Friction: Ethics in times of Dataism
4 February 2021 | 20:00-21:30 | Online
Can humans really be understood as algorithms? What happens to the things that cannot be captured in data? And why is the dataist future presented as inevitable? Against the ideal of an automated world that traps us in an invisible net, Miriam Rasch proposes a revaluation of friction. Friction is a formidable strategy for those who fight for emancipation or resist the demand for transparency and constant communication. Rasch opens the way to ‘de-automatization’ as a possibility to let words and things shine as new again. How can we continue to tell our own story in data-saturated times?

Pop-up Lectures
After exams, and before new classes start, you need some time to relax. Under normal circumstances you would meet friends, go to a bar or even skiing. Unfortunately the current circumstances don’t allow for it, so we have to come up with alternative ways to meet and take our mind off the usual hustle and bustle of daily life.
At Studium Generale we fully realise we are not the perfect surrogate for drinks and parties. We can however offer thought provoking and topical content that triggers critical thinking and social awareness. We stimulate the mind, and therefore care for your wellbeing. So be on the lookout for our pop-up lectures & interviews in the first week of February!
