This event is presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and Sydney Writers' Festival. Jane, and technology journalist Ariel Bogle will join Odell for a discussion on what we can do to resist the profit-driven tech landscape. In her book, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, Jenny Odell argues that reconnecting with our body and physical environment may be our most important form of resistance from society’s preoccupation with productivity, and the invasion of the internet and social media on our time.įollowing a solo talk by Jenny Odell, AI expert Toby Walsh, ethical tech design researcher Emma A.

What choices, what futures, might become possible, she asks, if we allowed ourselves to slip free of the grip of linear, predictable chronos time and be swept into dynamic, interruptive kairos time? In this conversation with Jenny Odell, artist and author of Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock, she describes the social and cultural ideas that underpin our sense of standardized, mechanized time, which has laid an abstract grid over the living world. How we experience time is, ultimately, how we experience our lives. Our podcast features exclusive interviews, narrated essays, stories and more. As we experience the desecration of our lands and waters, the extinguishing of species, and a loss of sacred connection to the Earth, we look to emerging stories.
