Sunday 2nd November – Future Visions

(what comes next?) – the influences of everyday life on our future to come

In the search for a post me-identity, networking is a central element. As we enter the expanded world of Web 2.0 we enter a place of extended self … we create our online identities, our avatars and our multi-selves and we shift the way of “being” that has dominated.

Today many more people engage creatively with text, video, photography, music and film than could ever have been imagined. Telepresence too is evolving through web cams, alongside online gaming environments where people build their own worlds and their own bodies. How will the child of the future look back on the early 21st century in relationship to the history of identity politics? How will the 8 year old of today work and play in 20 years time?

This last day merges the two themes of networked creations and multi-identity creating a future vision debate that we all need time and space to co-conceive.
