Smarter Digital Realities Residency
Smarter Digital Realities offers select participants from four Asian cities - Bangalore, Dhaka, Mumbai and Pune - the opportunity to reflect on digital change from an artistic perspective. The project is conceived and conceptualised by Sandbox Collective in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan and curated by Padmini Ray Murray.
Digitalisation has found its way into every household and every business. It's no longer just mobile phones and tablets, it's now about artificial intelligence, smart homes, blended learning, online libraries, etc. How does this development change our cities, our apartments, how does it change our communication and consumer behaviour?
Participants are encouraged to imagine the city and its imbrications with the digital under the rubric of five different themes: sex, desire and the city; design and the city; work and the city; technology and the city; ecology and the city.
Guest speakers:
Abhishek Sekharan & Ambika Tandon on Labour and the City
Nadika Nadja on Desire and the city
Rubaiya Nasrin on Design and the City
Sarover Zaidi on Design, Desire and the City
