Research presentation with Caroline Nevejan and guests
On Thursday March 18, starting at 13.00 hrs, Caroline Nevejan will present the extensive research she has been developing on witnessed presence and system engineering since the Fall of 2008, together with members of the Autonomous Systems group at Delft University of Technology, artists and professionals from a variety of disciplines.
Caroline Nevejan is a researcher and designer focusing on the implications of technology on society, who has been involved with interdisciplinary projects for over 20 years. Currently she works with internationally with professionals, academics and artists on Witnessed Presence. Witnessed Presence deals with question such as: How do human beings bear witness to one another? Can manmade systems and infrastructure bear witness to us? How can we be witness and bear witness to each other when so often presence is mediated by technology?
A scientific site has been set up where the research design, academic publications as well as the source material of 21 interviews and work of 4 artists can be accessed:

With Mediamatic Lab an experimental site is under construction to unfold knowledge from academia, the professional realm and the arts in relation to one another.
This work in progress can be accessed at:

The program includes guest presentations by artists and researchers who were involved in the project: Debra Solomon, Dr. Satinder Gill, Ronald Ophuis and Martijn Warnier.
