Description

The way technology both shapes and is shaped by the human creative process will frame the discussions in this seminar. Participants will explore how forms of communication affect the development of language and the evolution of cultural forms. They will also consider how the tools of technology alter in both subtle and radical ways the human construction of meaning. How do we as humans make sense of our lives and understand ourselves and our place in the world thoughtfully engaging with the tools of technology and communication at our disposal today?
