It covers three perspectives on remotely controlled interventions: </div><ul><li>The practices of remote intervention as ways of operating „from a distance“, such as the transmission of commands in robotics. </li><li>The infrastructures of remote intervention as ways of defining the possibilities of action, such as user interfaces, databases or control terminals. </li><li>The politics of remote intervention as a transformation of the relation between humans and machines, such as the distribution of responsibility in remote warfare.</li></ul><div>Read the full concept at: <a href="http://remote-control-conference.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">www.remote-control-conference.org/about</a><br><br>Keynotes: <br>Jennifer Gabrys (Goldsmiths, University of London)<br>Timothy Lenoir (University of California, Davis)<br>Jutta Weber (University of Paderborn)<br><br>Talks: <br>Antoine Bousquet (Birbeck, University of London), Matthias Bruhn (HfG Karlsruhe, Humboldt University of Berlin), Katherine Chandler (Georgetown University), Luci Eldridge (Royal College of Art, London), Nina Franz (Humboldt University of Berlin), Carolin Höfler (Cologne University of Applied Sciences), Matteo Pasquinelli (HfG Karlsruhe), Moritz Queisner (Cluster of Excellence Image Knowledge Gestaltung, Humboldt University of Berlin), Isabell Schrickel (Leuphana University), Lucy Suchman (Lancaster University)<br><br>Conference chairs: </div><div><a href="https://www.aesthetik.hu-berlin.de/en/nina-franz/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Nina Franz</a>, PhD-scholar of the Gerda Henkel Foundation; <a href="https://www.interdisciplinary-laboratory.hu-berlin.de/en/content/kathrin-friedrich/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Kathrin Friedrich</a>, Cluster of Excellence Image Knowledge Gestaltung, Humboldt University of Berlin; <a href="http://moritzqueisner.de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Moritz Queisner</a>, Cluster of Excellence Image Knowledge Gestaltung, Humboldt University of Berlin; Lisa Weber, student associate, Cluster of Excellence Image Knowledge Gestaltung, Humboldt University of Berlin</div></div></div></div></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
