interconnected media-technological tendencies are reshaping relationships with our home planet. First: projects of digital twinning that aim to create virtual replicas of Earth, such as the European Commission’s Destination Earth, NVIDIA’s Earth-2, and, at
a national scale, Imagining Canada’s Digital Twin. Second: cohabitation of other planets from NASA’s Artemis program for Mars to the tech oligarchy’s visions of abandoning Earth and beginning anew elsewhere in the Solar System.</span></p>

Earth is a one-day workshop organized at the University of Toronto on October 6. We are inviting contributions, which examine and theorize the stakes of twinning Earth both digitally and in livable habitats on distant planets. What technologies, techniques
and cultural contexts are required to make doubles of Earth? What values and priorities animate computational efforts to make Earth livable as the climate crisis intensifies? What techno-futures are envisioned in grand ambitions of transforming hostile outer
space environments into Earth-like habitats?</span></p>

workshop is organised by Tero Karppi (UofT), Hanna E. Morris (UofT), and Michael Richardson (UNSW Sydney) and supported by the Jackman Humanities Institute’s Program for Arts. The workshop takes place in-person at the University of Toronto in Toronto, Canada,
prior to the annual science and technology studies 4S Conference. To maximise the collaborative potential of the workshop, participants will distribute max 2,000 word papers two weeks prior to the event, which they will then speak to in collaborative, discussion-focused
panels. Papers can be loose drafts rather than polished works, with the aim of using feedback at the workshop to develop full papers for potential inclusion in a special issue, with an appropriate journal to be determined based on draft contributions.</span></p>
