                "description": "Based out of the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology at Concordia University, we place emphasis on fostering science and technology studies, focus on ecology and environment, are interested in scale and networks, and have a commitment to futurity and imagination as being critical to design, art, and scholarship. This cluster of artists, designers and scholars presents a rare opportunity to develop the systemic study and creation of emerging technologies with a focus on social justice, difference, and imagination. We engage with multiple technical ecologies, from bio-media to urban planning, in order to foster creative ways to think about the future of the planetary scale transformations currently occurring as a result of human action and technical developments."
