2023 THEME: RE-ENGINEERING HUMANITY

 

The 2023 theme of Re-Engineering Humanity has been selected which will enable our community to produce and share knowledge. The quick advances in technology has changed who we have become as humans and as a society. We are being forced to reassess who we are and what it means to be human in today’s world. The way we work, live and learn have all changed rapidly, almost overnight. 

The explosion of change has impacted all areas of our lives and has forced us to relook at ourselves and how we exist. Innovations across a multitude of disciplines are exploding bringing with it advancement and changes for society.

Are we becoming exhausted from being “plugged in” 24/7? How are we coping and what mechanisms have we developed to exist in our changing society and co-exist with technology?

How have our ideas, behaviours, mentality, social conditioning changed to adapt to the world changing around us?
