Intersections in Sustainability: New Avenues Through Art and Technology
THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT
In a world which is running out of resources, find out how the technological world is being re-imagined and recycled. Meet the artists and innovators who are pushing the paradigm of ‘sustainability’ in their products and creations.
Hear from entrepreneurs breaking common perceptions by resurrecting old materials to create dynamic new uses, functions, and possibilities.
Topics our speakers will address include:
• The culture of the disposable and its effect on creativity and new media
• how software, hardware and creative thinking are benefiting our community – from local to global
• creative applications of eco-media projects, particularly in terms of ‘social telephony’
• the notion of artists as instigators of social and cultural change
