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.
