Utility and Bias: Connecting spaces of digital and analog research

Utility and Bias: Connecting spaces of digital and analog research

The digital revolution and the digitization of information have permeated nearly every aspect of our lives. This transformation has enabled more precise models for disaster prediction, optimized rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing, created free training data for LLMs, enabled healthcare innovations through smart fabrics, and facilitated the archiving and free accessibility of information via the World Wide Web. Yet, as we draw closer to the role of "Homo Digitalis", we continue to discover new spaces for communication, interaction, and inhabitation that bridge the gap between the virtual and the physical.

The fourth edition of the BOL/HP Symposium aims to explore these liminal spaces directly by presenting and discussing a series of projects that innovatively bridge this divide in both scientific and artistic practice.
