Workshop / Talk|Technologies of Life: Embracing the Interconnections between People, Beings, Past, Present, and our Dreams (A Live Workshop)

It seems like today is a time of anxiety and perpetual crisis – one shock after another producing a numbing effect – with an effect of supposedly greater fragmentation and alienation . From the profiteering versus suffering associated with COVID-19 to the false choices offered between neoliberalism and neofascism, we live in a time where it has become easy to assume that conflict, opposition and apathy if not perceived ill will (from others) are here to stay. In-group/Out-group binaries proliferate across media, old and new, and models such as game theory have only increased in their supposed salience to describe choices and behavior.

A huge aspect of the dawn of such thinking can be tied to digital technologies that target us as psychographic and data-bodied *individual* subjects.
this Talk/Workshop paves the way for new sociotechnical utopias that ask us to question what it means to be human and more importantly alive, and whether we can truly develop relationships with one another (humans and non-humans) based on mutuality and the underlying spirit and belief that we are all in this together.
