Science Friction
Sankt Hansgade 26a, kld, Cph N; Fri 18:00; free adm

In a world obsessed with growth, materialism, and resource allocation, we often forget the power that art, in this case, poetry, can have over our actions, opinions, and decisions. This Friday night reading at Science Friction will explore what makes poetry a form of capital – how it influences the world around us and “brings to light the fruitful functioning of language technologies”. Poetry from Canadian-born Corey Murphy will be read alongside other works related to the questions: what do language and poetry afford us in the workplace? And how can we capitalise on poetry to inspire innovation? JG
