Ciao,

vi giro il comunicato della conferenza Public Interfaces che si terra' 
ad Aarhus University la prossima settimana.
Vi invito anche a leggere il pezzo che ho scritto per l'occasione che 
credo che possa interessare visti i temi comuni.

Public Interfaces Press Release:

Public Interfaces
http://darc.imv.au.dk/publicinterfaces/
Conference and PhD workshops, 12-14 January 2011, Aarhus University,
Denmark.

The conference and Ph.D. workshop brings together researchers from
Aarhus University, University of Plymouth, and guests to address the
broad theme of Public Interfaces. It is organised by the Centre for
Digital Urban Living (DUL), Digital Aesthetics Research Centre (DARC),
and Dept. of Aesthetic Studies, Aarhus University.

Emerging from DUL and DARC's ongoing research around interface
criticism, the aim is to broaden issues to encompass the development
of urban interfaces, and the changing concept of the 'public'.

The following questions act as points of departure:
Whilst experimentation and developments in the culture of free
software reflects emergent and self-organizing public actions, how
does this modify our understanding of public interfaces? Can the
public interface be used as a useful concept for understanding
changing relations between public and private realms within other
fields? Does the public interface offer a way of further examining
relational aesthetics, the cultural regeneration agenda and public
art? Does the public interface provide new understandings of the
relationship between creative production and the free market sphere?
How does the possible dissolution of the public and private spheres
relate to bio politics and contemporary forms of power? Does the
public interface suggest new borders or even the dissolution of
borders between the public and private, humans and machines, the
centre and periphery?

The conference and workshop are organised into three thematic strands:
Art as public interface; The public interfaces of urban space; The
public interface and capital.
