THE NEW AGE OF TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED INTIMACY Monday, March 10: 5:00pm | Riverside Ballroom As the technology becomes a natural augmentation of our physical relationships, virtual interac- tions are becoming less of a substitute for physical proximity and rather a mechanism to extend and augment intimacy between humans and machines.

In this presentation, hear some of the fascinating facts sur- rounding weather-driven purchase behavior and emotional resonance. Welcome to WeatherFX— this ain't your momma's weatherman. THE CYBORG GAZE: AR, DRONES, MACHINE VISION Saturday, March 8: 5:00pm | Riverside Ballroom As members of technological society, we see the world through a computer-mediated eye.

Augmented, pervasive, and cyborg mediations of reality through AR, drones, and wearable (or carryable) computing affect global society pro- foundly. The cyborg vision of the world affects activism, markets, and the way we rewire our visual cortices into our devices. This panel will feature reportage from cyber-veterans Jon Lebkowsky and Patrick Lichty about disruptive and amusing developments in cyborg living and New Aesthetics.'
