4IR
Bartlett 2017 - 2018
We are on the brink of 4IR - the fourth industrial revolution. Building on the momentum of last century’s digital revolution, 4IR is beginning to merge our cyber networks with our physical infrastructure at an accelerating rate, creating new hybridised environments. With every mile of optic fibre laid and each new artificially intelligent device embedded in the internet of things, the ways in which we interface with our physical environment are modified and the ways we interact with one and other are shaped. In this technological storm our culture and economy will be forged. How will these advances fundamentally change the way we live, and ultimately, challenge our way of life? Intrigued by this fragile tension between cultural tradition and technological progression, this year’s brief invites you to enter tomorrow’s Brave New Worlds.
