Critical Urbanism Summer Workshop: Spatialities of Digital Twinning

The Laboratory of Critical Urbanism at European Humanities University in Vilnius, Lithuania is sponsoring a summer workshop on June 29 - July 8 on "Spatialities of Digital Twinning," open to students of all levels, early career academic researchers and practitioners. 

This workshop scrutinizes the current trend of creating digital twins for infrastructures and institutions with the purpose of increasing both their predictive capacities and their efficiency. Modeling copies of infrastructures and institutions (and potentially, collective behavior, interpersonal relationships, events, and conflicts) inspires new practices and new notions of spatiality. The Workshop develops analytical and interventionist approaches to examine the statuses and possible consequences of such modeled copies in relation to the prevalent modes of thinking, organizing and inhabiting space. To do this, we propose considering digital twinning within the wider cultural history of attempts to achieve greater comprehension and greater efficiency via duplication. 

Participation fee is 250 euros. Applicants from OSUN partner institutions are encouraged to apply for funding (covering fee, travel and accommodation) via EHCN's Students Research and Professional Opportunities. The following institutions can access this funding:
