As the relentless heat wave continues to bake the streets of Zurich, we invite you to escape the glare of the city and step into a space where the air is heavy with a different kind of intensity. In the cool, quiet halls of the **Kulturhaus Obere Stube**, a layered world unfolds in which grief is not only felt, but also questioned as experience: as a possible form of knowledge whose recognition cannot be taken for granted. «The Shroud 2026» is not merely a technical showcase; it is a haunting, immersive encounter with Seraina’s fate — a mother’s loss seen through a fractured state in which grief is already distorted by silence, self-doubt, displacement, and the pressure of a world unable to meet it on its own terms. This experience is brought to life through the multi-disciplinary artistry of Alexander Vögeli, a media artist whose work seamlessly spans the physical and digital realms. Serving as the project's architect, Vögeli’s vision encompasses everything from the initial research and concept to the art direction, technical programming, and dramaturgy. Through the delicate interplay of a physical book and a digital veil, you enter a space in which Seraina’s loss is mediated through silence, self-doubt, displacement, and distortion.The atmosphere of this world is further textured by the sound design of Jan Meier, while the voices of Francesca Ruch, Jan Meier, Leon Zahler, and Maya Lewandowski breathe life into the narrative, making the presence of Seraina and the AI mourning companion feel both intimate and unsettling. Additional technical assistance was provided by iffn and Melvin Sprenkels. Together, these contributions craft a space where grief becomes a point of departure for questioning how we, and our technologies, respond to loss, mourning, and experiences that seem to resist easy understanding. **Join us in Stein am Rhein from July 6th to July 12th** to explore this intersection of mixed reality, literature, mourning, and technology. Let’s leave the burning sun behind and enter a world shaped by loss, mourning, technology, recognition, silence, and the fragile conditions of understanding.

**Speakers:** Paulo Martins (GitLab) – **We Tried to Detect Indirect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here’s What Broke** Gianlorenzo Occhipinti (Exa) – **Beyond the Knowledge Cutoff: Agentic Search in Practice** Marius Colacioiu (Norm) - **Your Repo Is the Memory: Durable Context for AI Coding Agents** **Agenda:** 17:30-17:40 – Welcome & intro 17:40 – 18:10: Paulo Martins 18:15 – 18:45: Gianlorenzo Occhipinti 18:45 – 19:15: Marius Colacioiu **Abstract**: **We Tried to Detect Indirect Prompt Injection in Coding Agents. Here’s What Broke** As a community, we are delegating a significant part of our development workflow to agents, and as the use cases grow, the risk of prompt injection keeps increasing - to the point that it made it to the top of the OWASP LLM Top 10. In this talk, I’ll explore the concept of “detect and prevent prompt injection” and why it is particularly hard to do for coding agents. \-\-\- **Beyond the Knowledge Cutoff: Agentic Search in Practice** An LLM is a lossy compression of the internet: the long tail gets blurred, concepts interfere, and anything after the training cutoff simply doesn't exist. The fix isn't a bigger model, it's giving agents the ability to search. This talk walks through the shift from classic retrieve-then-read RAG to agentic search, where the search engine becomes part of the agent's environment and the model learns what, when, and how to query: decomposing questions, parallelizing searches, and chaining multi-hop lookups \-\-\- **Your Repo Is the Memory: Durable Context for AI Coding Agents** AI coding agents are becoming useful fast, but they still do not know the local truth of your codebase. This talk shows how to make repo-local context durable so agents produce work that fits the project and humans can still understand, review, and maintain what gets merged.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
