Last 2018 - Emily Bright - Bog

"Almost anything that we create can become monstrous. One hopes for the best, but never knows just how it might play out. The story of humankind is partially a history of the twists and turns posited by technological innovation. The complex relationship between intention and context sometimes converge in mysterious and unpredictable ways resulting in new creative strategies, machines, social architectures, designs and creative expression." (Joel Slayton) This catalog accompanies the 2018 Last exhibition at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The exhibition features work that explores the complex challenges represented by the intersection of science, technology, and society.
