@jarkman @BjornW @DianaW @vaurora @giplt @waag @marleenstikker @mboelen @libbymiller interesting - yes in the sense that i immediately followed everyone tagged in the post, rather wish i could justify going, pleased to see activist media arts turning up where circumstances leave me finding myself again
But less interesting due to the framing - the term "citizen science" sticks in the craw a little harder every time i read it. Science is done. Everything is an experiment, citizens are subjects.
@ultrazool I belief the organisers would prefer the term "community science", but citizen science is apparently a more well-known term.

Yes it is one of our many goals to get citizen science out of the vocabulary, or reserve it for volunteers doing tasks for academics. Community sensing is too narrow for our activities. We don't always use sensors. What we mean is science done by anybody who develops and shares knowledge.
@BjornW @jarkman @DianaW @vaurora @giplt @waag @marleenstikker @mboelen @libbymiller "community sensing" is my best current offer, very open to more catchy suggestions :)
