Every day, our lives run on patterns. Some are cultural, some are computational. Together, they shape what we notice, what we choose, even how we imagine the future.
But those patterns aren’t fixed. They learn from us as much as we learn from them. Which raises the question: when machines shape our decisions, how do we keep the human voice — our creativity, our ethics, our empathy — at the core of the loop?
SHAPESHIFT 2026: The Human Algorithm explores hybrid intelligence where soft skills matter as much as software, where human care is built into every design, and where augmentation flows both ways — humans teaching machines, machines provoking humans.
The Human Algorithm is a call to turn technology into a mirror of our best selves — and to design futures that are as humane as they are innovative.
Over three days in Sofia — through exhibitions, talks, workshops, films, and the messy joy of collaboration — we’ll ask how to build systems that don’t just process data but reflect our values. The Human Algorithm is a call to turn technology into a mirror of our best selves, and to design futures that are as humane as they are innovative.
Consider this your invitation — not to watch the future unfold, but to help write it.
