<p>Dear Meg and team,<br>
<br>
Another channel for distribution is the Datagov Linkedin account,
Sruthi is the manager :) <br>
<br>
Meg, are you talking about the general invitation to the public
event? I think keynotes have already been contacted (by Stefi),
while I'm not sure we started inviting people for the workshop
(probably next on the list). </p>
<p>Stefi and I started contacting the artists, Martin Tironi and
Crosslucid. Still waiting for CL to answer, while Martin seems to
suggest that moving his expo from the Venice Biennale is probably
too complicated. Meg and Jonas, I'm going to forward you his email
so you can maybe help me think this through, since Meg has been in
contact with FF and Jonas is a second coordination eye on a bit of
everything :) <br>
<br>
</p>
<p>Best, <br>
Giulia<br>
<br>
<br>

Let me know if there’s other channels you can think of!
Specifically channels where we can reach a more general public
audience (i.e,, I’ve used sites such as eventbrite before. I
don’t know how effective it is but I’ve gotten sign ups for
academic events I’ve posted on there before).</div>

data infrastructures: data-grabbing systems that actively
shape the polity, from monitoring and automated
decision-making to mediating access to public services,
rights, and welfare. The project, funded by the European
Research Council (ERC), takes a comparative approach
investigating the European Union, Brazil, India, and South
Africa, to examine how these infrastructures transform
governance and what they mean for the future of democracy in
an era of pervasive datafication. To start with, our empirical
focus is on four technology families: biometrics, digital
identity, and health and education technologies, and how these
reconfigure citizenship, sovereignty, and inequality. </div>

Spread across two days, the kickoff will feature workshops,
keynotes, performances, and a borrel, bringing together a
diverse group of participants from academia, policymaking,
industry, civil society, and the arts. The event will also
leave ample time for conversation, (net)working, and enjoying
each other’s company. All programming is free of charge.</div>
