FutureEverything 2011 brings the future into the present through music, art and ideas. Arriving in Manchester in May for its sixteenth year, FutureEverything is the essential place to find out what’s on the horizon in creative new technologies.
The Music strand profiles musical pioneers and ground-breaking talent, with gigs across the city and a festival-long music hub at the Umbro Design Space in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
The Art programme features world premieres and urban interventions, including new work by Me and The Machine, twisted transport courtesy of Agents of Change, creative hacking in our ‘Handmade’ sessions and much more. All FutureEverything 2011 art exhibitions and events are free to attend.
The FutureEverything conference leads our Ideas strand, where visionary speakers explore the interface between technology, society and culture. Among the topics for 2011 we ask what open data means for journalism, why games create new digital ideas, and how participative media is spurring community engagement.
