Who Are the Ambience Factory? Neoliberalism and the Commoditisation of Anxiety

Artists Sophie Huckfield and Sophie Bullock are currently working with the Contemporary Philosophy of Technology Research group to create a new art work which explores our emotional relationship to technology and the commodification of anxiety.

We invite you to join us for an artist led seminar, exploring the tropes and ideologies behind Neoliberalism. The seminar will be a space for an open dialogue, alongside work on creative activities in which we will explore ideas around labour practices, accelerationism, exhaustion, anxiety, mindfulness and the implementation of technology as a 'quick fix' to our emotional state.

Event organised by CPTRG, Sophie Huckfield and Sophie Bullock
