Abstract
The POM - Politics of Machines conference series was co-founded by Laura Beloff and Morten Søndergaard. The first edition, Politics of Machines: Art and After was hosted by Aalborg University Copenhagen 15-17 May, 2018, and organized in collaboration with the IT-University of Copenhagen. Furthermore, the POM2018 was realized in collaboration with the EVA-London conference series and the British Computer Society under the name EVA-Copenhagen, or EVA/POM2018.
With more than 100 speakers selected from nearly 220 submissions, the conference consisted of 10 thematic tracks, an exhibition of art projects, performances and student work by Erasmus Master in Media Arts Cultures’ students. It also hosted a Ph.D. workshop organised in collaboration with POM, IT-University and CATCH - Centre for Art and Technology.
One of the aims of the conference, worth of mentioning, was to foster also a dialogue between academic and non-academic researchers. This was achieved by providing a quota of free-registrations for people without academic affiliation and funding.
