Open position: Junior Researchers 

The Lab is looking for new Junior Researchers to join our community and research group. Junior Researchers conduct projects, ordinarily tied to an ECTS-rewarded course at ITU. Through ETHOS, Junior Researchers get the opportunity to receive community, facilities for and feedback on their projects from faculty, other students, and alumni affiliated with the Lab. Projects can commence in the Fall 2018, but we are open for applications already! You can read more about becoming a Junior Researcher and stay updated on open positions in the Lab here.

In addition, we are always looking for volunteers and community members. Read more about the different ways of getting involved with ETHOS here.

Event:
Great Deletion Poetry Rave

Or: The ETHOS Lab GDPR Launch Party. On the eve that the GDPR becomes regulatory fact across Europe, we will be transforming the ETHOS Lab into a party space. As researchers in the ETHOS Lab, we are interested in data in all its forms, but especially in the technologies through which people relate to it. We will black out our windows, play data soundscapes, hang GDPR wallpaper, drink beer and make deletion poetry! This will be an evening of arts engagement and techno-humanities experimentation at a key moment in regulation transformation.

All are welcome, and your ticket to entry will be something to delete.

When: Thursday 24 May 17:00-19:00
Where: ETHOS Lab, ITU (room 3A30)

Keeping Computation Open for Interpretation

Following Stuart Geiger's visit in late March, a blog post made it onto the ETHOS Lab blog Metadata. Geiger joined forces with PhD Fellows in the Technologies in Practice research group at ITU Bastian Jørgensen and Michael Hockenhull, and Research Assistant Mace Ojala to compose reflections on computational ethnography and the ethnography of computation.

Research Sharing Day

As May comes to an end, ETHOS Lab will be helping the Technologies in Practice research group at ITU share their research at ITU Research Sharing Day. We are looking forward to hopefully showcase some of the methods and experimentations the ETHOS Lab provides a space for in doing research about data practices and our relations to the digital technologies that transform lives.
