Science, Living Systems & The Edge of Change: A PopTech Salon
From the cells in our bodies to the social worlds we inhabit, our lives are inundated with complex ‘living’ systems. A new generation of scientists is exploring, mapping, harnessing, and shaping these living systems. Their work has profound implications from conservation to medicine; social networking to environmental cleanup.

Artist, teacher, and cultural activist Christian Nold unravels technology to discover its hidden social and political layers. His Bio Mapping project places the technology of tracking devices into the hands of those being tracked. By capturing a volunteer’s location, moods, and comments, the project creates a better awareness of their community and surroundings and ultimately compiles the information for the world to see on Bio Maps on the Internet. In Christian’s book Mobile Vulgus, he discusses his ideas of mobilizing crowds as physical, political forces and the development of nonlethal crowd control weapons. When considering the purpose of his long-term Bio Mapping project, he says, “I am asking people to think about the political and social implications of this technology and how it could or should be used on a larger scale.”

Every October in our hometown of Camden, Maine, we bring together 600 diverse thinkers and doers from around the world to share ideas and projects that are shaping the future. The PopTech conference, a gathering for “real thinkers” (WIRED), marks your entry into the extensive PopTech community — a mix of highly motivated and curious speakers, PopTech Fellows, and other participants. Whether it’s in the Camden Opera House listening to presenters and performers, at breakout discussions, workshops, randomly assigned lunches, happy hours or parties, you’ll form lasting connections with influencers and individuals working at the forefront of their fields. All while spending several fun days in a place Forbes calls one of “America’s Prettiest Towns.”
So, whether you’re coming to just enjoy the eclectic and original program, make new connections, find potential collaborators, or all of the above, there’s a place for you at PopTech.

The slide says it all... except for his witty next comment that, while technology is doubling these numbers every two years, our brain capacities aren't doubling every two years!
