SUMMARY:POV: Time To Influence Your Targeted Ads
DESCRIPTION:Are your devices listening to you? This question\, while often 
 dismissed as an urban myth\, has deeply influenced how we perceive and int
 eract with algorithmic systems. The artist uses this ambiguity as a starti
 ng point for a collective experiment in which participants are encouraged 
 to disrupt their phones’ usual flow of suggested content\, rewriting the
 ir algorithmic realities to explore new narratives and potential futures.\
 n\nIn this workshop\, artist and social designer Ginevra Petrozzi invites 
 participants to explore the intersection of magical thinking and surveilla
 nce technologies. She draws inspiration from Italy’s folkloric tradition
 s and heritage\, reviving knowledge that was preserved in secret and passe
 d down clandestinely through generations of women. \n\nCentral to the wor
 kshop is the collaborative creation of a "Perfect Futures" script—an exe
 rcise in crafting counter-narratives that stand in contrast to the prepack
 aged stories curated by our devices. Participants will work with Petrozzi 
 to transform these scripts into a form of digital enchantment\, playfully 
 subverting the predictive logic of algorithms through whispered incantatio
 ns. The workshop will culminate in a collective performance\, where the "P
 erfect Futures" are recited as a “spell” into participants’ devices\
 , mirroring a popular TikTok trend that involves whispering keywords and p
 hrases into an unguarded phone to influence its algorithm.\n\nIn this part
 icipatory experience\, the artist encourages participants to rethink their
  relationship with technology\, experimenting with the idea that language 
 and intention might hold the power to enchant not only the digital sphere 
 but also our collective futures.\n\nRegistrations for this event are close
