Symposium in Three Acts

The symposium, happening in the framework of the opening weekend of Superorganism event, observes the creature and the myth of Superorganism, and its many iterations. It questions what the biological term of superorganism means if applied on societal structures, what do its semi-fictious ideas signify for living now and building a future tommorw, which elements of its body benefit everyone, and which are bloosoming in the individual expression. Besides its theme, the symposium discusses different methodologies and formats of Magic Carpets platform by incorporating them within itself, in a mosaic of interactive workshops, performances, discussions, and soundscapes in the format of a play in three acts.
