Digital Memory Archival Workshop
22.03.2025
SUPeR bookstore
In light of recent increasing tech-fascism and in turn, a growing desire to leave Big Tech platforms, this workshop invites participants to archive their online digital footprints physically.
Many of us have emotional attachments to our digital selves. This workshop functions as a process for participants to acknowledge and archive some of their online digital selves, past and present, which they may have complex, nostalgic, or sentimental attachments to. It is our hope that this process may facilitate a move away from using Big Tech’s infrastructure for archiving our thoughts and memories. As a step in this direction, we will be selecting and transforming digitally saved pieces of our life into physical pieces of art.
Participants will print out images/text/data from their social media and create a physical artifact that they can take home with them using materials such as paper, cloth, glitter, glue, stickers, whatever else they might want to use. The workshop will allow room for creativity in materials and process. Where social media could be understood as IG, FB, Twitter/X, etc. but also more broadly speaking, old Tumblr accounts, Pinterest boards, ask.fm, etc. etc., (basically, whatever you want to archive and play with physically).
Address: Blågårdsgade 31C, 2200 Copenhagen

CURSOR PLAYjam
24.11.2024
Ungdommens Demokratihus
Our play jam is an invitation to dive into play in all its forms—digital and analog, experimental, and interactive. Beyond just making games, this is a space to explore and create playful experiences, from toys and media to inventive programming and hands-on playthings. The guidance of mentors will be on hand to spark ideas and offer support as you experiment and create.
This event is part of CURSOR06: PLAY, inviting everyone to rethink what play can mean. Join us and discover new ways to play! You don’t have to be there at 9am sharp, and you’re equally welcome to come to the later part of the event to see other people showcase their work! Showcase starts at 19.30.
The Basics:
- This is an open space to experiment with any technology or media of your choice
- Make WHATEVER you want: an interactive story about the 1000th time you said “Nej
Tak!” to the cashier? A board game about the future of air-fryers? A toy made out of
scraps from your latest passion project. You tell us.
- No idea what to make? We’ll have a brainstorming and matchmaking session you
can join, so you can definitely come without knowing what to do.
- Get inspired by the newest issue of CURSOR on play and incorporate it into your
project if you want
- Make something you can finish in a day or just start a new project you’ll come back to
later
- Work alone or meet new playmates to share your niche with or to travel into their
niche
- Discover new tools to make games and get mentoring if you wish
Dates & time: Sunday 24 november, 9-22 (full day/late start welcome)
Address: Ungdommens Demokratihus, Kødbyen, Copenhagen
