\nThrilling Wonder Stories<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

WONDER STORIES 3
\n<\/a>Live in London and New York Oct 28th<\/p>\n

Created by
\nLiam Young [Tomorrows Thoughts Today<\/a>]
\nAnd Geoff Manaugh [BLDGBLOG<\/a>]<\/p>\n

In Association with the Architectural Association<\/a>, Studio-X NYC<\/a>, Popular Science<\/a><\/p>\n

We have always regaled ourselves with speculative stories of a day yet to come. In these polemic visions we furnish the fictional spaces of tomorrow with objects and ideas that at the same time chronicle the contradictions, inconsistencies, flaws and frailties of the everyday. Slipping suggestively between the real and the imagined these narratives offer a distanced view from which to survey the consequences of various social, environmental and technological scenarios.<\/p>\n

Wonder Stories chronicles such tales in a sci fi storytelling jam with musical interludes, live demonstrations and illustrious speakers from the fields of science, art and technology presenting their visions of the near future. Join our ensemble of mad scientists, literary astronauts, design mystics, graphic cowboys, mavericks, visionaries and luminaries for an evening of wondrous possibilities and dark cautionary tales.<\/p>\n

For the first time, Wonder Stories will be simultaneously hosted in London and New York and Popular Science<\/a> will join the Architectural Association <\/a>and Studio X NYC<\/a> in coordinating the event this year. Join us for the third event in the series as we chart a course from science fiction to science fact with talks, a hands on taxidermy workshop, animatronic guests, swarm robotics demonstrations, datascapes walking tour and live movie soundscapes.<\/p>\n

Free to all. OCT 28 1200 \u2013 2200 at the Architectural Association<\/a> London and OCT 28\/29 at Studio-X NYC<\/a><\/p>\n

The event will be streamed live streamed here<\/a> and you can follow the twitter feed <\/a>with #tws3<\/a><\/p>\n
