Dartmouth Events

As media and information theorists, historians, musicians, visual artists, we have been working to understand how counting —aggregating, numbering, calculating, quantifying— has been a core social, political, and aesthetic activity of media, across many domains, and through long histories. How, we want to know, do certain technologies—machines that count—come to count as “media,” while others are excluded, occluded, or made minor?

Hosted by Jacqueline Wernimont (FMS, DHSE), our HMC2 visiting faculty/artist fellows are David Cecchetto (York University), Simone Jones (Ontario College of Art & Design University), Jennifer Rhee (Virginia Commonwealth University), and Scott Richmond (University of Toronto), with a possible special guest to be announced later. 

Tuesday’s symposium will be held in the Hayward Room at the Hanover Inn, starting at 9 a.m. and ending by 3:30 p.m. We are asking people to RSVP by Dec 23, 2024 so we can plan for food and beverage; there is no cost to attend. People who have RSVP’d will receive a more detailed agenda for the day closer to the date (you are welcome to come and go during the day!).
