Extended Deadline for the NordMedia Conference

“While we know a single-use plastic cup is harmful to the planet, fewer realise the environmental toll of five hours of Netflix”, observes Martina Skrubbeltrang Mahnke, one of the co-chairs of the newly formed TWG “Digital Technologies, Materiality, and the Environment”. Set to debut at the NordMedia25 conference in Odense next year, the group will explore the hidden costs of digital technologies – rising energy consumption, dwindling natural resources, and mounting e-waste – while addressing the pressing issue of social accountability in an era of rapid technological progress.
