Feel the Future | Lil Internet

"Preparing for a world organised by man-made gods, is nothing less than a metaphysical, if not religious, project." In this experimental lecture, Lil Internet (co-founder of New Models), uncovers the immense impact of AI and social media on society. Lil Internet questions whether our intellectual comprehension of the digital transformation of society is sufficient. Instead, concepts like the fragmentation of the self and the breakdown of linear time, demand to be FELT.

:::FEEL THE FUTURE::: creatively exposes the loss of our embodied thoughts, memories and experiences, as a result of the ever-expanding digital realm. "We forget what being in the world actually feels like. We log on, scale warps. The vastness of the world opens up only to compress down into the single point of the user." We are not simply experiencing a technological shift - the digital transformation of society is a fundamental rewiring of who and what we are. This lecture-performance acts as a much-needed exposition.
