강연 제목: Technologies of the Soul
강연 내용: We will screen a film for an hour followed by a Q&A session. The synopsis of the film is as follows:
We have become entangled with technology than ever before and as we are more connected to our devices, the distinctions between work and home, between leisure and labor, and between focus and distraction, are progressively blurring.
How should we respond to this crisis and from where might we find the wisdom to regulate ourselves from the onslaught of digital creep?
One source of wisdom is to be found with the ancient faith traditions that emerged from Asia.
This film engages the practices and habits of community leaders and practitioners of Singapore’s major faith groups, in one of the world’s most advanced technological ‘smart nations.’
Technologies of the Soul shows us how our ancient traditions have adapted rituals, sacrifices, prayers, and sabbaticals, to create space outside of time to maintain peace and serenity.
