March 18–20, 2015
Darmstadtium Science and Conference Center

Taking stock at the end of its second funding period, the DFG-funded research training group Topology of Technology at Technische Universität Darmstadt invites you to its final conference.

How do technologies shape, create and modify social spaces? How do spaces, in turn, shape technologies? Discussing these questions at the Technospaces conference, members and friends of the research group will bring together scholars from history, computer science, literature, engineering, philosophy, sport science, sociology and urban planning.

With our international guests, we focus on themes such as topologies of workplaces, the alignment of power in war zones and sovereign territories, the modeling of life forms and environments by biotechnologies, the relevance of transportation infrastructure and communication technology in constructing social spaces, the influence of visual entities on concepts of nature and materiality, and the influence of visualization technologies in changing spatial perceptions.

Three days, three rooms, three streams, nine panels, thirty-six sessions, and two evening talks featuring Angelika Epple, Kathrin Passig, and Niels Werber.
