We are excited to announce the *‘Lives of Data v2.0: Computing, Money, Media’ Workshop, on 05-06 January 2018*. *Call for Abstracts* The first ‘Lives of Data’ Workshop <http://sarai.net/lives-of-data-workshop-january-5-7-2017/>, in January 2017, initiated engaging, cross-disciplinary conversations <http://sarai.net/lives-of-data-workshop-report-recordings/> on the historical, cultural, political, and technological conditions of data-driven knowledge production and circulation in India and South Asia. The workshop brought together a diverse group of interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners with backgrounds in history of science, anthropology, media and technology studies, software engineering, data science, economics, and policy-making. The first workshop addressed a region and polity emboldened by a futuristic nostalgia for sovereignty via digitality and biometrics, and everyday ‘ends of history’ through technological disruptions. The Lives of Data v2.0 workshop aims to further examine the implications of the data revolution, and the historical and emergent computational cultures in India and South Asia. The workshop will build upon a mix of academic and practice-based research on history of statistics, media and computational cultures, politics and practices of data-driven governance, and big data infrastructures and imaginaries. In addition to the themes of the first workshop <http://sarai.net/call-for-abstracts-lives-of-data-workshop/>, this iteration will also focus on questions concerning digital money and machine intelligence. The Sarai Programme, CSDS invites submission of abstracts for the ‘Lives of Data v2.0: Computing, Money, Media’ Workshop. Besides academic researchers, we strongly encourage media, design, and software practitioners to apply for the workshop. Abstracts should *not exceed 300 words*, and should be sent to dak@sarai.net *by 15 October, 2017*, with the subject heading ‘Proposal for the Lives of Data Workshop.’ Authors of the selected abstracts will be notified by 30 October, 2017.
