Everything but the Silicon: Art, Tech, and Expanded Ecology

For Spike’s 2nd artist talk at at Soho House, Alice Yuan Zhang talked with Spike editor Adina Glickstein about art’s role in adopting a more ecologically attuned – and maybe even life-affirming – approach to technology. From planting seeds to pirate radio; mesh networks to meditation, Zhang explored how “intergenerational technologies” can cultivate more hopeful, resilient, and embodied futures.
