Seit 2003 finden die Begehungen in Chemnitz statt – ein Kunstfestival, das in jedem Jahr aufs Neue einen vergessenen oder verlassenen Raum „aufschließt“ und zugänglich macht. Inzwischen haben die Festivalmacher um Frank Weinhold und Lars Neuenfeld damit eine Institution in der Region geschaffen. Die Begehungen sind das größte Off-Event der Stadt Chemnitz, das einen unkonventionellen, […]

The possibility to cooperate with people and institutions from all over the world has always fascinate me. When I joined the CRC, almost one year ago, I was so happy to hear that international collaborations are strongly recommended and supported. The University of Naples Federico II, invited me to join them during spring 2021 in […]

In all conscience. Or: When the refrigerator buys an orange juice

Tags: hybrid societies, interdisciplinarity, intersecting projects, jurisdiction, law, responsibility

When we try to mechanize our society, create robots, program artificial intelligence as intelligently as possible and do all this in a way that humans will accept, the focus is primarily on scientific and psychological research. However, it should not be forgotten that people’s trust in a safe coexistence is not strengthened by a trustworthy […]

How to deal with a lot of data?

In the whole CRC Hybrid Societies, a lot of data is recorded and needs to be processed. Therefore, mathematicians are needed to find elegant ways to analyze the data and extract information that can be given back to draw conclusions.

All the way to the new CRC website

Having an up-to-date website is compulsory. It should be easy to navigate, contain all necessary information, be inviting, work on all devices, and it should also look nice. Tasked with these expectations, the website has been one of the core endeavors of project Ö which we pursued over the past year.

INFormation – INFrastructure – INFormatics

Doing research on Human Computer Interaction in Hybrid Societies requires a lot of expertise, many people, and interdisciplinary, collaborative data exchange activities. But all three aspects can only create value if they are targeted, coordinated and amplified systematically. Especially during a global pandemic, where science mainly has to happen in digital remote work environments in […]

Between disinfectant spray, head-mounted masks, and questionnaires

Investigating how people deal with intelligent machines naturally has a lot to do with people themselves. But how are you supposed to conduct scientific studies when a pandemic is keeping the whole world in check?! The answer sounds simple: with a lot of disinfectant, strict hygiene concepts and detailed planning. Sounds easy, but in addition […]
