Six provocations for metaverse datafication
Although the ‘metaverse’ is still the feverish pipedream of tech companies and venture capitalists, it is also a powerful imaginary for channelling enormous resources towards deepening and extending ongoing processes of digitalization and datafication. It is thus likely that an increasing amount of human activity – both professional as well as leisure-related – will take place in metaversal spaces, and that the paradigm of ‘Big Data’ is about to …
Metaverse datafication
The ‘metaverse’ is currently being posited as the ‘next step of the Internet’ and the ‘interface of the future’, as can be witnessed not only from the rapid adoption of the term by technology companies and industry professionals, but also from the enormous investments made towards the development of metaverse platforms or ‘worlds’ and related technologies, such as headsets and other wearables. These developments – whether involving immersive envi…

Walking the Catwalk
Studies on the relationship between body and dress have merely scratched the surface of the lived experience and bodily practice of dress. I argue for moving beyond the “dressed body” towards “dressed embodiment” by complementing analyses of representation and discourse with research on bodily practice and bodily experience. An important starting point for such an endeavor is the notion of “body techniques” and its relation to the concept of “hab…

The conference was held in the monumental SocieÄteit de Witte, a private club on the Plein.
