SUMMARY:Exhibition: “Data is a relation\, not a property”
DESCRIPTION:From 5 to 26 May 2023\, in the spaces of Bologna Attiva at DumBO\, the INCA partner Fondazione per L’innovazione Urbana host the exhibition “Data is a relation\, not a property”\, presented in 2021 by the Austrian Pavilion Platform Austria at the Venice Architecture Biennale. \nData is a relation\, not a property stages a polyphonic\, profound and punctual account of the process of the ‘flattening’ of existence\, with a specific look at so-called ‘platform urbanism’\, i.e. the forms\, dynamics and ways in which digital platforms transform the urban and its forms of life. It is a visual\, textual\, theoretical\, artistic and research exploration that allows us to enter into the complexity\, dynamics\, tensions and trends of our platform-society\, and contributes to creating a public space for reflection and discussion on some of the issues that affect the present of our city and contribute to designing its future. \nThrough a composite programme which\, within the framework of the exhibition\, provides for the organisation of different moments of encounter\, this second life of Platform Austria will give space in particular to the deepening of the slogan “Data is a relationship\, not a property“\, in order to open a public reflection on the construction of new and different data policies\, and on the experimentation of alternatives to the privatisation of data. \nThe programme: \n\nFriday 5 May\, 16.00 – 17.30: workshop What about art and the digital? Tips and insights.\nCarmen Hines (Technische Universität Wien) and Benjamin Gerdes (Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm) will lead this workshop\, which aims to measure how contemporary art is being transformed in the maelstrom of digitalisation. Through the discussion and viewing of the works of some digital artists\, a collective reasoning on this issue will be developed through the confrontation with heterogeneous artistic practices. Secondly\, the workshop intends to reflect on how it is possible to rethink forms of art exhibition and curatorship in the light of the most recent technological transformations symbolised by Artificial Intelligence.\nFriday 5 May\, 6.30 pm: talk and opening of the exhibition “Data is a relation\, not a property”\nPeter Mörtenböck and Helge Mooshammer\, Curators of Platform Austria and Professors at the Technische Universität Wien will open the exhibition with an introductory talk.\nThe talk will be in English with a presentation of the contents in Italian. Followed by an aperitif. Free admission.\nFriday 26 May\, 6 p.m.: Round table and closing Data as common. Possibilities\, experimentations\, risks.\nProgramme to be finalised.\n\nThe exhibition is open from Monday to Friday\, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.\, with free admission. \nAll events are held at the Officina shed in DumBO\, via Casarini 19.

SUMMARY:Report Launch: Fairwork UK Ratings 2023 – A Call for Transparency
DESCRIPTION:Digital labour platforms are increasingly challenging conventional employment relations and shaping the future of work in the UK. On the one hand\, gig work promotes economic growth and the creation of new jobs lowers labour market entry barriers for some workers\, and provides job flexibility to those who need it. On the other hand\, companies might slip through existing regulatory frameworks and workers experience unfair working conditions on the platforms. \nThis year’s report ‘Fairwork UK Ratings 2023: A Call for Transparency’ evaluates working conditions at 12 of the most popular digital labour platforms in the country\, including Amazon Flex\, Bolt\, Deliveroo\, Getir\, Gorillas\, Just Eat\, Ola\, Pedal Me\, Stuart\, Task Rabbit\, Uber\, and Yoopies. Our findings reveal that there are significant shifts underway in the platform economy in the wake of a tech financing collapse\, a cost-of-living crisis\, and the alleviation of COVID-19 restrictions for a whole year. Whilst the pandemic may have been halcyon days for platform companies\, the reality is starting to bite. We’ll be asking whether workers are left paying the price.\n \nPROGRAMME: \n14.00 – Welcome \n14.15 – Presentation of report findings \n14.45 – Panel discussion \n16.00 – Live audience Q&A \n16.30 – Networking \n*Drinks and light refreshments will be provided. \nPRESENTERS: \nDr. Adam Badger\, Lead Researcher\, Fairwork UK\, Oxford Internet Institute \nDr. Funda Ustek-Spilda\, Senior Researcher and Project Manager\, Fairwork UK\, Oxford Internet Institute \nEXPERT PANELLISTS:\n \nDr Sarrah Kassem – Lecturer\, Faculty of Economics and Social Sciences\, University of Tübingen \nEmma Selinger – Ventures Manager\, Resolution Foundation \nMichael ‘Six’ Silberman – Postdoctoral Research Fellow\, Bonavero Institute of Human Rights\, Faculty of Law\, University of Oxford \nFerdousara Uddin – Regional Organiser\, GMB Union
