◆ Abstract◆ Jussi Parikka 教授提供

This talk will elaborate on why digital culture and computing needs to be understand as part of our environmental questions and struggles. Environments of digital culture are approached in two ways: as the locations and places where digitality is visible in the changing landscapes; and how this environment is also our ecological situation and the ecological stakes of understanding computation.

This planetary scale focus on computational culture starts from specific places: corporate server farms in South-East Finland to tech industries in Taiwan to other locations across the planet where the impact of the transformation can be seen and where media studies investigates as much questions of water and energy as it does traditional themes concerning human communication.

Recent years of environmental media research has started to focus on such aspects of geography of the Anthropocene and in a similar vein, I want to address what the field of media and communications, as well as the Arts and Humanities in general, can contribute. How do our ways of conducting knowledge production change when we look at our own material footprint, and how do emerging new research fields, such as on datafication of agriculture link to the biggest topics discussed in the Humanities, namely indeed the Anthropocene, the epoch of mass-scale environmental change.
