Become terrestrial: From landing in the critical zone

How can an art exhibition invite us to radically question our view of the world? At the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe "Critical Zones.

Spaces of Belonging

How do human emotions work? And how do we interact with the architecture around us? When technology enables the passive space to become an active participant, how can a space bring out our best creativity, productivity, equity, and belonging?

In this talk, Sophie Kleber, Head of Spaces UX at Google, unpacks the art of creating spaces for the human soul.

An experience designer by trade, Sophie Kleber applies her deep understanding of the emotional development of automated assistants and artificial intelligences to her work with voice UIs, sentient computing and Spatial Design to her work as Head of Spaces UX at Google in NYC, where she rethinks the way we interact with physical spaces.
