Join us for an online Data in Artistic Practice: Errors, Glitches, and Consequences talk on September 10, 2025, at 19:00 Kyiv time / 18:00 CET, featuring a discussion with the collectives RYBN.ORG and Sfera, as well as Ukrainian lawyer and researcher Artem Taranowski.

As digital algorithms grow in complexity, they begin to mimic human behavior—including the capacity for error. The Sfera collective, in developing their latest project, has been exploring the fascinating theme of mistakes and their unexpected consequences. For this event, they've invited their expert mentors from RYBN and Ukrainian lawyer and researcher Artem Taranowski to explore the unexpected outcomes of artistic practices. Together, they'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these creative errors and the ethical considerations that surround them.
