For the second event of our new brunch series, Berlin/Amsterdam based artist Katja Novitskova will guide us through a post-internet Future-telling via animal memes, resurrection biology, and nature/technology mergings. Expanding on her interest in the relationships between the nature of contemporary visual forms as they are disseminated online and their ancient socio-material origins, Katja will enter conversation with Toronto based science fiction writer, Karl Schroeder whose recent writing searches for evidence of a future in which artificial and natural systems are indistinguishable.

Karl Schroeder is a science fiction and fantasy author who conducts workshops and speaks on the future impact of science and technology on society.
