Dear colleagues,
If you work on the topic of energy and data, we invite you to submit an
abstract for our panel at the Nordic STS conference in Oslo (June 7-9, 2023).
* * * Datafication and Energy: Platforming, Infrastructuring, Experimenting *
* *
Organised by: Julia Velkova, Darcy Parks and Caroline Anna Salling
In this open panel, we invite peers to reflect on the diverse ways in which
the "digital energy" imaginary is enacted in practice - in multiple arenas,
scales and contexts - and the resulting conflicts and tensions. Actors from
the energy and tech industries are increasingly introducing platform logics to
the governance of energy production and transmission; they build new
connections between global data centers and local energy networks; and are
experimenting with new services via devices such as sensors and apps. In these
contexts, we seek to understand the interlacing and intertwinement of
infrastructures sustaining data streams and infrastructures carrying energy
flows, and ask: how is this interlacing imagined and practiced? With which
implications? For whom?
These trends raise many questions about the entanglement of energy and data
infrastructure. Which changes are made to existing localised and globalised
energy systems to accommodate the hyperscale energy consumption of heavy data
processing? Which actors make the new energy systems that are replacing or
extending traditional systems? Is the maintenance of energy through
digitalisation, as well as energy consumption through datafication, forms of
infrastructural care or economic opportunism?
Deadline is March 1. You can read the full description of the panel, find more
about the conference, and submit your abstract here:
