Results in brief

Networking Ecologically Smart Territories

The principal aim of Networking Ecologically Smart Territories (NEST) is to test the hypothesis that digital diversification, which will be explored as noodiversification and technodiversification as the conditions of resilience of human societies, holds the key to a reinvention of contemporary, proletarianising, industrial economics. NEST links academic research with social and artistic practices to carry out theoretical inquiry on the relationship between digital technologies, living systems and the production of knowledge within territorialized laboratories forming networks of localities. The project is based on contributory research: a method combining traditional academic, artistic, technological and industrial approaches with urban/rural research practices in order to constitute territorial communities integrating different forms of knowledge (practical and theoretical). The heart of the project is a mobility program for an international exchange of researchers and staff across academic and non-academic sectors of NEST actors, which allows the articulation of local territorial situations with planetary concerns in the context of the Anthropocene. There are 3 academic Work Packages. By extending the critique of digital technology already undertaken by the Digital Studies Network to reconsider the foundations of computer theory in relation to the concepts of locality, ne-gentropy, anti-entropy, data economy and networked AI by developing the concepts of technodiversity and cosmotech-nics (WP1). To experiment and introduce new forms of collective responsibility through Territorial experimentation, enabling new forms of citizen participation in local governance through contributory research (WP2). To experiment and develop a network of territorial laboratories of digital contributory research in order to study the constraints acting on life and the archipelagos of ecological niches by species inhabiting the same territoires, with a view to generating local understandings of living singularities and functional cooperations between territorial-laboratories and academics in view of the planetary threat. (WP3). The overall objective is to test the hypothesis that digital diversification, which is being explored as noodiversification and technodiversification as the conditions of resilience of human societies, holds the key to a reinvention of contemporary, proletarianising, industrial economics.

Project objective

The principal aim of Networking Ecologically Smart Territories (NEST) will be to test the hypothesis that digital diversification, which will be explored as noodiversification and technodiversification as the conditions of resilience of human societies, holds the key to a reinvention of contemporary, proletarianising, industrial economics. For this purpose, a large transdisciplinary research mobility project is necessary in order to articulate local territorial situations with international concerns in the context of the Anthropocene. The aims will be achieved through an international and intersectorial exchange of researchers and staff across the academic and non-academic partners of NEST. The NEST consortium is made of 11 partners, 5 EU academic partners TU Dublin (IRL), IRI (FR), Paris Lumières (FR), USLK (PL) and UGE (FR), 2 Third Country academic Partners Uartes (EC), Berkeley (US) and 4 non-academic partners, DCC (IRL), CSSD( FR), Factory of the Living (PL), and Disnovation (FR) . There are 3 academic WPs.By extending the critique of digital technology already undertaken by the Digital Studies Network to reconsider the foundations of computer theory in relation to the concepts of locality, negentropy, anti-entropy, data economy and networked AI by developing the concepts of technodiversity and cosmotenchnics (WP1).
