As part of the HTMlles festival, Eastern Bloc in col laboration with Ada X invites you to a day of reflection bringing together discussions and demonstrations around feminist approaches to care, ethica l technology, and digital autonomy.  The day, with its main programmi ng offered in hybrid format, will open with a collective discussion explor ing the connections between the projects being presented and the festival’ s themes. This will be followed by a presentation of Cursors of Care, a project led by artist Tricia Enns, exploring how small creative ges tures can infuse care and meaning into our everyday digital spaces through the creation of personalized pixelated cursors and icons. Following this will be a workshop led by Techtechtech on their project To Weave a Web : the Poetics of Opting Out, featuring artists and researchers Liane Decary-Chen, Marie LeBlanc Flanagan, Sarah Choukah, and Chanel Robin. They will invite us to reflect on ways to divest from tech giants and imagine ethical, sustainable, and community-centered tools.  The day will clo se with an in-person gathering for those who can join us on-site, with the opportunity to build your own mini server in a micro-workshop.
