Software for Artists Day (S4AD) is a conference that aims to connect communities of artists, technologists, and activists through talks demonstrating expressive and often contentious relationships with emerging technologies. S4AD is a two-day gathering featuring presentations by Ann Haeyoung, LaTurbo Avedon, Francis Tseng, Caroline Sinders, Dan Taeyoung, Janus Rose, and Eva Papamargariti—individuals responding to technological assimilation and ubiquity in ways that underscore its duality as a tool for repression and space for self-realization. The program will end with a sound performance by Sarah Viviana Valdez. A public soapbox session will allow attendees to ask questions or highlight ongoing projects in order to find collaborators and build community. Collectively, we will seek to co-opt, critique, and disassemble a burgeoning digital colonialism through language, sound, and creative projects.

All presentations and activities will take place on the ground floor of Pioneer Works, which is wheelchair accessible. Bathrooms on the ground floor are wheelchair accessible. Real-time captioning in English will be available throughout the scheduled presentations, not during workshops. Please email info@pioneerworks.org for any questions or concerns regarding accessibility.
