Description
The Southern Ocean is typically encountered through techno-utopian myths that do little to share the diverse ecologies, sensations, and imaginaries within (Elzinga, 2009). Such representations avoid the long history of industrial processes here, and the ocean is made to seem redundant in the co-constitution of human, nonhuman, and non-lively relationships across an urbanising planet. Countering this are new technologies expanding into remote spaces: a ‘smart ocean’ that generates complex legal, ecological, and moral questions. This presentation will examine the escalation of potentially destructive processes within environments that sustain populations on dry land, and ask what contribution can be made to understanding everyday life by extending into an ocean world encountered through increasingly automated underwater bodies.| Period | 12 Nov 2021 → 13 Nov 2021 |
