Future Tech

In a 2022 Melbourne Fringe performance, artist Vidya Rajan created a Twitter bot to ask questions about sentience, identity and the Artificial Intelligence revolution.  

Vidya’s Lunch Order will consider the future of tech, and what it means to be a human in a post-human world. This event will be livestreamed on this page from 12.30pm on Wednesday 20 March 2024. 

Lunch Orders is generously supported by George and Rosa Morstyn.

Lunch Orders

In 2024, grab a bite with The Wheeler Centre as we serve up Lunch Orders: half-hour conversations that can be livestreamed into any classroom or library, and accessed as a recording from the following week. While you’re nourishing your body, let us feed your mind with this series of fascinating deep dives into the future as our experts respond to our Term 1 Lunch Orders provocation: What does the future hold? Each serving will open with a 10-minute soapbox where our expert will deliver their response. They will then be joined by the Wheeler Centre’s Youth Programming Manager, Bec Kavanagh, who will facilitate a 20-minute Q&A that students can participate in via Slido. Lunch Orders will have you back into the schoolyard with time to spare, with a few extra facts to pack in your lunchbox too.
