Time travel is basically about the way you look at things...
This talk was given in November 02012 as part of the City of Melbourne's arts initiative Going Nowhere.
It was a pleasure to be part of a great program [pdf] with the likes of climate scientist David Karoly, Greens Councillor Cathy Oke, arts prof Mick Douglas, and the brilliant musician Matt Wicking. This was my first attempt at the Pecha Kucha format (20 slides, 20 seconds each) and I really enjoyed the experience. Thanks to all the organisers, particularly Pecha Kucha Melbourne hosts Michelle James and Ammon Beyerle (with whom I collaborated on the CAPITheticAL project recently described here).
If you like the talk above, you might also enjoy this roughly PK-length excerpt from a longer presentation -- "Guerrilla Futures 101: Strategic Foresight meets Tactical Media"-- given at the Extreme Futurist Fest in Los Angeles in December 02011. It sets out an argument for engaging futures experientially. And a fuller exploration of that line of thought can be found in a lecture given at UC Berkeley earlier that year, "How to Build a World".

I can see how time travel is how you look at things, as your perspective can determine the course you take in life....being able to see multiple perspectives is then like having a tardis or two. However, I'm curious about your thoughts on the speed & fragmentation of information. Does this force us to just react? Is it denying us considered thought, understanding & depth?
