An honest, wide-angle conversation about technology, art, and possibility at a moment defined by polarization, climate disruption, and media fatigue. Neither a defense nor a rejection of technology, this panel explores what emerging and immersive media enable when paired with human agency, creativity, and care. Panelists grapple with real harm and real possibility, discussing how storytelling can connect us rather than divide us and help move beyond doom-and-gloom toward inspiration, imagination, and collective repair.
