The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED) of Harvard University, US, are collaborating on the “Dancing with the Future”, a production that pushes the boundaries of art and science, mixing dance, evolutionary dynamics, and an interactive game designed by Piotr Magnuszewski in cooperation with our team. The performance will be presented during the International Conference on Sustainable Development which will take place during the United Nations General Assembly, on 27 September in New York. During the forum participants will discuss how technologists, scientists, and engineers are contributing to the sustainable development space and the importance of co-design and local ownership, use of standards, ethics, and informed consent, and more.
