Re: <nettime> Extended deadline August 1st 2026 for Post-Disciplinary Creative Practices, EAI ArtsIT 2026

[Geert Lovink via nettime-l <nettime-l@lists.nettime.org>]

I agree. The latest in this genre are the (online) book clubs where the author pays anything between 100-500 USD for the privilege to show up amongst the member-readers. I received three in one month, which started to make me suspicious if these were real scams, meaning criminals that are after one’s personal (bank) data and so on. I might cover this in a next collection of ‘memorable spam’. Best, Geert

>> • Post-disciplinary creative practices and authorship;
>> • Creative identity;
>> • AI art;
>> • Open Source, Creative Commons, shared and distributed media in creative

>> • Participative, interactive and collaborative forms;
>> • Technology and post-humanism;
>> • Post-disciplinary creative practices and audiences;
>> • Post-disciplinary creative practices’ relationship with broader
>> ‘postness’ in culture e.g. post-art, post-internet, post-digital,
>> post-modern, post-anthropocene etc.;
>> • Post-disciplinary creative practice and ‘the academy’;
