"We once Lived is contact with wild Nature, and in-close human community;connected, embedded. Handing the future to technology, innovation, industrialization, and expansionist growth, human connection is now largely with machines, manufactured projected imagery, and cyber systems, generated from far-away mega-powers. A new kind of alienation, from Nature and from self, has appeared. We are enveloped by manufactured imagery and tech processes: they immerse society and become part of each of us. Does "Nature" exist anymore? Are we happy now?"(Event program) http://ifg.org/v2/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ifg_program_FINAL-2.pdf
