No matter the time, humans have always sought the answer to a long life. How can we live long? How can we avoid death? How can we adapt to change? And how can we make the world and everything around us last forever with us?
And these questions seem to resonate more loudly in today's world where we have just gone through a serious pandemic, and tomorrow is something that many people look forward to more than ever - because not everyone will have that opportunity. And who would have thought that we would start dreaming of a tomorrow that will last like that for a long time.
The path to take humans to tomorrow and a long life is a variety of possibilities - both familiar things or perhaps things beyond imagination. Whether it's designing more sustainable production processes and economic systems, adapting cities to be self-adjusting, developing medical technology that allows humans to constantly rejuvenate themselves, trying to create a limitless virtual world, or even the idea of leaving the physical body and uploading a mind that will last forever into a computer system.
Awakening Bangkok 2022 takes place during a time when we are still searching, and so we open up a space to create a conversation about this, to inspire humans who are looking for answers about life tomorrow - that can last forever, a tomorrow that is eternal.
