EKSIG organizes regular conference activities to provide an active platform for its members. EKSIG runs a biennial conference series and special strands at the DRS and IASDR conferences. 

This year MOME has the opportunity to host this conference and invite professionals from different fields! 
We invite contributions from creative subjects and other disciplines, e.g. design, architecture, engineering, craft, media, HCI, performance, music, fine art, curation, museology, archaeology, philosophy, knowledge management, education, health, cognitive science, sensory studies and other fields that are concerned with collaboration in research and in creative and professional practice.

Please note that all payments will be processed in Hungarian Forints (HUF). The amounts listed in EUR are indicative; the final HUF fees were calculated using an exchange rate of 410 HUF per 1 EUR (based on the official rate plus a small margin to cover exchange fluctuations). This ensures the conference can maintain stable pricing despite changes in currency rates.

Regular - early bird

Concessions - early bird

This workshop invites designers of data physicalizations to make sense of how people (‘users’) actually engage with their designs: What kind of discussions and actions can data physicalizations trigger? What rests on the designs, and what depends on facilitation?

What people do with data physicalizations

Have you ever considered symptoms as material signs of dysfunctionalities self-inscribed in your body? Inspired by autographic visualization (Offenhuber, 2023 and 2020), this workshop suggests data physicalization and sonification to represent symptoms while also exploring material properties for personalized data communication.

Exploring Self-Narratives and Data Physicalization Practices

By going beyond screen-based interaction, smart glasses are poised to redefine our interactions with technology and one another, shifting social norms and altering shared perceptions of reality. In this gamified workshop, we will navigate some of the social, ethical, and legal questions that the rapid adoption of immersive technology raises.

Space Oddities - Societal Effects of Phygitality

This workshop will explore the gradual process of understanding how physical movement can be digitized, transformed into data, and manipulated to bring a puppet to life.

Transforming Physical Movement

As Generative AI transforms design workflows, it also generates vast amounts of discarded visual data which consumes energy, storage, and other resources involved in the generative AI production process, while remaining creatively untapped and forgotten. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to re-think, re-code, and curate abandoned generative images.

Framing Generative Waste

This workshop explores embodied intelligence as a form of computation for navigating an increasingly unpredictable world.

Embodied Computing Practices for a Contingent World

For attendees who are not paper presenters. The conference fee gives you access to the following: Paper presentations, Keynote speeches, Participate at 2 workshops, Opportunities for networking and discussions with fellow researchers and participants, Exhibition, Closing event, Complimentary conference materials e.g., welcome bag, Lunch refreshments and coffee breaks throughout the conference.
