August is a slow month in the city, so we decided to slow it down with the topic of Slow Tech.
The default of our digital lives tends to have us chasing the latest update: making information more instantaneous, real-time, and bite-size. But that doesn't always work for the type of content many #ArtsTech members engage with--the kind that encourages close looking, close reading, and quiet contemplation.
Slow Tech can be about finding the time to unplug, hard though it may be to go without our Twitter and Tumblr for a day. Or it can be about slowing down to take more time to read that 8,000 word article or watch that 2 hr documentary.
Â
A selection of speakers will present their slow tech philosophies.
Â
HUGE thanks to Ximena and Dylan for their help putting this together!

Schedule:
7:00pm â
