1:1 – Drawn to Scale

Lecture, 23 Mar 2026, 19:30

This talk explores scale and simulation. In the scientific context, simulations are often epistemic tools that can be larger or smaller or faster or slower than the target of study. But in cases where the thing of interest is that which is remote or inaccessible, the scale is simply 1:1.

Part of the ICI Lecture Series Scale.

Registration required.
Livestream available.

Thursday, 19 March, 14:00 – 18:00
Wednesday, 25 March, 14:00 – 18:00

Figures of Human-Machine Interaction at Play

Workshop, 26 Mar 2026, 15:00 – 18:00

The Socio-technical Unconscious of ‘Smart’ Environments

Lecture, 26 Mar 2026, 19:00

As technological systems become increasingly distributed, embedded, and multiscalar, an ever-larger part of how they function seems to escape human perception and understanding – at least at an individual level.

Part of the workshop Beyond the User

Organized by Magdalena Krysztoforska
