FUTURE LOVE at the Futurefest 17-18 september 2016 The next decade will bring a diversity of love partners for us to choose from – lovebots with intelligent skin, cyborgs with sensory implants, tele-dildonic connected avatars, through to empathetic personal carers loving you day and night. There will be intense debate on the ethical issues that emerge. As human cyborgs appear more often in our communities, as our friends bring robot lovers to dinner, as touch, caress and gaze technology converge, we will see virtual reality, augmented reality and holograms deepening and intensifying our virtual-physical immersive experiences. This expert panel will debate this looping of our senses and emotions with these ‘non-human humans’. Chair: Luke Robert Mason, Director, Virtual Futures Panelists: Trudy Barber, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader, Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Portsmouth Marco Donnarumma, Marco Donnarumma, performance artist and research fellow, Universität der Künste Berlin Anna Troisi, Digital artist and researcher Text from http://www.futurefest.org/speaker/synthetic-emotions http://www.futurefest.org/

In my opinion. love is still the same no matter what day and age. Love is timeless. But of course, the way of transit is different. Back in the day, we send our messages of love through writing. Then came the dawn of electronics. Our messages can now travel faster. With just a simple phone call, or text, we can send messages to those people that are important to us and thus we can express to them how we feel. Love transcends time and distance, that's my take on it.
