As a platform where diverse and advanced theories, technologies and industries intersect, AIS will promote the dissemination and development of technologies and knowledge through the sharing and dissemination of information on the latest technologies, cross-industry and cross-disciplinary exchanges and human resource development, while looking at the evolution of the positioning of architecture itself as a more fundamental consciousness and broader concept, rather than the superficial application of informatics to the field of architecture.

Action Please
Martín Nadal (ES)
Hidden under its appearance of a mobile phone charger, FANGØ takes control of the smartphone it is plugged in, generating random interactions that add a layer of noise to disrupt the mechanics of surveillance capitalism. In the talk we will introduce the concept of surveillance capitalism and the concept of obfuscation, which consists in the production, inclusion, addition, or communication of misleading, ambiguous, or false data in an effort to evade, distract, or confuse data gartherers or diminish the reliability (and value) of data aggregations.

On Interaction
Karmen Franinović (CH), Joelle Bitton (FR), Roman Kirschner (AT), Gerhard M. Buurman (DE)
Around 2000, several interaction design programs were launched around the world. Along with London, New York and Ivrea, Zürich University of the Arts has launched its educational and research activities in this emerging field. We began with a motivation to humanize digital technologies and make them more inclusive and accessible. Two decades later, pressing environmental, social, and political challenges demand that we adapt and expand our focus to encompass worlds and interests other than only those of humans. We invite you to join us in reflecting on the critical and investigative role of interaction design in our society, today and over the past decades.
