How does digital technology shape our lives—our care systems, our communication, our democracy? IT:U, Europe’s new university for digital transformation, presents two research-based artistic positions that explore how deeply technology is embedded in the fabric of society.
Caring Robots asks: Can robots care? Should they? In this interactive exhibit, visitors can engage with an AI-based conversational system developed for people with dementia in care homes. The project invites critical reflection on the role, limits, and responsibility of “caring AI.”
Mapping Conspiracies visualizes the spatial dynamics of conspiracy theories, hate speech, and anti-democratic rhetoric on social media. Through interactive maps, visitors can explore how online narratives travel across regions and reveal patterns of influence and connection.
At Meet the Minds we get personal: IT:U opens its space for direct conversations with its researchers. No stage, no slides—just ideas, questions, and people.
The IT:U exhibition highlights how digital transformation is never neutral. It shapes the way we live, think, and connect. We aim to not only observe this transformation—but to co-create it. Critically. Collectively. And in public.
