Please join us in the Hinterhaus for a conversation around the effects of advanced robotic technologies on contemporary society and human affective experience. The panel discussion between Anil Bawa-Cavia, Lou Cantor and Sascha Pohflepp will mark the close of Lou Cantor's exhibition, SPIRITUAL REALITY, at Decad; the event will also mark the launch of a corresponding website by Lou Cantor.

Anil Bawa-Cavia is a computer scientist and theorist with a background in machine learning. He runs a speculative software studio, STD-IO. His practice engages with algorithms, protocols, encodings, and other software artefacts.

Lou Cantor is a Berlin-based artist collective founded in 2011. Their work is primarily concerned with intersubjectivity and contemporary means and patterns of communication. Lou Cantor's exhibition SPIRITUAL REALITY is currently installed in Decad's storefront gallery space.

Sascha Pohflepp is an artist and researcher whose interest extends across both historical aspects and visions of the future. His practice often involves collaboration with other artists and researchers, creating work on subjects ranging from synthetic biology and artificial intelligence to geopolitics and space exploration.
