| The world around the flotilla: There are people on the move, migrating across continents and towards mega-cities. The world is awash in information, although proliferation of technology keeps getting into bubbles and crises depending on the oscillating availability of physical resources and cheap labour needed to produce the necessary hardware. A whole range of syndromes (or abilities) keep appearing, as a result of information overload and attention deficit. The insecurity and turbulence are paired with a continued rise in conservatism and an ever increasing bureaucratisation of life and culture. The security theatre keeps adding new props in its effects-range and performing its brutal, splatter-punk scenes on the streets of major cities. More and more people work from home, either due to their environmental concerns, or astronomically expensive fossil fuels, or because a disfunctional infrastructure (that is either overly crowded or non-functional). The technologies for distributed collaboration and augmented reality are getting better each day. Many people outsource menial tasks to either virtual assistants, crowds or artificial companions. Culture and politics are increasingly dominated by rampant consumerism and capitalism, causing a hollowing out of opportunities for experimentation and alternatives. | The world around the flotilla: There are people on the move, migrating across continents and towards mega-cities.
