“Neurolinguistics is the study of the brain's ability to be transformed by language.”
Portal Of Wellness is an inquiry into how AR can serve as a tool to enhance the natural ability language has to transform the brain. Through using an innovative new medium AR. Users are able to experience the gravitas of the language used, through having to interact with the words for the best experience.
Affirmation are the intentional use of words to positively transform ones life. This is a concept that encourages the user to engage with the affirmations and become open to being transformed by the real power these affirmations hold. I’m happy that using AR I can replicate something of the joy of making those intentional steps.
I see this project elevating through the use of AR glasses, further lessening the barriers for experiencing this Portal, this project was made using @adobeaero and requires the use of a phone to experience it.
And I was most definitely inspired by Stargate Atlantis, as a kid I loved how the gate could take them absolutely anywhere💙

DARÈ🧡
Watching the hut take on different forms has been exciting, first as a space you step inside and sit within and now on stage as the setting for an experimental theatre performance.
I created the projected visuals upon entry into the space setting the tone for what was to come.
Big well done to @shumbamaasai @ancestralfutures for bringing an incredible vision to life, @dhona_lumiere behind the stage visuals & lasers, @rachel_jon3s our production manager and the whole team, everyone was wonderful✨

Digital avatars and the metaphysical🦾✨Can we go beyond the material using the material? The principle of coincidentia oppositorum…
“Through the digital, we make new worlds and dare to modify our own. Through the digital, the body “in glitch” finds its genesis. Embracing the glitch is therefore a participatory action that challenges the status quo.” Glitch Feminism manifesto, Legacy Russell

It’s been a little bit since Softer Digital Futures 2026, and we’re still processing everything that happened 💭💗
This year felt extra special, and the feelings are still lingering in our bodies. The SOFTER crowd really is something magical, and we’re so grateful to be surrounded by such talented, sweet and generous people who share so much with one another.
We have so much to share and so much to say, but for now, here are a few amazing photos, reminding us how beautiful and nourishing the weekend was.
We’re so proud of what we’re building together and where this movement is going.
We must also give a shoutout to sponsors and partners who helped make Softer Digital Futures a reality this year! Thank you to @costa.del.stevns @maxonvfx @prosafagforening @claudeai @gliiitch__ @mozillafoundation @darkforestos and of course @tuborgfondet 💕
A big thank you from the SOFTER team, we can’t wait to do it all again in the future!

Next up for our conference line-up, @_oliviaema returns! ❤️🔥🪽✨
Olivia is a London-based creative technologist, digital artist and Associate Lecturer at London College of Fashion (UAL), working at the intersection of generative systems, real-time visuals and cultural memory.
She creates installations, activations and workshops that turn technical processes into a felt experience. Her work spans screens at Outernet London, dancefloors with Ministry of Sound, briefs for Adidas, YouTube and Adobe, and collaborations with the Barbican and Arebyte. Recent projects include Black to the Future, exploring Black British cultural memory through archive and AI, and an interactive floor installation exploring grief through movement, light and ritual.
Olivia is drawn to where technology stops being purely technical and becomes sensory. She teaches Touchdesigner as a tool for translating feeling into form, invested in making tech accessible to people who don’t yet see themselves as technologists.

Join Olivia @_oliviaema and her talk Interactive digital art: Tools for collective feeling and becoming 🌟🖇️
Olivia Ema is a lecturer at University of the Arts London, a digital artist, and founder of a creative technology studio. She shares her observations on how interactive digital art and technology shape the way we perceive space, ourselves, and each other.
Speaking as a Black woman working in creative technology, the talk reflects on how identity and intuition shape the systems and worlds we build. It explores how digital systems, built using interactive software like Touchdesigner, can hold presence, respond to a room, and shift something in people almost without them noticing.
Drawing on Olivia’s projects, including an interactive floor installation reflecting on grief and large-scale installations across London from Outernet to Piccadilly, the session moves through both the technical process and what’s actually driving it underneath.

HXR Fest @hxr.world International Woman’s Day gallery takeover.
It was a pleasure to contribute to the occasion through developing this generative system, complementing an atmosphere celebrating women-led creativity, film and story-telling. As a queer Black woman I took it as an opportunity to celebrate myself too, contributing through a relatively new mode of expression in the form of generative creative technology felt especially significant to me.
Thank you @ayatelzz it was inspiring witnessing you make the day the beautiful occasion that it was🩷💐
