*Apologies for cross-posting* Please consider joining us on *Friday, December 4, 9am Pacific Time* for 'Cities and Computers: Our Urban-Machinic Imaginaries'. This event brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars interested in interrogating the many shifting registers of the terms 'cities' and 'computers' and how they get historically, mediatically, aesthetically, metaphorically, and conceptually interlocked, or mapped on to each other. Talking about their latest work would be Shannon Mattern (New School), Brian House (Lewis & Clark), Yuriko Furuhata (McGill), and Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal (UC Davis and Universität Siegen). May Ee Wong and Tobias Smith (UC Davis) will co-moderate the round-table. Please register at https://ucdavis.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAodeivrjoqGtC-2QBJtR8Wxy3N9jXK8g8... or https://tinyurl.com/citiescomputers for your zoom link! And feel free to forward to anyone else who may be interested. The event is organized by the Technocultural Futures Research Cluster, and sponsored by Science and Technology Studies <https://sts.ucdavis.edu/> at UC Davis. We hope to see you there! If you have any questions, please direct them to me (rjdhaliwal@ucdavis.edu). Best wishes, Ranjodh -- *Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal* Visiting Fellow, Sonderforschungsbereich “Medien der Kooperation,” Universität Siegen.
