Workshop Title: Hello World: imagining virtuality
Leader: Sue Thomas
Description:
This practical workshop was developed from research carried out for my book 'Hello World: travels in virtuality' (Raw Nerve, 2004). Participants gathered in a technology-free space to explore what it means to be online, examining our physical interactions with cyberspace and connecting them to the tangible world. ‘Many people mistakenly think of the internet as a destination but, like zen, it is merely a pathway. As the zen masters say, 'Don'€™t ask where the path is. You’re on it.' €™[Philip Toshio Sudo ‘Zen Computer’ New York: Simon and Shuster, 1999] Are we? What is it?
