Reminder: CfA: “Synthetic data and representation: The politics of AI generated computational practices” EASST 2026

[Charlotte Högberg]

Dear colleagues,

This is a reminder to submit an abstract to our panel on synthetic data and representation at the upcoming EASST conference in Kraków, 8-11 September 2026. 

“Synthetic data and representation: The politics of AI generated computational practices”

Synthetic data are touted as fixes to technical, ethical, and political challenges. But what do they mean for the politics of representation in knowledge production? This panel explores the ontological politics of AI and synthetic data, asking how they reshape what—and who—counts as real.

We welcome empirical, theoretical, and artistic contributions that engage with synthetic data in knowledge making. 

Here you find more information about our panel and how to submit your proposal: https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/easst2026/p/17969# 

The deadline for abstract submission is February 28.

We hope to see you and engage with your work in Kraków!

Best,

Charlotte Högberg, Stefano Canali, and Francis Lee
