How people will communicate with machines (and vice versa) and with one
another through machines.
As technology continues to evolve and innovate at breakneck speeds,
we've seen human behavior upended in a miraculously short span of time.
Not only has our manner of communication changed, but the very notion of
communication and the communicative abilities available to us are
completely different. How people relate to one another professionally,
socially, and artistically are different than even ten years ago, and
will likely be much different thirty years from now. This panel will
examine these ideas from multiple perspectives, including digital art,
policy, social media, human- computer interfaces, and more. A diverse
collection of technologists will speak on the subject, and there will be
demonstrations of gadgets and interfaces from hack collective
NYCResistor and an art installation piece from digital media institute
Harvestworks.
Tickets for this event are $10 and will be available through the 92Y Box
Office and Venmo shortly.
NOTE: Twitter will be the platform of choice for receiving audience
questions. If possible, please come with a Twitter-enabled device and
use the #y30 hashtag for all relevant posts.

Jeremy Pesner (organizer/moderator) is a recent Computer Science
graduate making his way in the world. He is very curious about the
digital landscape and the elements shaping its future. Coming from a
liberal arts background, he has many interests and does not know how to
choose between them. He is involved with educational gaming, Government
2.0, and Cloud Computing research. He is probably interested in your
project.
