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.

SOFTER’s Creative Director, Christie will be participating in a panel at the upcoming Sickhouse Warming event.

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.
