Who are the care’tech’ers of the future?

Inspired by the current exhibition “Soft Robots” SOFTER invites you to an evening exploring the idea of care for technologies. Care has always been a fundamental part of life. Yet as technologies increasingly shape our everyday experiences, questions of care are often left aside. What will it mean if we care for our technologies? How can softness, intimacy, and connection be embedded into the digital systems and machines we live with? And what does softness look like in our technological futures?

Inspired by the current exhibition “Soft Robots” SOFTER invites you to an evening exploring the idea of care for technologies. Care has always been a fundamental part of life. Yet as technologies increasingly shape our everyday experiences, questions of care are often left aside. What will it mean if we care for our technologies? How can softness, intimacy, and connection be embedded into the digital systems and machines we live with? And what does softness look like in our technological futures?

This evening unfolds as a shared exploration of care as a technological practice. Through listening, speaking, and discussion, we will consider whether learning to tend to our technologies, and to listen more closely to their languages, can become a way of navigating, understanding, and resisting the extractive logics of big tech.Join us at Copenhagen Contemporary for an evening that begins with time to explore the exhibition, followed by artist talks, conversations, and a shared meal.

Digital Care Lab

How does your digital self feel today? ​And who might you become in a softer, more intentional digital future?

How does your digital self feel today? ​And who might you become in a softer, more intentional digital future?

In this workshop, we’ll explore our current relationship with technology, imagine what a desirable digital identity could look like, and create a symbolic avatar to guide that becoming: a seed, a talisman, a small signal from a future you.

Through reflection, guided meditation, and creative making, we’ll rethink how we want to show up online, with more softness, honesty, and care.

Join us for a beginner-friendly TouchDesigner Workshop! Here, you’ll get to explore how to create your own audio-visual projects without writing a single line of code - while still allowing tons of creative possibilities

We’ll walk through the core building blocks called Operators, where we will focus on the ones used to handle images and video (aka TOPs). After the introduction, there is time to experiment and begin your own small project. You’re welcome to bring images or video to play with, but it’s not required. Prior coding experience can be helpful, but it’s not required — just bring your own laptop with TouchDesigner installed (free for non-commercial use).
