Seminar: Borders, (im)mobilities and databases

We are excited to invite you to an interdisciplinary seminar that brings together critical academic scholarship and artistic practices to interrogate the complex reality of the contemporary European border control regime, and its technologies.

Combining scientific and artistic regimes of engagement, the seminar explores how imaginaries of the present and future of digital borders, with their promises of order, seamless governance and frictionless flows of bodily data, are constructed, as well as how the lived reality of administrative, and spatial tactics, policies and technologies of borders unfolds. 

The seminar is part of the DiNoBord public seminar series, which started at the Röhsska Museum of Design and Craft in Gothenburg in May 2025, and will continue to Oslo in the early Spring 2026.
