Over 3 days we will transform The Harmony in Rødvig, Denmark into a magical & soft utopia of workshops, exhibitions, talks, panels, performances, shared meals and collective imagination.

‍

You will enter a parallel universe where we will imagine and create the futures that we long for. It’s a space for meeting likeminded people, getting inspired by the SOFTER network, learning new skills and asking new questions. Together we explore how a softer approach to technology can create more democratic, caring and creative digital futures.  

‍

This year we are also relocating SOFTER Lab to the conference, softening up the programme, with more time to participate in workshops, to engage with installations, and more time for collective conversations and to connect with each other.  

‍

We can’t wait to welcome you to the beautiful site of The Harmony and enjoy another magical conference with you all!

‍

Speakers, facilitators and open calls to be announced soon.

‍

SOFTER was born from a longing for a community and learning space where we could see ourselves and our values reflected. Our community hosted events encourage volunteer peer-to-peer learning and the soft exchange of knowledge, ideas and skills. 

‍

The tutorial introduces the core components of a computer and walks through the process of selecting compatible parts and assembling the machine step by step.

‍
The build is designed with creatives in mind and supports workflows such as 3D rendering, motion design and video editing.

The full tutorial is available on Softer’s YouTube channel from March 23.

‍

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.

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