Speaking Your Own Truth

🇭🇺🇬🇧 This workshop will be held in English or Hungarian depending on the requests of the participants.

In this workshop, we analyze how a person's "sense of truth" and general understanding of reality is influenced by deeply mediated relationships with technology - how much of an attitude is part of a person's somatic and psychological identity, and how much is actually an embedded or external technology/cyborg layer. We would invite people to take a social issue or phenomenon, define what their reality (attitude, behaviour, knowledge) of that issue is through introspection, and then dissect how technology has mediated the outside world for them to create that understanding of reality. This would help people reflect on their own truth as an outcome of negotiations between themselves, the technologies they are using and the built constructs that mediate reality towards them.

• Analyse how a general understanding of reality is influenced by deeply mediated relationships with technology.
• Explore how much of an attitude is part of a person's somatic and psychological identity.
• Investigate how much is actually an embedded or external technology/cyborg layer.
