From quantum physics to poetry; from neuroscience to geography; from philosophy to immersive realities; from the microcosm to the campus, Building 21 is a space where one can explore, play with, manipulate, bend, break and probe the multi-faceted aspects and dimensions of ideas, knowledge and thinking. Building 21's Radical Futures will attempt to identify and analyze long term patterns, and to perceive not only the forest from the trees, but the shades of the entire continent. The future is an unknown space, an unknown continent of possibilities. Radical Futures is a gathering of explorers for whom shades of the future offer clues to what we are, to who we are, to how and why we are changing. Radical Futures starts from the premise that the future is quantum-like, in the sense that all possibilities exist until they collapse into reality through observations, actions, involvement. www.building21.ca
