D&AD Presidents Lecture - Awakening Tech

  • Michelle Fischer
Co-curated series starting with a Lecture in partnership with The Future Laboratory.

The size of the digital universe is doubling every two years. How can we make sense of a world in which it is becoming increasingly difficult to decipher the physical from the virtual?

As technology advances, it is giving us the chance to learn more about what it means to be human. It is making it easier to understand, simplify and use the streams of data flowing from our digitally-connected world.

Awakening Tech, hosted by The Future Laboratory, will seek to uncover the meaning and emotion behind algorithms and deep-learning systems, discussing the key projects that are making waves in the creative world.

Themes of discussion will also include the importance of serendipitous creativity in generative art and the rise of ‘phy-gital’ design.
