The first set of multidisciplinary dialogue sessions between Melbourne School of Design and Sony Computer Science Lab researchers took place during early 2023, exploring three open areas concerning cities, technologies, infrastructures, and culture. You can find recordings of all three discussions below:
- Dialogue 1 on Computation and Culture
- Dialogue 2 on Infrastructure and Democracy
- Dialogue 3 on Food and Ecosystems
They helped set the scene for multiple ongoing discussions and events over the following year, including the Sony CSL visit to Melbourne in July 2023 and a Sony CSL x MSD symposium in Venice in September 2023, with researchers from Ca’Foscari and University of Rome.
We’ll soon post up some summaries of those further discussions, as well as more in-depth record of a week-long working session here at the University of Melbourne during January 2024, in which we hosted colleagues from Sony CSL Rome and Sony CSL Kyoto. More soon!
