The session will be prompted by videos that portray potential futures for distributed energy generation and autonomous appliances. The videos are incomplete and you will be authoring the end of the story. Your story will be performed by the most talented actors in Scotland.
Date: 6th September
Times: 12pm – 2pm or 3pm – 5pm

Energy provision in the UK is currently based on national grids that are well established regulated, and centralised. A few emerging trends, however, suggest different energy futures, such as of distributed energy generation, which allows smaller companies and even households to produce and sell energy in a free market economy. This session will ask what happens when algorithms start to mediate energy provision, or what are the challenges, opportunities and tensions that emerge.
