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.

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.

‍

Join us for our first digital event with special guest Mindy Seu presenting A SEXUAL HISTORY OF THE INTERNET; A lecture performance, artist book, and financial experiment. Mindy will present a behind-the-scenes look at her latest project sharing insight on the design process, material research and potentials of publishing and redistribution.
