DIGITAL EARTH x ASHKAL ALWAN
19-20 APRIL 2019, Beirut, Lebanon
Our first event took place in Beirut on April 2019 where, together with Ashkal Alwan, we organised the Digital Earth Symposium. Looking into the ways digital technologies shape our understanding of time, reconfigure processes of materialisation, and re-design our landscapes, the Digital Earth Symposium speakers examined how technology mediates and regulates our world while attempting to locate human agency in these all-pervasive processes.
