Join us in the Cinema, tucked under the roof at the very top of the venue — a quiet spot with comfy couches and room for big ideas. Up here, nestled within the architecture of our conference location, we’ll once again host the CPDP Culture Club: a temporary sanctuary to pause and immerse yourself in art, books, films, talks, and coffee — all thoughtfully woven into the main programme.

The Culture Club offers 18 curated slots for talks, keynotes, screenings, live radio via Avatar.fm, and, when possible, exhibitions — all programmed by the artistic team of Privacy Salon. In our programme, among other exciting sessions, we will explore artistic encounters with human–AI relationships (with Project Sentiment) and reclaiming digital agency (with CODE IMPAKT), alongside the new short film ‘Like Moths to Light’ by Gala Hernandez Lopez tracing the extraction of dreams and a short film programme on the weaponisation of technology featuring works by Anna Engelhardt, Mark Cinkevich, Lesia Vasylchenko, and Forensic Architecture.
