Title: Question 1: What are computational infrastructures? Slug: 02-s2-question-1 Date: 2020-11-01 12:01 Summary: A video contribution by Seda Gürses.

The work of Seda Gürses provides us with handles to XXX [unpack, look closer into, study, explore] computational infrastructures. Throughout her work she has questioned the notion of "fair" technologies, how such "fair" practices are XXX [formulated, reasoned upon, shaped] and who is involved in reviewing the "fair" impact of digital systems. An important factor in her work is to approach computational infrastructures as systems that are far more than a technological ecosystems alone.

Seda is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Multi-Actor Systems at TU Delft at the Faculty of Technology Policy and Management, and an affiliate at the COSIC Group at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT), KU Leuven. Beyond her academic work, she also collaborated with artistic initiatives including Constant vzw, Bootlab, De-center, ESC in Brussels, Graz and Berlin.

Three works that particulary connect to digital infrapunctures are her work on POTs (Protective Optimization Technologies)1, Programmable Infrastructures2 and The Institute for Technology in the Public Interest3. Links to these works are included at the bottom of this page.
