Featuring talks from Christie Morgan on Softer Digital Futures, Nadia Piet on alternative AI practices and Calum Bowden on collaborative system change. Followed by Workshops that invite collective exploration, concluding with a final reflection.

The process culminated in a collective work, Remarkable Dreamers, a deep-sea universe that exists in the borderland between fact and fiction, between the recognisable and the foreign.

Explore the infinite darkness and meet mysterious and mythical creatures — beings that are normally inaccessible to us humans. We know that we are incompatible by nature; we cannot survive in their world and they cannot survive in ours, and therefore we must attempt to approach each other in this digital no man's land.

‍

In a world with increasingly black-boxed technologies and rapidly growing AI models, cyberdecks feel like a safe haven, a breath of fresh air, devices that give us hope for brighter tech futures built on playfulness, participation and decentralisation.

We'll start with a conversation. What is a body state? What are you already transmitting without knowing it?

‍

From there, we move into TouchDesigner and MediaPipe, using real-time body tracking to turn movement into data, signal, and image. Then we open Ableton and give that signal a voice. We’ll play together, experiment, and explore how movement can shape sound.

‍

All you need is an open mind, a laptop, and headphones. Both tools are free to download, and you'll leave with a ready-to-use template to keep exploring.

‍

This is a door cracked open. A first step into a new language, one your body already speaks.

In collaboration with Ableton.
