Futuresonic is taking steps to reduce the environmental impact of the
festival, starting with a pioneering study of the carbon footprint of
the Futuresonic 2007 festival, undertaken in collaboration with the Manchester-based Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and
Creative Concern, and a series of projects which highlight social and
environmental impact of future arts and technologies.
The issues raised by this will be explored under the banner of
ENVIRONMENT 2.0 within the Social Technology Summit , the main
conference strand of the Futuresonic festival.

SOCIAL TECHNOLOGIES SUMMIT http://www.socialtechsummit.org
The main conference strand of the Futuresonic festival, the Social
Technologies Summit, is a major international conference exploring the
creative and social potential and implications of new technologies,
bringing together leading figures to explore "a whole new way of doing
things in the air".
KEY THEMES FOR 2007:
ENVIRONMENT 2.0
In 2007 a focus of the Social Technologies Summit is ENVIRONMENT 2.0, a
new international initiative in which two worlds collide:
o The world is waking up to realities of climate change, long predicted
but until now too easy to ignore.
o The world is in love with smart environments, mobile communication,
pervasive media, wearable computing.
Can these two approaches to environment, each one iconic for our times,
be reconciled?
