Join us for a workshop to explore the future of personal memory preservation!
About this Event

In an era where digital amnesia, data loss, and AI-generated fake memories are becoming increasingly prevalent, how can we ensure that our personal histories remain intact and authentic? This workshop delves into the challenges and opportunities of designing personal archives for the year 2050.


🎯 Workshop Context: In this speculative future, people are facing multiple threats to their personal histories:

  • Cloud services shutting down without warning
  • AI-generated fake memories infiltrating personal archives
  • Data degradation over time
  • Corporate control over family history

Personal memories have become increasingly fragile digital artifacts. This workshop aims to empower you by designing your own memory-keeping rituals and tools.


⚡️ Why Attend?

  • Empowerment: Gain the tools and knowledge to take control of your digital legacy.
  • Networking: Connect with like-minded individuals and professionals in the fields of design, technology, and futurism.
  • Inspiration: Leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a wealth of ideas to apply in your personal and professional life.


📝 Practical Information

  • Tickets: 2 euros (to cover the cost for materials & snacks)
  • Only limited spots available. Get your ticket today!
