Family Open Lab – Ideas for the Future of Democracy

In this format, you can develop your own ideas and visions for a desirable future. What are your demands for the democracy of tomorrow?

Using the laser cutter, you’ll create stencils and spray-paint templates to bring your demands into the real world. A fictional scenario explores democracy and AI applications involving facial recognition. To protect your identity from this surveillance and facial recognition, you can design anti-facial-recognition masks and camouflage them with various patterns.

The mentors will assist you in bringing your ideas to life and show you how the laser cutter works. Helpful learning materials will also be provided to support you.

The drop-in format is open-ended and differs from traditional workshops. We plan for you to spend about 20 minutes in the lab to get your first taste of the technology and this future-oriented topic.

If it gets particularly crowded, it’s possible that not all participants will be able to try out every station. So be flexible and take the opportunity to dive into these exciting topics!
