciplinary viewpoints,
individuals engaged in often productive, sometimes frustrating
discussions and conversations.<br><br>1) Were a presenter? Had this event a transformative influence on your scholarship/artistic and scientific practice?<br><br>2)
Were you “just” a spectator? We want to hear if and how your perception
and assumptions regarding the meaning of uncertainty have changed;
whether (and if so, how) this experience has encouraged you to explore
further, to engage in debates, to seek collaborations etc..<br><br>3)
Did you miss the conference but you want to contribute your ideas on the
significance of Uncertainty? Digicult is also interested in hearing
from those who were not present at Mutamorphosis. Does your work deal
with uncertainty (or whatever you interpret as uncertainty)? How?<br><br>In
acknowledging the richness that characterized this extraordinary event,
this issue of Digicult Journal is interested in receiving articles,
exchanges, creative collaborations, artworks, reviews, creative writings
emerged from or inspired by Mutamorphosis and/or by the topics
(uncertainty and its many instances/connotations) explored during the

addressing these and related topics, especially from individuals active
in the fields: curators, critics, hackers, fabbers, creative producers,
lab managers, activists, designers, theorists, independent and academic
writers, scholars, artists, etc.<br><br>Please, send us at <a href="mailto:journal@digicult.it">journal@digicult.it</a>:<br><br>- full manuscripts (Max. 5000 words + 200 words for the abstract)<br><br>- books and events reviews<br>
