Information Sickness

15 Jun, 2025, 10.00 AM @ Atelier Gardens

Event language: English

Explore how emerging technologies are quietly but powerfully reshaping society, politics, and the stories we tell. Rather than simply celebrating digital innovation, this talk examines its more unsettling effects—like hyper-profiling, emotional targeting, and the rise of synthetic trust. Ultimately, it invites reflection on how technology may alter behavior and emotion, while risking the infantilization of public debate and the erosion of democratic foundations.
