SOFTER Softer Digital Futures is a series of gatherings exploring technology and new media from a feminist perspective. The conference is designed to reimagine the way we approach technology and its impact on our world. In contrast to the hard and fast-paced tech conferences that glorify relentless innovation and the promise that tech will save us, Softer Digital Futures is a space of care, thoughtfulness, and empathy. This is the softest tech conference the world has ever seen, where we prioritise the human and environmental aspects of our digital futures.

When I first used Dall-E in January 2021, I input some text, I think it was a resin chair inspired by a cactus (I had Gaetano Pesce on my mind).

A text about reading AI images as infographics.

Our virtual and real lives are almost completely interconnected. Online, offline, virtual, physical & genders—all blend into a hypersoup with one ingredient particularly standing out. AI has furiously entered the chat. Under dominant ideologies, new technology often exploits rather than aids. This workshop invites diverse participants to subvert in a creative way these practices and [...]

Mainstream AI narratives suck. We are stuck with language, visuals and metaphors that force us to think about AI's “transformative potential” and “inevitable adoption”. But is that what we want? At this workshop we will collectively create alternative AI narratives and examine their building blocks. Be warned: this is a creative, hands-on session where we [...]

Creative Pattern Recognition is a hybrid publication that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence and creative practice. It covers a wide range of topics such as the role of AI in art and design, addressing the impact and potential of AI on creative practice. It also highlights the opportunities and challenges presented by AI tools, the evolution of the field, and the potential for AI to enhance human creativity and explore uncharted artistic territories. Furthermore, it explores the ethical considerations surrounding AI, including the impact on creative jobs and the importance of demystifying AI to address societal concerns. Through interviews, reflections and analytical pieces, Creative Pattern Recognition provides a comprehensive, situated overview of the current landscape of AI in creative practice and formulates an answer to the question of why creatives should engage with AI and how to approach it.

Grief-laden vitriol directed at AI fails to help us understand paths to better futures that are neither utopian nor dystopian, but open to radically weird possibilities.

A think tank reorienting planetary computation as a philosophical, technological, and geopolitical force

An urgent intervention rooted in the militant liberation struggles of the most oppressed within the arena of global computational racial capitalism.

Within the last decade a large corpus of work in HCI as well as the commercial design practice has focused on systematically addressing questions of ethics, values and moral considerations embedded in the design of digital technology. Recent critiques have highlighted that these efforts fall short of actual transformative impact. We use the sociological concept of imaginaries to argue that value and ethics work needs to be considered within the larger context of socially shared visions of a desirable future and outline how existing sociotechnical imaginaries pre-frame contexts in which value work is deployed. We demonstrate that imaginaries provide the language and conceptual framework necessary to address underlying ethical worldviews before ethics driven design methods and toolkits can be successfully employed. Finally we suggest how to engage imaginaries to facilitate a broader shift towards a more politically sensitive approach to designerly value work.

In this two part episode, we sit down with Ploipailin Flynn, founding member of AI x Design, a global community and decentralized studio for critical and creative AI research & design. In this conversation, we discuss why understanding how AI systems are built is crucial for creating better outcomes and why measuring the outcomes of AI in communities and tracking deployed models is essential. Ploi shares her expertise on how designing user interfaces for different stakeholders can facilitate feedback, uphold data rights and why involving outside organizations can help evaluate the fairness of AI systems, while also creating defensible positions on company's responsibility with AI.
