The panel of things will address the self-fulfilling prophecy of datafied research through some trinkets we grabbed out of an ancient Chinese encyclopaedia.

The subject of our passions have become thingified? Or have we become the object, the thing? How do we feel about these inter-relations? Spam zombies, image standardisation, toolkits, performing archives, software interfaces, digital data funerals, the stuff of things, and other things. The panel of things will address the self-fulfilling prophecy of datafied research through some trinkets we grabbed out of an ancient Chinese encyclopaedia (entitled Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge).
