Had the privilege to participate in @DMCSschool in Como this week, enjoyed every second of it! Leaving with a lot of inspiration and a bunch of new tools for my own future research. Shoutout to the organizers and all my brilliant co-participants!

Been an utterly magical week at @DMCSschool in beautiful Como, Italy.

Made friends with so many wonderful people and though I’m sad to be leaving, I’m coming back to Sheffield inspired and ready to get stuck back in… bravo!

It is our moral duty to research and cast light onto risks&harms of AI automation of consumption taking away not only our privacy, but also human acts of consumerism as cultivation of selfhood, resistance, and negotiation of capitalism ~ Janice Denegri-Knott  #DMCS23 @DMCSschool
