Artists of the future must find new ways to use technology for social connection and relationship building, said Sydney Festival Director Wesley Enoch in a keynote address at the National Dance Forum last Monday.
‘I argue the future is one in which we get to decide how we use technology to enhance our lives rather than control us. The utopian future is one in which we can plug in and out of the matrix at will; write code for new software for three hours a day and then tend a garden, knit a new scarf and bake a cake for a friend’s birthday,’ he said.
