Improving Reality 2012 Conference September 5, 2012

Improving Reality 2012 is a half day conference which playfully and critically looks at how designers, artists and makers are using various technologies to shift our perceptions of reality.

This day of inspiring talks features comic-book star, Warren Ellis and artists, designers and provocateurs, including Luke Jerram, Anab Jain, Nelly Ben Hayoun, Leila Johnston and Rebekka Kill.

Expect presentations of artworks inspired by science, speculative stories, radical designs, unlikely inventions, and a few surprises.

Following the conference is Brighton SF, a panel discussion with some of the leading names in speculative fiction and science fiction literature including Brian Aldiss and Lauren Beukes.
