ETHOSLab Node, Copenhagen | Distribute 2020

Public Group
Rachel Douglas-Jones
The virtual ETHOSLab node of Distribute 2020 is organised at the IT University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with the Technologies in Practice research group. We had planned to gather in person in the Lab and watch together, but since the University buildings are closed, we will gather online instead. Participants in this Node are welcome to tune in on their own initiative on the 7th. We will convene online together for three hours on the morning of Friday 8th, to watch the start of Loop 2 of Stream 2, which starts in Dakhar at 8am (10am in Copenhagen). From 9-10 we will watch a film together, using Zoom as a realtime chatroom. From 10-11 we will tune into Performances of Public Anthropology, a panel particularly relevant to the work of researchers in the ETHOSLab and TiP group for the way it demos extra-textual formats (video, performance art, song) and thinks through anthropology beyond the academy. From 11:15-12 we plan to discuss our experiences of the distributed conference online together, via Zoom, and discuss what formats worked for us. Each hour will have a chair and discussant from members of the Node organising group, which consists of Rachel Douglas-Jones, James Maguire, Caroline Salling, Ester Fritsch, Anne-Sofie Lautrup Sørensen, Marie Blønd and Luuk Blum.
