Equilibrium: The Human Mash Up October 17, 2008

Equilibrium: The Human Mashup
Momentum + Maintenance + Multiplicity + Mobility
Working Artists Network + Software Association of Oregon introduce Equilibrium: The Human Mash Up. Utilizing one of the newest adaptive reused spaces on the SE PDX waterfront - Olympic Mills Commerce Center - the event will supplement the rdEVOLUTION exhibit currently on display.

Art and technology are two words that for many represent vastly different worlds, and for generations have largely existed along parallel, yet non-convergent lines. But now the potential for unprecedented collaboration is here. Ever-evolving technologies allow us to share ideas across borders, both geographic and symbolic. Such potential for shared ideas has helped break down long standing silos that for generations inhibited expansive thought and human progression.

The lines are now blurred. Creators of all sorts now have public space to mutually ponder where we've been, where we are, and where we're going. By sharing once segregated perspectives, we can see the world through a different lens and evolve as a species like never before.

In the spirit of disruptive ideas and breaking down barriers we ask, "How can art and technology and the synergy of the two address humanity's next evolutionary step?" "What's next?" "What needs to be done, and how can we all work together to reach that end?"

On October 17th, four categories of work that address these questions and collectively speak to the power of human ingenuity will be on display:
Momentum + Maintenance + Multiplicity + Mobility
