“We are gods. Our tools make us gods. In symbiosis with our technology, our powers are expanding and so, too, our possibilities.”
Filmmaker, futurist and ‘epiphany addict’ Jason Silva – to put it mildly – likes ideas. He likes their tenacity, their flexibility, their contagious nature, their impact and their ability to expand, procreate, and evolve into new ideas. And he is heading to Australia to tell us all about them.

We’re also excited to have beloved triple j presenter, science enthusiast and Dr Karl Kruszelnicki’s right-hand woman Zan Rowe as the host for Jason Silva in Sydney and Melbourne! A staple of Australian radio, Zan presents Science Talk with Dr Karl, the country’s favourite science Q&A. She’ll be bringing her trademark wit and warmth to the stage, helping Jason explore some of the most fascinating aspect of our infinite world.
