>FutureEverything 2016: LESS AND MORE
>
>For twenty years, FutureEverything has looked at big questions facing
>society through the lens of art and digital culture. Now in its 21st
>year, the FutureEverything festival brings people together to
>discover, share and experience new ideas for the future.
>
>This year, weıre working to the theme of Less and Moreı, with our
>festival exploring how we can rethink resources within a world that is
>changing exponentially. Whether itıs a change to our antibiotics and
>food, or the worldıs natural resources, the first thing that we look
>for is alternatives. With the carbon economy reaching its peak, we
>need to adapt to changes in climate, and find more tools, and more
>methods as a way of working with the inevitable. This forces a rethink
>on how we can gather, and manage, the resources of Earth to overcome
>the dependencies of the industrial age.
>
>Today weıre pleased to announce more speakers, more projects, and more
>of our live programme including, amongst many others, a landmark data
>visualisation tool to help us predict future wind conditions developed
>with the Met Office and designer Moritz Stefaner, and a world premiere
>from industrial-pop artist Gazelle Twin, Chris Turner and Tash Tung
>(pictured above).
