Or Brave New World
The TV tells us this is a time of change, a chance to create a new society.
What will this new society be like?
How can we start to imagine it?
Should we just rush in and try lots of new ideas without really understanding their full impact?
Can we really hope to get agreement about solutions to complex problems when, in many cases, we cannot even agree what the problem is in the first place?
Perhaps this is where art could play an important role, by allowing us to stand back and take time to reflect upon building blocks of a healthy society.
Creating different viewpoints, and stimulating discussion and debate about the current state of society and where it is heading.
As part of this process your brief is to produce a series of audio visual pieces that represent an important aspect of society and wider environment to which we are linked.
