It's already our final Talk of the Town! event. We can't believe how quickly it has come around.

To sign up for this event you must email london@arcadia.edu because spaces are limited.

Laurence Scott - The four dimensional human

Arcadia Lecturer Dr. Laurence Scott will be in conversation about his forthcoming book, The Four-Dimensional Human. In the book, Scott argues that we are increasingly coaxed from the third-dimensional containment of our pre-digital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information and global connection.

Our portals to this new world have been wedged open, and the silhouette of a figure is slowly taking shape. But what does it feel like to be four-dimensional? How do digital technologies influence the rhythms of our thoughts, the style and tilt of our consciousness? What new experiences are emerging with our exposure to the delights, sorrows and anxieties of networked life? And how do we live in public, with these recoded private lives?

Tackling ideas of time, space, friendship, commerce, pursuit, and escape, The Four-Dimensional Human is a highly original portrait of life in a digital landscape.

All of us at Arcadia are very proud of Laurence's achievement and we're sure you're just as excited as we are to learn more about Laurence's book!
