Overwiew

This inaugural half-day event will provide an overview of current research on digital forms, highlighting the diversity of critical approaches beyond research solely on human-computer interfaces.

Through a conference and a roundtable discussion bringing together researchers from various disciplines and artistic practices, we invite you to explore digital forms at multiple scales: from signs to infrastructures, including interactions and social upheavals. We will also situate this working group within the CIS ecosystem, highlighting its complementary role with other existing research groups.
