Matters of Facts is a series of workshops, talks and screenings developed by the Orthogonal Methods Group (OMG) that explores the relationship between facts, computation, algorithms, poetics and politics. This series poses questions and provides a platform for conversations on the role of mathematics, measurement, language and statistics in describing reality and shaping society, particularly in relation to the role of computerised algorithmic mediation and today's governance.
Taking place from 22 - 25 October, 2018 at the Graz University of Technology, Matters of Facts aims to bring together academics and non-academics from various fields, within diverse formats and working methods. The Orthogonal Methods Group with Grazer Kunstverein and IZK TU Graz will host a number of talks, workshops, screenings and hangouts to explore, articulate and map Matters of Facts:
_ Workshop: Engineering Fictions
_ Workshop: Diagram Reading Group
_ Workshop: Logic Gate Session
