KEYNOTE: "Regress, Plateau or Evolve"
The next 10 years, depending on who you listen to, will bring rapture, apocalypse, the birth of thousands of autonomous collectives without borders, a cyborg revolution, or more of the same mass marching with slight improvements whenever Apple/Google drops a new toy.
We kick off the 10th annual AMC with a multi-dimensional look at all the potential futures that lay before us. This interactive, performance keynote-event will be a conversation between technologists and organizers, biologists and artists, futurists and percussionists. We will examine what threatens our survival and unearth the specific points where we are most likely to evolve. With the resources of our collective knowledge, we'll begin to plot the types of media required to guarantee self-determined communities in all possible futures.
