​to begin our exploration, we will screen 'serial experiments lain', an anime released in 1998, and pioneered the idea of what it means to be eternally connected to an omnipresent cyber force, and the challenges we face as a society as a result of it.

​disconnect from the wired and come with a sketchbook, pens, pencils, or craft, and if you are feeling academic, a piece of relevant literature.
