Team Human: with Douglas Rushkoff and guests

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Come join Douglas Rushkoff's Team Human podcast in its first live broadcast event, with guests including Howard Rheingold  and Annalee Newitz (Friday), Erik Davis, Lauren McCarthy, and Josette Melchor (Saturday) in no-holds-barred discussions with Rushkoff about what it means to be human in a digital age. This is a live broadcast event. Late guests will be ushered to their seats when the program permits. 

Autonomous technologies, runaway markets and weaponized media seem to have overturned civil society, paralyzing our ability to think constructively, connect meaningfully, or act purposefully. Being human is a team sport, and Douglas Rushkoff's Team Human podcast and radio show has been the voice of human intervention in the machine.

Join the party, find the others, throw off the yoke of surveillance and manipulation and celebrate the quirky, anomalous behaviors and approaches that make real people so much more than robots, algorithms, or consumer profiles. This is where the conscious beats the automatic - an opportunity to redesign reality on our own terms.

Friday, 6pm - 9pm
Howard Rheingold: amplifying minds and pioneering the netAnnalee Newitz: author of Autonomous, founder if i09

Saturday, 6pm - 9pm
Erik Davis: author of Techgnosis, scholar of esoteric mysticismLauren McCarthy: artist exploring social and interactive systemsJosette Melchor: Founder and Executive Director of Gray Area

Come find out what, if anything, makes people different than machines, and how we can fight back against the stultifying effects of digital capitalism run amok. This is the first live gathering of Team Human, our last, best hope for peeps.
