Promise: a day of talks, a night of music
ΕισιτηριαPromise fosters unlikely dialogues. We build community by connecting people across art, design, and technology. We metabolise ideas from Athens and beyond.
Tickets to the symposium include entry to the night programme of music and performances. Talks will be held in English.
Day programme
14:00 — 21:00
Every civilisation needed a mechanism to promise itself a future — the I Ching, capital, ideology, and now synthetic intelligence. Each proposes its own certainty, but each is trapped inside the logic of its own system.
This one-day symposium asks what comes after these exhausted mechanisms. Through talks and presentations, the event covers failed futures, entropic systems, and the anomalies that exceed certainty.
Speakers explore the poetic undercurrents of the web, terraforming projects, computational design aesthetics, and the subversion of AI bots.
