Thomas Webb – Facing the Future of Society

During his talks, Webb often highlights, how a lack of understanding of the technology around us leads to an underappreciation of it. By breaking down techniques and theories of technology, Webb highlights in his keynotes the art involved in technological processes, carefully constructed code holding the same potential beauty as a typical piece of art. Webb today continues to champion this thinking through his artwork, using the same techniques to create thought-provoking artwork.

In this keynote for NEXT19 he will talk about the next 5 years of society and how the face filter has changed everything – using real-time data and his theory of art to make the magic happen.
