This year's meeting takes place on the grounds of the University of Virginia. It begins with two days devoted to CHCI’s core work as a consortium: bringing together scholars, artists, administrators, and other staff members crucial to the intellectual and practical missions of humanities centers and institutes. The themed portion of the program, “Humanities Informatics,” includes plenary lectures by Achille Mbembe, Lydia Liu, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, and Michael Witmore. Panels include subjects such as ‘Information Wars, Impossible Democracies,’ ‘Art, Desire and Techno-Entanglements,’ and ‘Epistemic Acceleration, Algorithmic Cultures.’ There will also be a workshop on ‘Experimental Humanities’ that will feature the work of various humanities labs.
