Warm Cloud over the Cool Planet — Workshop

Workshop for critically engaging with material realities behind "the cloud", by turning the planetary resources behind our digital systems something we can see and touch.

In this event, we are committed to Aalto University’s principles for a safer space.

Principles for a safe space

Are you interested in sustainability, critical data/technology studies, and/or art and design? Do you want to imagine an alternative model for the cloud and AI infrastructures that is more communal, playful, and thoughtful?

​If yes, join our collective sculpting + prompt-making workshop at Space 21!

​Together, we will research data infrastructures, trace bodily and ecological experiences related to digital technologies, and generate questions + prompts regarding the cloud. The final outcome will be a "cloud" sculpture we make together with paper and beads.

​No previous design or research experience required.

Workshop facilitated by artist-designer-researchers Lù Chén (https://l-lu-u.github.io) and Heya Kwon (https://heya.world/).
