What will the future hold for humanity as technology becomes increasingly central to our lives, relationships, and environment? How do we proceed with careful attention to the effects that technology has on our daily lives?

Join the Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics as we launch the Humane Technology Tarot Deck, a project that combines years of research and community-centered conversations with meaningful, artistic interpretations of the critical interventions we need to consider collectively.

Designed by the Lincoln Center team in collaboration with artist Neil Smith, our custom tarot mini-deck cards are a provocation and invitation to understand more deeply our relationship(s) with technology and digital culture.
