Resilience and the Future Machine: An Interdisciplinary Workshop

You are warmly invited to a half-day workshop exploring interdisciplinary approaches to resilience across the Arts and Humanities: Resilience and the Future Machine: An Interdisciplinary Workshop.

This workshop will be run by Spencer Jordan and Rachel Jacobs, where you can look forward to a combination of presentations, discussions and artist-led activities. The workshop will provide an opportunity to explore and share the various ways we are addressing issues of resilience across different research areas. A key outcome will be the establishment of interdisciplinary networks that can respond to funding calls in the area of social/cultural/environmental resilience.

Part of the workshop will involve a presentation and discussion of a case-study interdisciplinary project as a means of sharing best practice. The Future Machine project is an arts/research project that combines digital systems, rituals and actions as part of an interactive installation that responds to global and local environmental change and resilience. This project is led by the artist/researcher Rachel Jacobs in collaboration with a team of researchers from the University of Nottingham, University of Bristol, and scientists from the British Antarctic Survey.
