The first in-person workshop “Coffee, Croissants & Observations” in Vienna, Austria

The inaugural in-person ‘CCO Data Collective’ workshop, held within the picturesque setting of Vienna University, saw approximately 25 friends and colleagues from across the globe come together face-to-face to present and discuss data from communicative and performative perspectives.

True to its billing, hot coffee, warm croissants, and rich observations flowed as scholars from the CCO community welcomed performativity colleagues to exchange ideas about what they were seeing, experiencing, sensing, and feeling from the data.

Three eclectic data submissions were presented, from post-mortem ski areas in the alps, to a Danish governance board, and then finally to the CCO of subjectivities in polyphonic protest art in Hong Kong. Thank you to Monica Nadegger (U of Innsbruck), Frank Meier (CBS), and Marilyn Poon (U of Innsbruck) for sharing their data and to all present for the rich and generative dialogue that followed.

We’re sure we can all agree that the in-person format compliments the online variant, so please ‘watch this space’ for further details about plans for Summer 2023.
