Thursday evening’s keynote lecture is presented by media theorist Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University. Having studied both Systems Engineering and English Literature, Wendy is known for her examinations of utopian ideas of cyberspace and bodylessness; of “newness”, resurgent cycles of novelty, habituation, and obsolescence; of control and freedom in software art; and the negotiation of identity, alterity and otherness in virtual spaces.
