Virtual Futures Information

Virtual Futures is an events series that continues the work of the original cyber culture conferences that were held at the University of Warwick in the mid-90s. The Virtual Futures Conferences (1994, 1995 & 1996) saw groups of renegade philosophers lock horns with the future based on the provocations of evidence provided by the emergence of the Internet. Their predictions were wild, exerted creative licence and were unfaithful to every academic discipline. Soon these events evolved into a unique, international gathering where the morphing of cultural space was accelerated by the head-on collision of science, theory, music, fiction, and multimedia. Today we continue to connect audiences with one of the most important intellectual and cultural developments of our times – the technological extension of the human condition.
