I Now Pronounce You Human and MachineThree Reflections on Humanity, Our Technology, and the Stories We TellWednesday, June 10 · 6:00-8:30pmScientists Steve Smith and Stephen Guerin, sci-fi novelist Steve Gould and renowned game designer Chris Crawford ponder what does the future hold for humans and the technologies we depend on? While they may not follow David Levy's predictions of human and robot dalliances, they will consider how tools have moved beyond passive participants in human culture to the active role played by today's computers and, yes, tomorrow's robots. Along the way, they'll consider the human penchant for story telling and what answers our stories may hold for this question. Space is limited so click here to reserve your seat now.

Come Visit UsSanta Fe Complex is located in the Railyard Art District within walking distance of the hotels, restaurants and shops at the plaza downtown. We're housed in two facilities, the project space at 624 Agua Fria and the common space at 632 Agua Fria.
While there is parking at 624 Agua Fria, the Romero Street parking lot is more conveniently located for the 632 facility. Romero St. is an old-style Santa Fe ox-cart road just east of the 624 driveway. Follow it south from Agua Fria St. until it opens up to two lanes; turn hard right into the parking lot for 632. Or, enter from Manhattan St. & Romero St. to the south. Here's a map to our location, a representative shot showing the Railyard District and a sketchup drawing of the facility at 632. For more information, call 505/216.7562 or click here. |
Take the Railrunner to the Complex | Leave downtown Abq at 4:15 on the #514 and you'll be at the Santa Fe Depot by 5:46. Walk west, past the REI building, to the Complex for our evening events. (The Railrunner stops at three other spots in the Abq area en route to Santa Fe. For details, click here.) Return on the #519 at 8:15, arriving in downtown ABQ at 9:42, or the #521 heads south at 9:30 to arrive at 10:57. |
