The Self and the Selfie is the second in a series of IAI Events coming to London in spring 2018.
Join us for a unique evening of debate and discussion as our renowned speakers explore the thin lines between narcissism and genius in the Digital Age. With more data stored from one day’s selfies than all the world’s books, many have dismissed Generation Selfie as superficial and vain. Yet creative genius has often been linked to narcissism – Dali once quipped there was no greater joy than waking up as himself. Could focussing on ourselves rather than others be a route to happiness and success? Or is an obsession with ourselves damaging to social cohesion and a likely route to personal misery?
