A talk exploring where ancient mythologies intersect with emergent technologies like artificial intelligence and game engines.

For the second event in the series, artists and writers Himali Singh Soin and Alex Quicho will present excerpts of interdisciplinary projects that overlay technological poetics and speculative mythologies. Taken together, they speculate on understandings of magic and mythology as powerful technologies in the generative act of imagining new and alternative futures and pasts.

A designed graphic for New Mystics. Symbols such as a wolf, clouds, a snake, a leaf, a pyramid and lips are displayed in a circle on a colourful gradient background of green and blue.
