NATION. GENERATION. GENDER. COMMUNITY.

In our accelerated future into exponentiality, charting our societal course is more important than ever. Inside the echo chambers and filter bubbles, we face an ever increasing polarisation. Disparate beliefs and ideas chipping away at our communities and moral structure. Confusing and chaotic times filled with misinformation and misalignment chipping away at the very fibre of our commonality. These transformative changes require a different kind of due diligence and discourse. A convergence of thoughts and voices in an attempt for alignment. How, as a nation, do we align our policies, technologies, investment and education into a shared future? How can we better listen to those on the margins of generation, power and influence? Addressing the difficult conversations with an eye to change and agency rather than opinion or frustration. As we pull on these threads, we do so as a community. Let’s ensure our collective stride towards progress leaves no one behind.

What will our new reality be? What will it mean to be human? Will we, or do we, want to become more human than human? Join us for a multi-layered dialogue.

Technology is creating tectonic shifts in our culture. Our arts, our music, our stories are slowly being outsourced to new tools – and new possibilities. From the vivid brushstrokes of digital art, to the heart-pounding arenas of interactive entertainment and the immersive narratives of new media; technology’s enigmatic grasp is transcending imagination into tangible realms. Where will we draw the line – or is it even us that draws this line? Computing moved from desktops to our pockets and is now coming for our face. Generative AI is having a profound effect on all things creative. It’s come for our creativity and our knowledge. We’re soon to enter infinite worlds. The convergence of AI and augmentation will having us prompting our own universes. Will we further spiral away from a core of community or embrace these new machines as empathic?
