Howard Rheingold, HiperWalls, HASTAC II: Get on the Bus Now!
Cat in the Stack
HASTAC II
Second Annual HASTAC ConferenceMAY 22-24, 2008
University of California, Irvine and University of California, Los Angeles
This year’s theme is “techno-travels” and explores the multiple ways in which place, movement, borders, and identities are being renegotiated and remapped by new locative technologies. Featured projects will delve into mobility as knowledge and stake out new spaces for humanistic inquiry. How are border-crossings being re-conceptualized, experienced, and narrated in a world permeated by technologies of mobility? How is the geo-spatial web remapping physical geographies, location, and borderlands? How are digital cities interfacing with physical space? How do we move between virtual worlds? And what has become of sites of dwelling and stasis in a world saturated by techno-travels?
This year’s conference literalizes and metaphorizes travel, as attendees will participate in sessions at Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego, and on the connecting corridors of Southern California.
Here's a tentative conference agenda. Please go to the conference website for updates before the event itself. Or, for additional information, please contact Irena Richter at irichter@uci.edu or 949-824-8900.
