summary |
This year’s conference included panels dedicated to the discussion of Ecology and Ethics, Data and Bias, Automation and Agency, Culture and Access, and Labor and Practice, followed by a closing discussion on Speculation and Critique. Conceived as a series of conversations, these are intended to encourage a different type of critical, issues-focused discourse as well as the contextualization of the community’s production within that discourse. The work published here foregrounds these themes while interweaving them with the presentation of the computational design expertise of the ACADIA community, with topics including architectures of care, augmented construction, robotics, programmable matter, biological interactions, machine learning, and disrupted practices, among many others, and panoramas spanning from the nano to the urban. At a time of profound disruption brought about by the global pandemic and coinciding with important sociopolitical events, Distributed Proximities seeks to provide a platform for the continuity of technical discourse while amplifying the space for a dialogue that also recognizes the impacts of the social in all aspects of the research. |
