ABACUS is a baroque presentation delivered by Japanese cult-icon Paul Abacus about the future of national borders, the workings of contemporary persuasion, and our evolving relationship to the screens in our public and private spaces, including our pockets.

Inspired by TED talks and mega-church media design, ABACUS features kaleidoscopic data visualizations, dancing Steadicam operators and the world’s first fully-accredited giant panda.

ABACUS is on in the Main Hall, Summerhall, at 18.10, everyday excl Tuesdays.
