Digital mirror

Under the name Digital Mirror, Noorderlicht, in collaboration with various partners, creates a public and educational program focused on the impact of technology and visual culture on our society. This program provides space for critical reflection and active engagement with themes such as algorithms and artificial intelligence in visual culture.

Critical exploration and inspiration

Imagine looking into a mirror and not only seeing yourself, but also how technology is changing the world around you, where art and reality merge. Digital Mirror reveals how technology and visual representation are intertwined. Young people, experts, and artists come together to discuss the impact of these developments. This is your chance to think along, ask questions, and contribute to shaping our digital future. Join in and discover how your perspective on technology can change the world!

The mirror in this program symbolizes the complex relationship between ourselves and technology. On one hand, it presents a utopia, an ideal world in which we see ourselves reflected. On the other hand, it is a heterotopia—a real space that confronts us with the fact that we are not truly where we see ourselves. In the same way, we invite you to reflect on our place in the world of art and technology, and the profound connections that bring everything together in this living mirror.
