Panel: Social Impact in Art & Creative Tech : Creating Unity across Borders
We can argue that the greatest social need and impact right now is creating unity across borders fighting negative & inaccurate stereotypes and falsehoods. This discussion will focus on how creative technologists and those that represent them are uniquely positioned inspire and help mobilize others for change. We will explore: Whether art is the catalyst that pushes people to take action or is it actually only the inspiration? How can creative technologists and artists build engagement with disparate communities across borders and here at home?

We will be discussing this topic with Lisa Godwin, Creative Technologist at the New York Times; Kevin Stanton, a Strategist with Spring Studios; Catinca Tabacaru, Owner of Catinca Tabacaru Gallery; Sundar Raman, Director of Creative Engineering, Local Projects; and L’Rai Arthur-Mensah, a project manager with Local Projects.

Panel: Alternative Futures: Challenging the Legacy of Cybernetics
This panel is an extension of the Codes and Modes Symposium, which aims to create an intervention into the uncritical excitement about virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and machine learning to establish a space for conversations about long-term socio-cultural and neurobiological impacts. Presenters will discuss how activists, scientists and artists can develop useful frameworks to explore the complex implications of using these emerging technologies for culture change. The conversation will revolve around three core themes: empathetic engagement & embodiment, algorithms of control & inequity and ethical transglobal alternatives, and feature thought-leaders across academia, social change & the cultural sector grappling with the future of storytelling.
