Really wonderful to be talking with @harikunzru on the @VirtualFutures conferences and the incredible journeys that began there ...
Novelist @harikunzru recalls his time studying philosophy at @warwickuni during the mid-90s, and his experience of the @VirtualFutures Conferences - the events where he first met #ManuelDeLanda & @ORLANofficial w/ @livingarchitect & @StelarcStelarc. pushkin.fm/episode/when-w…
We’ve refreshed the @VirtualFutures Website making it easier to access the archive of video, audio and visual materials related to our historical conferences, recent salons and fiction events. virtualfutures.co.uk
Just read another article (by Rebekah Sheldon) claiming the ccru were behind the first Virtual Futures conferences - they were not. I was there - gave a talk at the 1994 conference - and my recall is that it was people like John Broadhurst who made these events happen.

If you have time, then please do find an hour to watch this video about where we are going with digital/technologies. I think we need to get beyond the moment, to really think about what we mean by 'future' in terms of our digital lives
