“We are now in a period of search for ideas. The previous system has collapsed under the weight of the information revolution, while the establishment of a new system remains a work in progress. Over the last four decades, we have entered this new – informational or digital civilizational system, which has completely changed the communication system, and the way we perceive the world. Time and space, once familiar parameters, have undergone significant changes: time has expanded, and space has contracted. As a result, we find ourselves pondering how best to define ourselves and our place in this evolving world”.

CCCS director Davit Hovhannisyanwas hosted on “Clash of Ideas” episode of Boon TV’s “Imagining the Present” program. Joining him was writer Gevorg Ter-Gabrielyan. The engaging discussion was moderated by Aghasi Tadevosyan.

Throughout the episode, numerous thought-provoking questions were posed. Is there currently a global war of ideas taking place? Does this phrasing allude to the clash between authoritarianism and democracy? Are we presently in an era of search for new ideas? What exactly constitutes a digital civilization? Is there a clash of ideas within Armenian society and other similar queries were raised during the discussion.
