Critical Mass | Social Zombies

Tickets will be on sale soon.

What do you spend more time doing – consuming media, or conversing offline? Warnings from teachers, scientists, governments, doctors, and parents aren’t slowing anyone down. The glow of a screen is too powerful to resist. What do we see and hear there? Who do we listen to? Are there even real people behind influencers’ personas, or are they just a front for bigger players? Their messages bleed through into our speech, our relationships, our votes, our willingness to obey and to believe. Let’s break down the illusory division between digital and “real” life and ask ourselves: how are digital voices influencing our lives?

We start our evening with pizza. Walk in, have a slice and get to know your fellow audience members in an informal setting. 19:30 we will kick off the programme.

Critical Mass – Studium Generale
How does our society work? Why is it the way that it is? Hey – and if we don’t like it, what can we do about it? Critical Mass is Studium Generale’s experimental space at Theater de Veste. We bring in experts to unpick society’s biggest problems. Then it’s over to you. Can you apply what you’ve just learned? Work with other audience members to solve a specially designed challenge. Maybe together, you can change the world.
