Indeterminate Infrastructures – Objects, signals and architectures is the 10th ADA Network symposium, taking place in the form of a one-day online symposium on Saturday 4th December 2021.
Contemporary media have been continuously shaped by the indeterminate infrastructures they rely upon, with creative practice resonating with or intervening in these often ambiguous architectures. The theme aims to examine what lies beyond these infrastructures and exploring how creative media and art practices unfold into wider ecologies of media and materialities within digital networks.
