Teaser "Myths of Disruption", December 8, 2023

The last day of the fourth TUDiSC conference will be dedicated to PhD students. To support them in their work, we offer a day full of interesting workshops and opportunities for exchange. Be one of the first to read up on one of the exciting workshops we are going to offer:

How to communicate your research engangingly and convincingly
(with Michael Gordian)

In this short workshop, you will learn the basics of how to communicate your research effectively and how to present your work in an engaging and convincing manner. Sure, you can use ChatGPT but often enough this will not do the work. We will practice a number of simple and effective rhetorical techniques which will help you to bring your message across to a broad audience.There will be some time to discuss individual questions and to practice in short individual and group exercises. By the end of the workshop, you will have a toolbox of techniques which you can use and refine on your own. This is a 100% interactive and practical seminar, so be ready to actively participate and have fun!

Disruption - Technikphilosophische Perspektiven

DISRUPCIÓN - Perspectivas de la Filosofía de la Tecnología

This anthology is the result of an exchange between researchers from Europe and Latin America. It gathers different perspectives on the philosophy of technology and thus aims to contribute to the reflection of the current discussion on disruption. The perspectives collected include contributions on current ethical issues of technological and scientific developments, their social embeddedness and accountability. Epistemological as well as scientific-theoretical aspects are also discussed. A special feature is that both analytical and phenomenological perspectives come together and that both practical and theoretical facets related to disruption are illuminated.

Editor: Dr. Stadelhofer

10. June – 01. October 2023 | Ostrale Biennale O23

Organizer's Event Concept:

Never before has our society been as divided as it is today, while the need for community and solidarity is greater than ever as well. We are faced with acute and daunting questions, problems and challenges, such as global social inequality, protecting our planet, an ongoing pandemic and the resistance against aggressors.
Human beings always move in a sphere between reality and illusion – as does art. What perceptions are reflected in the creative unrest of today's contemporary art? What possibilities for a future-proof community are being discussed? Do the building blocks we will potentially discover show us what divides or what unites us? Artworks as individual traces expand the spectrum of knowledge we gain through experience. They can help us gain greater understanding. Creativity as a resource grows with intensive use instead of dwindling – which can only be an added value.

AI supported Transcriptions

Through the enhancements of AI, transcription programs have also been further developed and improved.
Audapolis is a BMBF funded prototype and runs on Mac, Linus and Windows.

An improved algorithm is being used by noScribe. The AI was developed by the same company as ChatGPT. However, the data remains on the local storage device and can thereby also be used for research:
