/// Paradigm Shift _ Forum @ACT on May 24 and 25 

Mapping _ Digital Shifts is proud to present the first edition of the Paradigm Shift _ Forum, which will be held at ACT (Le Commun, 28 rue des Bains) on May 24 and 25, 2017. This new international forum, supported by the Federal Office of Culture, will gather over two days inspiring artists, designers, curators, journalists, decision makers and researchers to critically reflect, raise questions and discuss the state of culture and society in today’s technology-driven world.

With this year’s theme: Technology Now, Society Tomorrow, and the Religion for a Brave New World, the forum takes a stand and explores the complex relationship of human-machine interaction, and the ways in which technology and the Internet are transforming culture. Through a series of talks, presentations, discussions, screenings and interactive sessions, the forum also considers what it means to be human in an age where technology is becoming an all-powerful tool that controls our minute-by-minute existence and shapes our bodies, brains, identities and even our sexuality.

// DAY 1: THE FUTURE UNFOLDING >> Wednesday, May 24, 9:30 am to 7:15 pm
// DAY 2: BECOMING HUMAN >> Thursday, May 25, 10:30 am to 7:30 pm

Free entrance - registration required via the dedicated form.
