About the seminar
Join us for a virtual drink with Burkhard Schafer and Bronwen Deacon, who will talk about the “2024 - Utopias for a digital society” project at the HIIG and Burkhard’s contribution to it. "Digital Pharaohs” is a attempt to turn some of our academic research at SCRIPT and Creative Informatics into a theatre play. It uses the prism of immigration, climate change and remembrance to ask a number of questions: How can digital technologies help us to remember the past? Who will control our memories? What do digital legacies mean for the intergenerational contract and intergenerational equity? And how can the law help or hinder this process?
