Your Brain on 2011: Technology and Human Evolution

Our world has become a symphony of rings, pings, buzzes, and tweets; a pastiche of images and stimuli. We're able to connect further and faster. But with all this technology, how have we changed? Are we being rewired for better or worse? Are our second lives affecting our first? And what do we think of crowd-think?

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
