Theme: "De:spacio"
We are increasingly aware that the acceleration of our lives is exacting a toll on us -- as individuals, as a society, and as a living planet. Exponential technologies of communication, production and consumption have us caught in a whirlwind of exchange without pause nor place - a whirlwind that threatens to unhinge us from all that makes us who we are. We have come to fear that we are communicating without connection, producing without reason, consuming without satiation.
Recent years have witnessed a florescence of movements that push back against this seemingly ineluctable acceleration. The common thread of these movements - Slow Living, Digital Detox, Buy Local - is the focus on deceleration, on slowing down.
De:Spacio is a contribution to these movements of critical resistance, but with an emphasis on the intersections of the temporal with the spatial. For to be successful these movements must help us to foster a new conceptualization of our lives in both time and space. This new conceptualization is, in a word, presence.
De:Spacio is at one level a temporality - it is about slowing down, about being 'present' in the moment. But at another level, De:Spacio is also about realizing the potential of our locality, about nurturing connectedness to our 'presence' in space. To find and hold onto ourselves and each other in this rapidly changing world, we must learn how to remain present - both here and now. For without presence we will lose ourselves, and in so doing, our world.
