"12 Steps to Healthy Convergence" - Thesis Concept Proposal

12s2Hc-V1sm.jpg

Human life has always been shaped by technology and our passion for a utopian future continues. Yet in recent years technology has infiltrated our daily lives, and influenced our behavior, in ways society has not had time to properly consider. Societal dynamics and interpersonal relationships are changing at such a rapid pace that the casualties of change have begun to emerge.

"12s2Hc" is a live performance piece that will raise the awareness of how technology may or may not enhance our daily lives. An ensemble cast will tell their personal stories including battles with technology addiction, the "turning point event", necessary steps to recovery, and how they currently balance technology use in their own lives.

Ironically, technology will play an important part in this immersive live performance. Interactive media systems will amplify/enhance the performances, embellish story and back-story elements, provide a media-rich experience, and encourage viewer/audience participation.

Avoid the technologically driven societal Armageddon and embrace the "12 Steps to Healthy Convergence!"
