If you're of an age, you were a kid and watched "The Jetsons" and thought, "Wow, that's really what the world's gonna be like in just a few years!" You idiot! It's not like that at all!

You'd have been better off attending The Ammerman Center for the Arts and Technology's Biennial Symposium. Taking place today through Saturday with a variety of exhibitions, presentations of new, commissioned and interdisciplinary works, workshops, concerts and more — THIS is where you go to see what the future looks like.

It's the 16th edition of the symposium, and, exploring the intersections of arts, technology and contemporary culture in unimagined ways, this truly is worth a few hours of your time. Large-scale projection artist Kryzsztof Wodiczko will deliver the keynote address at 9:30 a.m. Friday, and the event's featured exhibition is a video installation from Natalie Bookchin. These just touch the surface. Over 90 scholars, artists, activists and scientists will participate — and none of the presentations overlap. Pick and choose as ye will!
