Emerge, Festival of the Futures: Frankenstein

The School for the Future of Innovation in Society (SFIS) is a transdisciplinary unit at the vanguard of ASU’s commitment to linking innovation to public value. We are pursuing a vision of responsible innovation that anticipates challenges and opportunities, integrates diverse knowledge and perspectives, and engages broad audiences. By examining the ways we translate imagination into innovation — and how we blend technical and social concerns along the way — we learn to build a future for everyone.

EMERGE is an art, science and technology festival devoted to the creative exploration of our possible futures. The 2017 theme of Frankenstein focuses on the risks and responsibilities of innovation. Through multimedia artworks, scientific demonstrations and performances, EMERGE asks: Can we know what the future holds? Can we create the futures we want? 
Emerge 2017 offers the Valley an imaginative window into the future by inviting visitors to explore a house of wonder filled with speculative technologies, fortune tellers, music and film, and performative experiments that cross boundaries between art and science. Two centuries ago such a house inspired the young Mary Shelley to begin the iconic tale of Frankenstein—what futures do today’s science and technology prompt us to imagine?
Emerge will feature provocative performances and interactive exhibitions that draw you into conversation about the desirability and consequences of scientific and technological innovations.
