Dreams in the Age of Technology (Voicecraft Live V)

In much of society the contents of dreaming consciousness are sidelined as a strange or comical irrelevance.

In this accelerating digital age, what role might dreams have to play in the orientation of individual and collective becoming?

Hosted by transformative philosopher Tim Adalin, this is Voicecraft Live: a context for real conversations about matters of profound importance in our time.

PHILOSOPHY

PRESENTS

TOTALISTARIANISM

Where thought comes to life.

Live in Melbourne..

In the underground vault and cocktail lounge at Caz Reitop’s in Collingwood…

Through altered states of conversation, we will open the topic of totalitarianism..

Totalitarianism

The shadow of totalitarian impulse appears thinly veiled across the world today. But what exactly is totalitarianism? How does it show up psychologically, culturally, politically? How do mechanisms of control differ today in comparison to those of twentieth century regimes?

What rights, values, and cultural forms are we called on to emphasise in this time, so that we might defend the potential of a more vital, resilient, and wiser culture?
