DESCRIPTION:Exploring Edges & Beyond Colloquium\n11-14 July 2017\, Lausann
 e\, Switzerland - EPFL\nDigital Humanities\, Artistic and Architecture Res
 earch\, Critical Technical Practice\n\nNew forms of research\, methods\, k
 nowledge\nResearch in applied and interdisciplinary areas often pus
 h beyond methodological and epistemological notions as articulated in esta
 blished scientific disciplines - it’s therefore difficult to plac
 e these research approaches within the framework of standardised scientif
 ic methods. In order to reflect on the relation between established
  emerging and interdisciplinary fields of research\, we will encourage new
  encounters by bringing together a broad spectrum of diverging and sometim
 es even conflicting disciplines\, namely engineering\, computer and natura
 l sciences\, architecture and artistic researchers.    Presently\, Digi
 tal Humanities for example sees itself as contributing to the re
 search community of the Digital as well as the Humanities\, by askin
 g new\, critical questions of existing algorithms and technical practices 
 Furthermore\, fields such as art and architecture understand their researc
 h as open to a variety of approaches and their findings are often consider
 ed to make contributions to multiple different areas\, ranging from the te
 chnical - to the social sciences.   Against this background we would
  like to discuss the following questions: What is the status of 
 knowledge produced in these fields\; and how might we build bridges 
 between them and established academic disciplines? At present\, it is 
 not yet clear how knowledge created in the new and interdisciplinary
  fields can feed back into technical research communities.    This 
 summer school therefore aims to bring together PhD students and 
 researchers in new forms of  scientific research with the research
  communities in art and architecture - in particular\, those artis
 tic and architectural researchers that engage with experimental-techni
 cal development as part of their work.    Attendees will be exp
 ected to be currently pursuing their own research projects\, and 
 their experiences from them will contribute to the School.\n\nAll informat
