This article by N. Casemajor & W. Straw is very exciting and relevant far beyond the research on #Blockchain: they argue to take up the concept of the "scene" for a "research agenda". Similar to our research on #pioneercommunities, the point is that the emergence of media technologies cannot be understood without analysing the figurations of their social imaginaries.

If you are interested in #lab discourse, it is worth looking at "The Lab Book" by @alienated, @LoriEmerson and @JusPar. https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-lab-book I myself recently wrote something about the relationship between the #lab, the #space, the #meetup and #pioneercommunities. https://jcom.sissa.it/article/pubid/JCOM_2203_2023_A05/

Out now at @JsciCOM@twitter.com: The special issue “Living labs under construction: paradigms, practices, and perspectives”, edited by Caroline Wehrmann, Christian Pentzold, Ingmar Rothe and @analog_a@twitter.com https://jcom.sissa.it/article/pubid/JCOM_2203_2023_E/

My own article is on “The #lab, the #space and the #meetup: locating technological #experimentation in everyday life”, which is about the history of lab discourse and #pioneercommunities. #LivingLabs #Maker #QuantifiedSelf https://jcom.sissa.it/article/pubid/JCOM_2203_2023_A05/

There is now a video of my keynote on #digital societies, deep #mediatization and communicative #AI at @sfsic@twitter.com congress available online. Thanks again for the great invitation! #comAI #pioneercommunities

Arrived at the LSE, where the Media Futures conference for @MediaLSE@twitter.com's 20th anniversary starts today. I'm delighted to be there with a presentation on #pioneercommunities as curators of #digital #futures.

Today, Sun 13:30 at #ICA23: a PTC panel on new concepts for #media and #communication theory. I will present on „Experimenting with the #Future: The Life Cycle of #PioneerCommunities“.

Tomorrow, Sun 13:30 at #ICA23: a PhilCom panel on new concepts for #media and #communication theory. I will present on „Experimenting with the #Future: The Life Cycle of #PioneerCommunities“.

Today at @zemki research seminar: @daspitzberg@twitter.com presenting his latest research on AI ChatBots. #ComAI #pioneercommunities

I am already very excited about the conference on communicative AI at the @Viadrina@twitter.com. And I'm looking forward to my keynote there on Friday #comAI #pioneercommunities deep #mediatization https://sciences.social/@zemki/110096118033473555

One important point Friedrich Krotz makes at the @zemki workshop on #mediatization, especially from the perspective of research on #pioneercommunities and #pioneerjournalism: mediatization research should also be prognostic in the sense that it looks at possible #futures. Otherwise, development is left to tech companies and their interests. I would completely subscribe to that, but it also means thinking hard about the necessary methods and theories.

#Journalism is all excited about #ChatGPT - and in part paints many ghosts of how machines will replace the writing human. The @tazgetroete published a good essay by Nadine Lordick, who takes the human-machine symbiosis seriously, which is the leitmotif of these systems and their #pioneercommunities. Only the headline of the @tazgetroete falls back again: "When machines write". Well. #ComAI https://taz.de/KI-und-ChatGPT/!5909029/

"At a Loss." Just read an article in the German @ART_magazin@twitter.com about how #tech industry-driven prices are causing "San Francisco to lose its status as an #art city and center of #counterculture." From my field research in #SiliconValley last fall, I would say lost are parts of the tech faith in hyper #capitalism. But I think this is more of an opportunity for the local scene to revive. #pioneercommunities

@nobre thanks - In case German is ok, I have a relatively recent paper on the life cycle of #pioneercommunities: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11577-022-00835-6
