The Existential Media node
The Existential Media node studies automation of the human lifeworld and of the natural environment, in the form of two projects.
The BioMe project is rooted in existential media studies and studies how people are living with automation today, and in particular biometric artificial intelligence such as face recognition, voice recognition and sensory data capture. The project is funded within the national WASP-HS program.
The Mediated Planet project is hosted by KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) and studies the datafication of the environment – in terms of critical needs and existential stakes – in the age of ecological crisis, in order to promote policy initiatives for implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Funding provided by WASP-HS and Formas.
