"This Moment Used To Be The Future": The Long Now Lecture Series at retroTECH In-Person

Come to retroTECH at the GT Library for a group viewing of one of the Long Now Foundation’s Lecture series and enjoy the conversation it sparks. We’ll dip into the archive at longnow.org and find a talk that connects with retroTECH’s research concern -- how our lives shape technology, and are shaped by it, over time – and follow that with an open discussion guided by a Georgia Tech librarian, archivist, or faculty member. This month's video is "This Moment Used To Be The Future." Interdisciplinary artist Alicia Eggert gave this talk in 2022, discussing her creative practice and the existential pursuit to understand the linear and finite nature of human life.

 

retroTECH’s Long Now Lecture Series is part of our charge to create the future by exploring and preserving our technological pasts.
