Maria Rogg's talk looks at ambiguity as a valuable counterweight to a digital culture that demands certainty, and as a method within feminist care and critique. The main focus is the body in data culture, where body data is treated as the ground truth of who we are, even though it is always already shaped by interpretation. The talk draws on ethnographic research with artists and designers who use DIY biohacking to challenge technology and imagine embodiment differently.
The afternoon continues as a hands-on workshop in which participants practise living with ambiguous experiences of technology, working through writing, interviews and speculative storytelling in pairs. It is part of the 'Feminist Technoscience in Practice' series from ETHOS Lab, which focuses on applying digital and critical feminist methods.
