38CC tech salon

On november 18th we hosted a salon at Expositieruimte 38CC in Delft. This event was a unique opportunity to explore how our fears and hopes shape our relationship with technology.

It was a night of multiple perspectives and sparking new conversations about the role of technology in our lives. Our guests were immersed in a curated journey of exploration and dialogue. Visitors took on the roles of tech skeptics or tech optimists in an interactive debate, creating campaign posters and engaging in a lively presidential debate. Together, we examined how fear fuels contrasting approaches to technology versus blind enthusiasm.
