Inspired by the Phillip K Dick short story “The Electric Ant” this year's
CLICK seminar curated with Furtherfield explores how identity and
perceptions of reality have changed in a world where humans, society and
technology have merged in unexpected ways. Who are we, what's real, where
can we expect to go from here, and how can we get there together?

>From future shock to FOMO (fear of missing out), accelerating technological
change has disrupted our perception of ourselves and the world around us.
Pervasive computing, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, drones
and robotics, neural interfaces and implants, 3D printing, nanotechnology,
big data and ever more technologies are redrawing the boundaries of what it
means to be human and what it means to be you.

CLICK Seminar brings together a number of prominent speakers including
scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, activists, business people and others
from the international scene. The aim is to identify fields of intersection
between technology, arts, communication and human existence; to pinpoint
ideas and stimulate discussion.

CLICK Seminar is presented by CLICK Festival in collaboration with
Furtherfield (UK)
