Dear EMCAI-colleagues,

I just wanted to share this event with you ? it might overlap with some of the challenges we have discussed in the network. The deadline to register interest in attending is *this Friday*.

During the last network meeting we also had the idea to submit the suggestion to do a small *presentation about the EMCAI network* and some of the challenges/analytic challenges that emerge with studying technology that is autonomous and potentially acts as an agent. I will attend and am happy to lead this effort, just *drop me a line if you would be interested to contribute*.

Kind regards,
Hannah

Feel free to share this invitation with colleagues and anyone interested in the theme ?

********************************************************************************************************************************
Studying Technologized Social Interaction II
(In-person seminar)
University of Helsinki, May 13 and 14th, 2024
Call for Participation

This two-day seminar is free of charge and welcomes both doctoral students and more experienced researchers to attend, present, and participate in workshops as we explore common interests, challenges, and experiences on the various topics concerning technologized interaction. We invite scholars working with recorded data from any kind of technology-mediated or technology-supported setting (e.g., educational, professional, mundane) to come and share their research and thoughts, but anyone interested in the topic is also warmly welcome. The aim is to bring together scholars with a shared interest in the study of technologized social interactions (Suchman 1987; Mlyn??, Gonz?lez-Mart?nez, & Lalanne, 2018) and address the following questions:

What are the emerging and persisting trends and possibilities that the use of technologies in our daily lives has created for social interaction research? What are the complexities and challenges when conducting such research (e.g., in data collection and analysis)?
The seminar consists of:
1) A talk by keynote speaker, Professor Ilkka Arminen, from the hosting University of Helsinki, https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ilkka-Arminen  https://helsinki.academia.edu/IlkkaArminen
2) A workshop where we will explore methodological, conceptual and practical challenges for carrying out research on technologized settings with emphasis on hands-on practice (e.g., data analysis)
3) Presentations (e.g., of research findings/settings/data) by the attendees (30 min/presenter). It is up to each presenter to decide how they wish to spend their time (e.g., how much time to spend on the presentation and joint discussion).
4) Data sessions (tbc, based on interest)

Here is the tentative schedule for the two days:
Monday, May 13th, 2024
10:00-10.30     Opening & introductions
10:30-11:30     Keynote: Ilkka Arminen: Will Artificial Intelligence be the next big technological development since Internet? How can EM/CA researchers study or
use it?
11:30-12:30     Presentations/data session
12.30-13.30     Lunch
13:30-15.00     Workshop
15:00-15:30     Coffee
15:30-17:30     Presentations/Data Session
18:30                Dinner (self-financed)
Tuesday, May 14th, 2024
09:15-12:00     Presentations/Data Sessions
12:00-13:00     Lunch
13:00-15:00     Presentations/Data Session
15:00-15:30     Closing Discussion and future planning

Register for the event by November 10th, 2024  https://forms.office.com/e/4er2vN7GNz

Should you have any questions about the event, please contact Tuire (tuire.oittinen at jyu.fi) and An (an.kosurko at helsinki.fi). We hope to see many of you in Helsinki in the spring!

Best regards,
                         Tuire, An and Ilkka

Subject: [emcai] Last EMCA/AI meeting of 2023 - Friday November 1
Message-ID: <DU0PR10MB651117515F6FB1E653B64F8BF1A8A@DU0PR10MB6511.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

Dear EMCA/AI network members,

Our last meeting of the year will be on Friday November 1st:
   - BST (London): 11:30-13:00
   - CET (Berlin, Stockholm, Paris): 12:30-14:00
   - EDT (Boston, New York): 6:30-8:00
   - Hong Kong: 19:30-21:00

Zoom link: https://liu-se.zoom.us/j/69884330110#success

We noticed that a theme emerged from the last sessions on human-animal and human-robot interaction, which can perhaps be subsumed under the topic of (artificial) life and animation.

As a ~ Holiday Special ~ for this last session of the year, we have decided to do an impromptu data session on an animation by Heider and Simmel from 1944<https://doi.org/10.2307/1416950>, an example of which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTNmLt7QX8E. Their animation uses abstract shapes to tell a story, and we are interested to see whether this is analyzable from an EMCAI stance. As the designers of the technologies that we study also attempt to animate intent, agency, animacy, etc. we hope that working with this very famous and early example of animation will lead to stimulating discussions.

For next year, we would like to continue with organizing sessions around specific themes. We will devote *the last 30 minutes* of this meeting to discuss and vote on the theme for the spring using a Mentimeter. We would like to hear your voice on this, so even if you maybe cannot make it to the full session, we want to encourage you to hop in for this activity.

We hope to see you on 1st of December!

Best,
Hannah, Lynn, and Saul
