SUMMARY:Prompt\, Camera\, Action?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”As we crest the wave of the initial surge of innovation\, capital\, and mainstream attention on generative AI\, the same innovators\, investors\, and commentators are left somewhat adrift.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat remains genuinely generative in our creative and critical encounters with these systems? Once the excitement settles and the technology embeds less noisily into our lives and workflows\, what continues to spark awe\, abjection\, delight\, and disgust? As the tools improve\, as the outputs become smoother\, more utilitarian\, more banal — what frameworks and methods will help us retain a healthy awareness of both the magic and the materiality of these systems? \nProgram \n\nGenerative AI\, Creativity\, and the Productive Chaos of Glitch — Keynote presentation by Dr Daniel Binns\, RMIT University\nSalon-style provocations and introductions from guests and participants\nPreposterous Prototypes for Pernicious Problems — A hackathon for the immediate future of genAI\, video\, and storytelling\n\nGenerative AI\, Creativity\, and the Productive Chaos of Glitch\nAs generative AI settles into everyday practice\, what remains genuinely generative in our encounters with these systems? This talk proposes a materialist approach to creative AI\, treating outputs not as artworks but as traces of wider infrastructures\, datasets\, and relations.\nDrawing on projects in creative misuse and synthetic literacies\, Daniel Binns explores glitch as both method and mindset—a way to work with error\, noise\, and slippage as sources of imagination. Moving through experiments in text\, image\, and video\, the talk reflects on emerging frontiers of AI video and agency\, and how we might re-wild our tools with curiosity and care. \nThis free event is supported by Canva\, Leonardo.Ai\, University of New South Wales\, and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. \nRegistration is essential. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1701823210479{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_btn title=”REGISTER” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fforms.office.com%2Fr%2FGta4mNaVkV|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1712628836420{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”SPEAKERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”568″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text]Mark Andrejevic (ADM+S)\nMark Andrejevic is Professor of Media Studies in the School of Media\, Film\, and Journalism at Monash University and a Chief Investigator at the Monash University node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making + Society (ADM+S).

SUMMARY:Loyalties v. royalties: Copyright’s creative incentives and collaboration
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Friendship rewards us with a bond of loyalty and equality. The marketplace rewards us based on what we have to offer. When friends work together to create something\, and when the market judges their creation to have value\, this sets up a clash between realms. Should the pie of profits be sliced according to the values of friendship\, or the values of the marketplace?” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe answer matters for policymakers concerned with creative incentives because how satisfied people are with their monetary rewards can turn more on how much others are getting—their relative rewards—than on the absolute amount received. This talk will share empirical evidence from the music industry of a link between creators’ relative rewards and the quality of creative output\, providing support for the incentive theory of copyright\, and arguing that the joint authorship rule on license proceeds is an area of copyright law that gets creative incentives right. \n\nFurther reading: \n‘Loyalties v. Royalties‘ (2023) 74 UC Hastings Law Journal 765 \n‘Co-Creating Equally‘ (2023) 96(3) Southern California Law Review 607 \nAbout the speaker \nProfessor Sarah Polcz’s (Acting Professor\, UC Davis School of Law) research explores the intersection of law and psychological science. She is particularly interested in how basic cognitive processes relate to more complex social phenomena such as market culture and the moral intuitions underlying intellectual property law. \nTuesday 25 March\nTime: 12-1pm \nVenue: Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building Annex (F10A)\, Eastern Avenue\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \nThis event is proudly hosted by the University of Sydney Law School\, the Centre for AI\, Trust and Governance\, and the ARC Centre for Automated Decision-Making and Society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1740696460842{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_btn title=”REGISTER NOW” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Floyalties-v-royalties-copyrights-creative-incentives-and-collaboration-tickets-1290876619719%3Faff%3Doddtdtcreator|target:_blank”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1740695969092{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”SPEAKERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”568″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text]Mark Andrejevic\nMark Andrejevic is a Chief Investigator at the Monash University node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S).

SUMMARY:Electronics < > Ecologies #2 — WASTE
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The second event in the ELECTRONICS < > ECOLOGIES series for ADM+S\, WASTE will explore the material discards that attend each step of the supply chain for computational devices.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Reassembling Rubbish\, Josh Lepawsky argues that a more democratic electronics industry would involve “forms of public decision making in design and manufacturing” and that “production itself must be much more radically politicized.” To participate in reimagining electronics production\, however\, “citizens need access to data about wastes arising upstream in resource extraction and manufacturing” to counter the usual emphasis on downstream e-waste and recycling. \nThe second event in the Electronics < > Ecologies series for ADM+S\, WASTE advances this agenda by exploring the material discards that attend each step of the supply chain for computational devices. Interrogating the current turn to circular design as a way out of the waste problem\, we will focus on the very definition of waste that the electronics industry has adopted. The aim is to reveal blindspots\, policy weaknesses\, and problems that may arise as automated decision-making begins to influence product design\, manufacturing and disposal. \nAustralia has one of the highest e-waste rates in the world. And while neighbouring countries have substantial markets for informal reuse and resale\, current international regulations fall short of facilitating a legitimate secondary market for electronics due to outdated notions of “developing” economies’ needs. \nRecycling is poor consolation for the environmental damage already wrought in the production and refinement of rare resources in technology supply chains. WASTE invites industry practitioners\, designers\, journalists and activists to join pioneers in the field of waste and discard studies to explore these issues\, documenting the geopolitical and environmental dependencies involved in material extraction\, use\, reuse and recycling. Experiments that foreground the value of electronics discards and best practices for product stewardship are particularly welcome\, to show the ongoing potential of technology’s many lives and afterlives. \nLearning from already existing circular economies in the Asia-Pacific\, and emerging best practices in sustainable user experience design\, WASTE will share theories and approaches that support productive parasitism and durability as design priorities for electronics. \nImage credit – Zane Griffin Talley Cooper \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”VIEW PROGRAM” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.admscentre.org.au%2Felectronics-ecologies-2-waste-program%2F”][vc_btn title=”WATCH RECORDINGS” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fplaylist%3Flist%3DPLE_y90GftjpZbr0HN3dZZ9eJ36LtyHzXQ”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”LOCATION” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]This event will be held in-person at the Peter Johnson Building\, University of Technology Sydney.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”CALL FOR PAPERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]Researchers interested in being considered for a select number of presentation slots are invited to submit a 2-page position paper by 21 September 2023.

The lack of accountability makes it hard to defend against discriminatory and predatory advertising – which have a long and unfortunate history in the industry. \nOne way to provide transparency is to use automated tools to track and record automated advertising. We are seeking to develop innovative approaches and tools for holding ad targeting accountable. We want to explore recently acquired sets of targeted ads to reveal how they are targeted to particular demographic categories. \nWhat types of ads are targeted to women and to men?

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Join this event to share and discuss work in progress or new ideas and develop relationships across and beyond ADM+S and Wikimedia research interests.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a digital platform\, Wikimedia projects play a powerful role in the information and media ecosystem\, from providing breaking news coverage to data points in Google infoboxes. Wikimedia projects include various types of automation and contribute to the automation of information provided by other platforms and are also being impacted by the regulations attempting to control big tech. There are therefore many areas of overlap with ADM+S areas of interest which could provide a range of fascinating research projects or collaborations which this workshop hopes to foster.  \nJoin us for a lunchtime seminar/workshop on researching Wikimedia as a Digital Platform. The session will include lightning talks of 5-10 minutes on current or future research projects\, questions\, ideas or issues followed by open discussion and input from colleagues and for developing new proposals or collaborations. Speakers may share a paper or concept at various stages of gestation.  \nLunch will be provided.\nThis event is being hosted as a 2023 ADM+S Symposium Satellite event.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you would like to provide a 5 minute lightning talk please email amanda.lawrence@rmit.edu.au with your name\, organisation and a title. Please indicate if you will participate in person (preferred) or online.

SUMMARY:PhD Winter Workshop in Critical Technology Studies
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”A two-day PhD-led workshop for an emerging cohort of interdisciplinary researchers in Australia and the Pacific conducting critical studies of technologies. Come share knowledge\, build a network and map our work.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]EOI’s are now closed for this event. \nTechnologies of artificial intelligence\, automated decision-making and machine learning have moved rapidly from obscurity to ubiquity\, are entangled with the social\, scientific\, economic and political and\, as objects of study\, are hard to describe and theorise\, subverting established research methods and modes of communication. \nWith all this in mind\, we are convening an emerging generation of PhDs over two days\, in a collaborative and creative forum of individual and group working sessions\, reading and discussion\, and evening social events. The workshop is a satellite event of the ADM+S 2023 Symposium and follows an earlier event held at ANU in 2022. In the days following the workshop\, participants will also have opportunities to join several events in conjunction with PhD/ECR networks from ADM+S and AusSTS.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Want to be a part of the workshop?” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][vc_column_text]The event is open to students enrolled in a PhD or other Doctoral program at a university in Australia\, Aotearoa/NZ or other institution in the Pacific. You should be one year or more through your PhD\, with your candidature confirmed and a well-developed and comprehensively designed research project. We are keen for people from across the region\, and travel scholarships are available (see EOI form for more details). \nWe have 30 places available for this workshop and participants will be selected through expression of interest (EOI). If you would like to join us\, please submit your EOI by 21 April 2023. \nOrganisers: Glen Berman (ANU)\, Ned Cooper (ANU)\, Zoe Horn (WSU)\, Libby Young (USyd).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:More-than-Human Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Through installation artworks and multisensory displays\, this exhibition seeks to attune visitors to their role in more-than-human ecologies and how their health and wellbeing and that of the planet is entangled.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]More-than-Human Wellbeing draws on several research studies conducted in the Vitalities Lab and UNSW Node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. This exhibition uses multimodal arts-based and multisensory methods – both digital and non-digital – to highlight ways of knowing and being within and beyond the world of self-tracking apps\, electronic medical records\, and smart devices for documenting illnesses and promoting health and wellbeing. \nThrough installation artworks and multisensory displays\, this exhibition seeks to attune visitors to their role in more-than-human ecologies and how their health and wellbeing and that of the planet is entangled. It shows that digital software\, data\, and devices are only part of the manifold ways that people learn about their bodies and their health. It acknowledges that human health is always more-than-human health\, and that natural and human-made objects and spaces are intertwined. \nExhibition team: Deborah Lupton\, Vaughan Wozniak-O’Connor\, Megan Rose\, and Ash Watson. \nThis exhibition is developed in collaboration with Vitalities Lab\, UNSW Node of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society\, Centre for Social Research in Health\, Social Policy Research Centre\, Faculty of Arts\, Design & Architecture\, UNSW Sydney\, and Health Consumers NSW. \nFor more information on this project see Deborah Lupton – The More-than-Human Wellbeing Exhibition[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row title=”RESEARCH PROJECTS” style=”custom” gradient_color_1=”turquoise” gradient_color_2=”blue” gradient_custom_color_1=”#dd3333″ gradient_custom_color_2=”#eeee22″ gradient_text_color=”#ffffff” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ outline_custom_color=”#666666″ outline_custom_hover_background=”#666666″ outline_custom_hover_text=”#ffffff” shape=”rounded” color=”grey” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”” add_icon=”” i_align=”left” i_type=”fontawesome” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-adjust” i_icon_openiconic=”vc-oi vc-oi-dial” i_icon_typicons=”typcn typcn-adjust-brightness” i_icon_entypo=”entypo-icon entypo-icon-note” i_icon_linecons=”vc_li vc_li-heart” i_icon_monosocial=”vc-mono vc-mono-fivehundredpx” i_icon_material=”vc-material vc-material-cake” i_icon_pixelicons=”vc_pixel_icon vc_pixel_icon-alert” custom_onclick=”” link=”url:%23research-filter|||” custom_onclick_code=””][vc_column][vc_btn title=”EXHIBITION TOUR” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffd600″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dp_KAHvjtkeQ”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]
