A New Dawn: How Fantasy is Reimagining Tech
Description:
Machines are deeply embedded in our lives, altering our interactions while increasingly made to look and act like us. Instead of blaming machines, how can we reevaluate our understanding of ourselves and imagine alternative futures?
Fantasy offers us a way to make sense of this new reality, breaking the fourth wall and embracing tech — not as a means of further disconnecting from the natural world — but to restore, protect, and deepen our connection with it.
This talk explores how we can move from competition to collaboration, treating tech as a PARTNER in our more-than-human world.
