Event Details
Departing from the East, we are encountering the world.
From the ground up, we are imagining into the future.
​
We are seeking not repetition, but creation.
We believe that the vision of tomorrow is a complex system -narratives demanding interdisciplinary insight.
We believe technology should not be cold; it must pulse with humanity and the warmth of art.
​
On August 17th, beneath the Vauxhall arches in South London, the night venue Fire will host a gathering of visionary doers: leading artists, migration scholars, cross-disciplinary musicians, futurist scientists, and socially engaged art practitioners. They hail from universities, museums, street projects, and cutting-edge labs.
​
That evening, you’ll witness:
-
Frontier academic dialogues set against dazzling lights and visuals
-
Mind-bending cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary conversations
-
Works by top digital artists infused with Eastern philosophical depth
-
You’ll also take part in Qigong practice in the night club, dialogues with “future people,” and co-creative experiments at the intersection of art and technology
-
The pop•futurism DJ/VJ after party covers genres from kpop to experimental
​
<WE, 2046> is a crucible of ideas, a stage for sparks to fly, and the launch of a new platform. We can’t wait to welcome you into Fire and imagine the future together.
