Rogue Talks: Orchestrated Panic, Neural Warfare & Artificial Minds
Three talks, three topics, the same existential questions. Rogue Talks has pivoted so we can cover more wonder, more weirdness, and more provocations across design, tech, and humanity.
This time, what’s the psychology behind horror movie scores giving us the creeps? How is neuroscience being weaponised in warfare? And the new age question: is AI making us stupid?
As always, come for the talks, stay for the drinks and marginally existential chats with strangers.

FAQS
Will there be food or drinks?
Whilst we won't be serving food, every ticket includes a drink of your choice, and we always cater for non-alcoholic options. (We promise that doesn't just mean water).
Will there be photography?
Photography and filming will be taking place at the event for marketing & promotional purposes. If you don’t wish to be photographed that is A-OK, just speak to one of our team on the day!
Does the venue have step-free access?
The venue is on the second floor of a historic listed wharf and can only be accessed and evacuated by stairs. Unfortunately, it does not have facilities for visitors with limited mobility, so please take this into account when planning your visit.
