What happens to realness when everything can be remixed or repurposed by anyone?

Dr. Lisa Mosconi – Designing Nature

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 15:52:36 GMT

“If you could see the future, what would you have for dinner?”

Dr. Lisa Mosconi, one of the leading experts on how Alzheimer’s is related to our diets, knows better than most that a longer life doesn’t necessarily mean a more healthier life. In her talk, she theorizes about how we – through our diets – can try to slow down the aging process of our brains.

Dr. Daisy Ginsberg – Designing Nature

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 15:01:58 GMT

“Better is not the same as good, better hasn't an agenda.”

What is better? Who’s better? Who decides? The design of living matter can be seen as synthetic biology, a way of engineering biology for a better world. Could synthetic biology create life to save the environment? Daisy Ginsberg guides us through research done into the past to help us see what we value the most in the future. By using synthetic biology we can evoke a feeling of loss. Humans dream about better. But “better” isn’t the same as good and changes all the time. What better do we want?

Victoria Percovich Gutierrez & Åsa Bjerndell – All we have is time

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:27:38 GMT

"When eternity is your deadline – what values will end up in the center?"

Victoria Percovich Gutierrez, sustainability strategist with an MBA, and Åsa Bjerndell, lead architect and development manager, are part of the team at White Arkitekter that is working with "Råängen", a unique urban development project in the city of Lund, and its client Lund's Cathedral.

At The Conference, Victoria and Åsa talked about how Råängen is challenging both the traditional values of architecture, urban development and market economy, as well as explain how the classic models of success are normally achieved and created.

What values are crystallized when eternity defines a project? And what purpose is given to the value of sustainability when the perspective of time goes beyond everything we know and rely on today?

Dr. Lynn Rothschild – Designing Nature

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:25:30 GMT

“We have been designing nature for tens of thousands of years and more.”

Charles Darwin said that "biological evolution creates design without a designer”. But what if we could design life somewhere else? With synthetic biology we can, in a way, reprogram life. Just as travel abroad permits new insights into home, so too does the search for life elsewhere allow a more mature scientific, philosophical and ethical perception of life on Earth. We have to learn to live after the land we live in, both on and away from earth, says Astrobiologist and Adjunct professor (Brown University) Dr. Lynn Rothschild.

Tendayi Viki – Innovation is for Everyone

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:23:30 GMT

“Business plans serve to crush your dreams.”

In this talk, Tendayi Viki explores how corporate leaders can go beyond creating physical spaces and innovation labs in order to provide real space for everyone within the organisation to innovate. He presents innovation as someone giving you a bag with pieces of a puzzle, but without a picture of what the puzzle actually looks like. He also talks about the importance of providing people with tool boxes and coaches to create innovation, because it’s a privilege to have both tools and tutors.

Charlotta Ahlberg – Innovation is for Everyone

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:21:52 GMT

"Creativity is not innovation, creativity is a skill."

Drawing from her knowledge and experiences from the innovation departments in large corporate environments, Charlotta talks about how you can take advantage of the enormous strengths and collective brainpower in a global enterprise. For this, she explains how she came to the conclusion that the 6 Ts (two, thirst, thoughts, trust, truce, tenacity) are the real building blocks of success.

Kenjiro Kirton – Innovation is for Everyone

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:20:06 GMT

“Play is the original form of co-creation.”

Being an expert in the noble art of working together with others, Kenjiro Kirton explains how and why co-creation is fundamental for innovation and creativity. He also speaks about the importance of providing people with tools that can challenge how and where innovation can happen.

Simone Rebaudengo – What Is Real?

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:09:25 GMT

“Some things are too fucking good to be real.”

Product and interaction designer Simone Rebaudengo tries to bend this idea of fiction and reality through his own projects and products by looking at everyday objects. He plays with the idea of redefining the value of ‘fake’ objects and what the result of that can tell us about the future. Questions such as whether the ‘fake’ objects actually might be better than the real ones or not, and will objects actually be objective in the future? What happens when objects have opinions and are biased? And what does it feel like to be a vacuum cleaner? Simone ends the talk with exclaiming that things are only gonna get weirder from here.

James Bridle – What Is Real?

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:07:24 GMT

“There’s a concrete and causal relationship between the public understanding of technology and the stability and inequality of democracy in societies that goes on top of it.”

Linda Liukas – Electricity That Loves

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 14:04:07 GMT

“Code is the new lingua franca.”

Linda Liukas, author of the popular “Hello Ruby” book series, started writing because she thought storytelling was missing from computer science education. Although coding is an overarching theme in the books, her writing is not exclusively about coding. Linda has a great admiration for famous educators like Piaget, and she has a mission to prepare kids for a world where so many of the problems that they encounter are computer-related. She points out that computers are tools for self-expression and problem solving. In her opinion, computers are abstract machines and most of all, technology is built on humanity.
