Open guest lecture with Maria Rogg, 23 November, 15:00-16:00, Auditorium 3 Maria Rogg is a doctoral candidate at K3, Malmö University. The talk draws on ethnographic research with artists and designers who use DIY biohacking to bewitch technology and imagine embodiment otherwise. Maria’s work departs from the understanding that body data is increasingly treated as the ground truth of being, yet data is always “already cooked,” and the tensions of lived experience are easily boiled down. What might dwelling in indeterminacy, contradiction, and multiple interpretations add to resisting this biometric imaginary? Workshop with Maria Rogg, 23 November, 16:00–18:00, Room 2A50 The workshop gathers the scraps—the unresolved, unspoken, or unmeasurable—and brews them into a potion for carefully reclaiming uncertain futures in the present. Participants are invited to explore an ambiguous experience with technology, drawn from their research or their private lives.

The event is part of the Feminist Technoscience in Practice series organized by ETHOS Lab.

16:00 - 18:00 (CET) Workshop with Maria Rogg
The workshop gathers the scraps—the unresolved, unspoken, or unmeasurable—and brews them into a potion for carefully reclaiming uncertain futures in the present. Participants are invited to explore an ambiguous experience with technology, drawn from their research or their private lives. Through critical and speculative fabulation, ambiguity becomes something to recognize, craft, and mobilize: not a conclusion but a ground for inquiry and coalition. Participants decide for themselves what they share and leave with their own recipe for cooking with data ambiguity.
