Paleofuturism is the study of past thinking about possible futures. How did thinkers in the past imagine the technologies, lifestyles and ideas of the future? How do these outmoded ideas affect and shape the present? Join our speakers to discuss art, literature, theory, history and philosophy, taking stock of new critical histories and theories of technology, modernity and media archaeologies.
