Liminal Talks: ★ Rachel Uwa - School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe - by Modulab @POINT

de Veioza Arte  |  10 noiembrie, 2017

School of Machines, Making & Make-Believe was founded by Rachel Uwa. Rachel is an artist, educator, and organiser whose background is in audio engineering and vfx compositing. Over the past 15+ years she’s lived in and organized social justice and tech communities and events big and small. She feels compelled to help bring these two worlds together and make the tech world less daunting and more diverse, inclusive, thoughtful, and fun. Rachel’s biggest desire is to see people living the lives they dream of living rather than the one they feel they ought to. If that dream life is more artistic, creative, socially-engaged, technology-embracing and connects humans to each other and to themselves, well, all the better.
Liminal is a Bucharest-based festival and year-round project of ideas and experiences to inspire and engage people to evaluate the role and impact of new technologies over their lives.
This year’s theme is The Good Life and in this edition we investigate, across three main events, an exhibition, a night of talks and a hackathon, how technology is reconfiguring our ideas about what it means to be human, live well and do good.
Liminal is a project created by Modulab.
What vision of the good life compels us and how can we commit to it for a better future? One of the questions the panel of six local and international thinkers working across art, science and technology answered at Liminal Talks. Also, the launch of our gorgeous publication took place, MINDCRAFT Stories, a one of a kind exhibition catalogue and a printed preamble of MINDCRAFT Stories online platform which is about to set off later this year. 
MINDCRAFT Stories is a special project by Modulab in partnership with BRD Groupe Societe Generale which aims to spotlight important scientific and technological phenomena in our culture.
