SXSW panel on Thursday: Art, technology, and the Voyager Golden Record
Are you at SXSW this week? On Thursday (3/15) at 12:30pm, I'll be on a panel about art and technology titled: "Why are artists vital to tech's future (and ours?)" Moderated by Heather Sparks of ScienceSparksArt, the panel also includes artist Rhonda Holberton and curator Aimee Friberg. I'll be speaking about the Voyager Golden Record as a futurist talisman at the intersection of science, art, and wonder. From the panel description:
In a recent report from Silicon Valley's Institute for the Future, technology is said to be "on an inexorable path toward redefining the human experience." Our lives will soon be entirely networked and analyzed by for-profit interests. Yet artfrom Carl Sagan's Golden Record on the Voyager, to the works of many artists todayoffers a different vision. Join this panel to discuss how artists are vital in steering technologyand therefore humanitytoward a more beneficent and beautiful future.
I hope to see you there!
