INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
 

Narratives of a Near Future

 

Thursday 14 December 2017
Friday 15 December 2017


New Campus HEAD
Building H, Le Cube
Avenue de Châtelaine 5
1203 Genève

 

 

 

For its 10th anniversary, HEAD – Genève is hosting the International Conference Narratives of a Near Future  which addresses the challenges that the next generation will have to meet by crossing, in an innovative way, viewpoints of artists, designers and scholars.

 

Conceived as a real forum, Narratives of a Near Future  features talks, screenings, performances and exhibition spaces in the New campus buildings. How do artists, designers and scholars see the future? Arguing for a transdisciplinary approach, the programme of Narratives of a Near Future revolves around four central themes.

Rewind Forward examines our relationship with the past, the present and the future from a methodological and ontological point of view.
Inhabit the Anthropocene explores the current and future relations between human and their environment, the challenges posed by the saving of natural resources, migratory movements and changes in technology.
Decoding/Recoding focuses on the future changes in the economy, knowledge and forms of both intelligence and control related to the widespread digitization.
Collective Super Egos tackles body issues: its hybridisations with technologies, its representations and its more and more fluid identities.
