If, as Timothy Bewes writes, “Anxiety is so prevalent in late capitalist society that it has become a defining quality of that society,” then the post-digital situation is one in which everyone is anxious “to do something” and yet is overwhelmed by excessive flows of information and possible choices.

Join this Panic Room discussion for a conversation about how artistic, activist and research projects in these fields contribute to transforming the anxieties of late capitalism into knowledge and civic organization.
