For the second consecutive year, Thrival Festival and Carnegie Museum of Art will collaborate on a unique, immersive experience that explores a simple yet complex question:

“What makes us human?”

Thrival, in partnership with Third Thursday, will work with a wide range of artists and innovators to present curated technology demos, art presentations and exhibits, and interactive activities throughout Carnegie Museum of Art.

John Battelle, WIRED co-founder and CEO of NewCo, will moderate fireside discussions with tech and culture leaders in the historic Carnegie Music Hall — as we look beyond horizon lines and see around corners in an era of pronounced change and disruption.

$15 general admission (pass included with LIFE.CODE Summit pass or group ticket bundle)
