Chaired by artist and theorist Hito Steyerl, this three-day event brings together leading theorists, academics, social thinkers and artists to discuss postdigital anxieties and the social condition.

Participants include: Hito Steyerl (Chair), Karen Archey, Erika Balsom, !Mediengruppe Bitnik, Helen Hester, Olia Lialina, Yuri Pattison, Laura Poitras (via satellite), Tony Prescott, Oleksiy Radynski, Eleanor Saitta, Ashkan Sepahvand, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi, McKenzie Wark and a screening of work by Harun Farocki.

Using the year 2015 as a lens through which to view the early 21st century, Fear of Missing Out captures current debate and forecasts future possibilities for action and change, while acknowledging the complexities of historicising the present at the expense of the future.

Examining the progression and trajectory of technological, ecological and cultural advances, speakers from diverse disciplines will present on topics from Artificial Intelligence to the Anthropocene.

To coincide with this event, the ICA and BRITDOC present the 9/11 Trilogy and selected shorts by acclaimed filmmaker, journalist and artist Laura Poitras 27-30 May 2015. Poitras will be in conversation with Hito Steyerl on 30 May.

29-31 May
