Transmedia Matters? Researching Electronic Waste

SENSEable City Lab (Dietmar Offenhuber u.a.): TrashTrack Project 2011

With this two-day workshop, the research team behind Times of Waste brings together local and international actors researching electronic waste, its circulations, transformations, and impacts for human and non-human beings. We are particularly interested in the transmedia dimensions of aesthetic and interdisciplinary scientific research and its impact for everyday life. What kind of practices might provide us with a critical take on waste’s world-making?
