Are you “active” or “away” in the real world?
Today, more and more, people are exploring the world through virtual reality and augmented reality.
Is this shift towards digital existence a means to better understanding the world we live in, or is it just escapism? Does data and technology distract us from our true selves, or does it help us understand ourselves and our world more deeply?
Curated by the UTS Big Thinking Forum and the Sydney Festival, this free talk is here to challenge the reasons behind your constant connectedness and what it means for the future.
Speakers include Sydney Festival artistic director Wesley Enoch and multidisciplinary creative Jonnine Standish.
UTS Big Thinking Forum: Analogue Body in a Digital World is on Sunday January 7 at University of Technology Sydney, 7 Broadway, Ultimo. 1.30pm to 2.50pm.
