Can we survive technology? John von Neumann and the future
Sci-fi evening in honour of the Hungarian genius.
Schedule
Science, imagination, genius and humour are packed into one evening. In the spirit of John von Neumann's visionary article, sci-fi writers and students give creative fictive answers to the challenges of information technology, mathematics and nuclear physics and explore our chances of survival in the shadow of ecological crisis, war and pandemic. A round table discussion at the end of the evening focuses on the relationship between von Neumann and science fiction.
Kristály Cultural & Conference Venue
Budapest city’s newest cultural, gastro and community space was born in the heart of the Margaret-island which is located in the completely renovated building of the former mineral water bottler factory. It is a scene for exciting art cult productions (eg. theatre, dance, concert, children activities) for sports fans and people seeking health-conscious life. Kristály is an innovative, cool, informal place where you can build a community and which “connects and recreates people”.
