Interactive Talk with Sarah MaskeDigital Sustainability in Everyday Life – Water Consumption, Smartphones & Our Impact

How are our digital habits connected to water consumption?In this interactive talk, we’ll explore the often-overlooked question of how digital technologies – from smartphones and streaming to artificial intelligence – consume natural resources such as water.

Sarah Maske, project lead for impact-driven organisations and sustainability manager, offers an insightful perspective on the ecological footprint of our digital lives. Using practical examples, interactive tools such as a water consumption calculator, and reflective prompts, participants will gain a clearer understanding of their own role – and discover actionable strategies for more sustainable digital practices.

This event offers a dynamic mix of knowledge-sharing, real-life context, and open discussion – ideal for anyone looking to make their digital everyday more resource-conscious.

The talk is part of the exhibition Thirsty Machines: AI on Tap by Prater Digital in cooperation with SOMA Art Berlin.We recommend visiting the exhibition beforehand – it will be open on Wednesday from 2 to 6 p.m.
