Future of Humanity Experience and Andrew Corbley ©

GNN managing editor and lead writer Andy Corbley will be speaking at the Future of Humanity Experience in Basel, Switzerland, held between June 15th and June 22nd.

Andy will present the talk entitled ‘To Travel is to Live Intentionally, to Travel Intentionally is to Live Transcendentally’ which will follow on his decade of working to turn his favorite hobby and lifestyle into a modernist philosophy, line of work, and performance.

Event organizers Muriele Solange Bolay and Iwona Fluda wanted to create a forum where cutting-edge technology and artistic expression help interpret and expand the thoughts of a diverse and expansive group of talents and creators, creating a show and a dialogue about exactly what kind of world the future will hold, and how do we want to enter it.

Can humankind co-exist with intelligent machines, what responsibilities will humans born beyond Earth have to those on Earth, what ethical duties will a species that can increase its lifespan so substantially have to those unable to afford to do so, should we merge our biological bodies with robotic ones: these are all questions Solange and Iwona are eager to explore.

Andy has long espoused the value and necessity of living intentionally in both his personal life and professional work, and will now have the opportunity to present on just such a topic as Solange and Iwona hope to create an intentional vision of the future.

Andy has also been accorded the honor of leading a workshop at the experience that will help attendees crowdsource and build intentional and impactful travel experiences, as well as on how traveling intentionally can be a conduit for bringing out our deepest human potential.

The Future of Humanity Experience, taking place in concert with ArtBasel 2025, will also welcome dozens of talented artists from different schools of thought and background to explore art’s place in the future of our species, invaded as it has been by artificial intelligence and questions about true originality.

This is Andy’s first appointment as a public speaker, a position and honor he has worked very hard to arrive at.
