A toolkit for making change in the cultural field
“The four themes of control, refusal, trust and care emerged from Transformer Summit in 2021 – an international series of online conversations, interventions and in-person workshops that examined how art can explore the social, cultural, economic, and political benefits of digital transformation. Between 23-26 September 2021, the Transformer Summit explored how we can use art and technology to investigate control and surveillance, refuse previous systems of power, build trust and act with care and accountability, develop intersectional, inclusive, and ethical practices of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and imagine a more inclusive and equitable future with digital technology. It consisted of Transformer Sessions -online panels with interventions, and workshops and discussions at Waag Futurelab.”
