Last month the Institute of Network Cultures organized a two day conference entitled Society of the Query. Below you can find a wrap-up of notes taken during the conference.
Subtitled Stop searching start questioning, the Society of the Query conference was soon nick-named the anti-Google conference, though its focus was a little bit different. The underlying idea was to take a critical look at Google and its dominance in the digital domain, as a way to start thinking about ways to conceptualize the idea of search, and to think about its theoretical background.
