Forking Room’s research lab is a program aiming to share artistic research and co-produce knowledge, focusing on the phenomena around the interface between art, technology, and society. Each year, participants delve into their own topic under the yearly theme and conduct individual research for four weeks with presentation and discussion, finally publishing them as a form or research zine.
 

Due to the heavy amount of pages, the zines are not translated into English and we kindly ask you to use machine translation. Please mention the author when you cite any of these zines or directly contact the author for further discussion. All rights reserved to the authors.

 

Forking Room Research Lab 2024 Hyper, Super, X-large, Boom!

​

We will share thoughts on the current landscape of technology, not just in terms of large and small scales, but also in terms of networks of relationships: mega-models, dataset sizes, data augmentation, parameter values, the growth of service users, fake news, labor exploitation, trust and ethics issues.
