It will take place at the Nordic House; surrounded by a swamp, where life emerged from some 400 million years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Homo Sapiens have existed for less than 0.007% of the planet\u2019s existence &#8211; long enough to have altered the fossil record forever &#8211; but we behave like we have infinite resources. We know what we do cannot sustain us forever \u2013 yet we persist: innovating, designing, producing and destroying. We never stop to ask: what if one day we were the hunted, the fossils, the inferior species?<\/p>\n<p>Extinction Event touches on our obsession with the scientific process and the philosophical questions that science simply cannot answer. Attendees are taken on a journey through time as Theo sees it, exploring different garments and scenarios the further they delve.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the week, attendees will have the chance to excavate lost garments from dig sites, as well as contributing to a time capsule for our future species. Some will also get the chance to design their own dinosaurs onto garments as a takeaway souvenir from the show.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation embodies Theo\u2019s wider philosophy of Global Affairs Design: that everything is more connected that we think. Species from 98 million years ago might have had the same instincts, desires, problems, intellect and obsessions that we do &#8211; we will just never know.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Accessibility to the Elissa auditorium is good.
