Join us on a journey through the worlds and narratives that straddle the increasingly blurry line between fact and fiction – the Stranger Than Fiction worlds that we all inhabit every day. The event will bring together writers, visual storytellers from film and vfx, and software designers to talk about the agency we have as architects and designers to speculate on and design the stories of our time.
