Are you donning your wellies and heading to Electric Picnic this year? You’ll find us there!

Join ADAPT at the Human Lab: Art & Science stage at this year’s Electric Picnic Festival in Stradbally, Co. Laois from 2-4 September.

Human Lab is a colourful, bold and brand new art and science hub with an exciting programme that will engage the audience in cutting edge scientific topics though compelling, interactive discussions, workshops and exhibits.

Over the course of the weekend ADAPT will be running:

 

DALL-E vs Dali: Tell us your surreal AI concerns. 

Participants will explore the use of  AI tools like DALL-E – encouraging them to make their own ‘protest posters’ where they design a poster around their AI concerns / hopes.

 

The Glass Room: Misinformation Edition: The Glass Room is a pop-up intervention that provokes people to think about how technology impacts society, and their lives. The exhibition covers various topics including data privacy, big tech, the internet of things, and the most recent edition, misinformation. The exhibition will be available to few all weekend. 

 

ADAPT Misinformation workshop

What is a reliable source of information? How can we deconstruct sources to decipher what we can trust? This workshop will invite participants to discuss the disinformation problem and explore some simple but useful concepts and techniques to help us navigate the digital world in a safer and more productive way.
