Emergent Behavior

September 14

What do we retain about our humanity through cultural shifts that leave us accelerated far beyond what our ancestors dreamed of? Emergent Behavior is a program of multimedia time-based works celebrating technology as a steward for vivid sensory experience; mechanization in harmony with the delight of subjective human perception.
