Dear All,

Please join us for for two new conversations on the epistemologies and equities of sleep this Fall as part of the Sleep Salons. We kick things off this Wednesday with “Quantified Sleep,” with short talks by Anna Nolda Nagele (Queen Mary University of London) & Adam Haar Horowitz (MIT Media Lab). Then, on November 16, we welcome Cressida Heyes (University of Alberta) and Saodat Ismailova (Filmmaker & Artist) to discuss “The Politics of Sleep” — info to come.

Description: In an effort to improve our sleep, we’ve turned to digital assistants. But apps that help us in our fall to sleep or that monitor our body’s performance have become problematic companions in our efforts to rest. New technological interfaces are also entering sleep itself, aiming to enhance mechanisms dependent on sleep and dreams, such as memory consolidation or creativity. In this salon, we discuss and question new technologies that read, quantify, and optimize the dormant body.”

Anna Nolda Nagele is a design researcher, creative technologist and publisher. She is a PhD Candidate in Media and Arts Technology at Queen Mary University of London, Associate Lecturer in Design Management at the London College of Communication and Founding Editor of The Posthumanist magazine. Her current research analyses the effects and affects of wearable sleep-trackers on user subjectivities, culture and environment through a critical posthumanist lense, using discourse analysis and autoethnography.

Adam Haar Horowitz work in cognitive science, with a particular focus on sleep and dreams. He is interested in how brain science can expand to interact with art, technology and policy. Adam recently graduated with his PhD from MIT, where he worked on teams building devices for tracking sleep and guiding dream content. These days, Adam is spending time bringing his tools to other labs for guiding dreams and nightmare treatment with the VA, working on neuroscience based prison policy advocacy with the Center for Law, Brain and Behavior, and bridging art and neuroscience in a form that (hopefully) goes beyond ornamental with the MIT Museum Studio.
