Dell Technologies World and TED present a rebroadcast of excerpts from QUANTOPIA, The Evolution of the Internet, a multi-sensory journey illuminating ever-present issues of inclusion and exclusion, echo chambers and small-world phenomena. A celebration of the history of the Internet, QUANTOPIA is a tribute to the depth and high stakes of free speech and creative expression involved in our daily use of media.

The original 2019 performance was presented in association with Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and produced by Sozo Artists with additional support from Sozo Impact.

This rebroadcast of QUANTOPIA is presented as part of the Dell Technologies World virtual conference. To view this performance, complete the free registration for Dell Technologies World. Excerpts from QUANTOPIA will screened as part of the conference session "TED Salon: Defining the Future" at 8:00am on Thursday, October 22.
