*Electric Dreams*
<https://email.e-flux-systems.com/campaigns/xk284od3n7833/track-url/xe096tjd4wa0d/a20b008b942af518da10be9418d89b2e0a6d8fd5>,
the virtual symposium and exhibition, explores the dystopian ghosts of
cyberpunk, juxtaposing technological achievements with societal decay while
also discussing the new realities and possibilities that are now emerging
from that neural darkness. Electric Dreams calls for an interdisciplinary
discourse to open new pathways for exploring cutting-edge technologies,
such as artificial intelligence and the metaverse, and their creative
potential.

We ask: What are the dreams and dystopias of our time? Where are we now,
and what possible futures are open to us, if any?

*Electric Dreams* is the first symposium and exhibition organised by the
Computational Media and Arts Thrust (CMA) at The Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology (Guangzhou). The global pandemic has led to
accelerated innovation in international symposia and exhibitions, and under
the circumstances it is fitting that *Electric Dreams* 2022: first CMA
international symposium and exhibition on Computational Media and Arts will
run entirely online. The symposium will take place on August 25–26, 2022,
and the exhibition will remain online until June 25, 2023.
