For the #CSCW2025 closing keynote, Gina Neff discusses the myth of automation: automation uncovers and foregrounds current sociotechnical configurations. Technological innovation doesn't happen overnight, it's negotiated by people on the ground over time.
That’s a wrap on an unforgettable evening! 🎶✨
The Norwegian Orchestra filled the night with beautiful music and smiles at our CSCW Social Event. Huge thanks to everyone who joined us — what a wonderful way to celebrate our community.
