Through the transforming story of his walking pilgrimage across India, Nipun kicks off by sharing his three key values: success, service and stillness. Further life snippets trigger us to ask ourselves fundamental questions such as “Where did you learn to be good?” or “Who must we be to walk towards futures we cannot imagine?” For one thing is certain, Nipun loves life and the humans that constitute it. He generously shares with the audience the guiding statements shaping his daily life, work and service, as they are all intertwined. By taking inspiration from figures of compassion and wisdom such as Mother Teresa, Gandhi or Desmond Tutu, he insists that creating a “we-to-we” community centred around our relationship to the other rather than the value involved in the transaction process will make us all more complete humans. As he concludes, “we are not merely what we do but we become who we are by what we do”. A true lesson of community, service and humility to help us navigate the unknown of tomorrow. 2024-08-28T17:24:34+00:00 yes 3011 2024 2024 keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-2 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104017774 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/104017774/d2d1e64457c2ed880911a0f4a46f6ef3/video_medium/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-2-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/104017774/d2d1e64457c2ed880911a0f4a46f6ef3/small/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-2-thumbnail.jpg Johanna Koljonen – Closing Remarks from The Conference 2024 Moderator Johanna Koljonen speaks to a packed Theatre stage before the closing keynote on Wednesday.

But in her contribution to the session ”Rewilding Us”, Seowoo Nam (she/her) shows how useful it can be for green infrastructures. Currently doing design and research for award-winning Dutch agency C°F, Seowoo employs digital simulations to find ways of sensing through data. Because changes to the climate happen so slowly, they’re hard for the human mind to sense. Perhaps we should rather craft interfaces and tools to tell us meaningful narratives from data? Once you sense something you immediately know that it is really happening, Seowoo says, and you can determine actions to take. So, no, musicians aren’t the only ones who have created digital twins of themselves. Seowoo’s twin forests run as simulations to get a sense of what might happen in future scenarios.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T16:38:28+00:00 yes 597 2024 2024 rewilding us https://theconference.twentythree.com/michael-kibedi-human-decentered https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104016814 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104016814/63ee205c6709748fd33a9e6e94a874fa/video_medium/michael-kibedi-human-decentered-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104016814/63ee205c6709748fd33a9e6e94a874fa/small/michael-kibedi-human-decentered-thumbnail.jpg Michael Kibedi – Human Decentered Design “We should look inwards and consider who gets to be called a designer and think of the cultural exclusion that’s happening there.” In this insightful talk, Michael Kibedi (he/him) challenges us to rethink our impact on the earth, ourselves, and our future. He explores how a human-centered economy and isolating technology contribute to environmental harm and social disconnect. Kibedi encourages us to reflect on who is recognized as a designer and the cultural exclusions shaping these recognitions. By examining the origins of our design ideals, he calls for a broader, more inclusive view of creativity and personhood.Looking ahead, Kibedi urges us to imagine diverse, equitable futures, questioning narrow, Western-centric technological perspectives. He emphasizes the need for reparative work and engagement with varied knowledge traditions to avoid repeating the erasure of marginalized communities.Through his talk, Michael inspires a more inclusive and harmonious approach to design and technology. By rewilding our perspectives, we can strive towards inclusive futures that honor multiple ways of knowing and being. <div> </div> 2024-08-28T16:37:58+00:00 yes 888 2024 2024 rewilding us https://theconference.twentythree.com/giulia-testa-rewilding https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104016774 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/104016774/85f0e1c0f392fe0a85956af557102581/video_medium/giulia-testa-rewilding-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/104016774/85f0e1c0f392fe0a85956af557102581/small/giulia-testa-rewilding-thumbnail.jpg Giulia Testa – Rewilding “Do we want species to exist only at the bare minimum, just above the threshold of being considered endangered, or do we want a thriving nature?” Giulia Testa’s (she/her) talk dives deep into the concept of shifting baseline syndrome—a gradual change in accepted norms that has led us to unknowingly accept the decline of wildlife populations as "normal." She challenges us to recognize how our reference points shape our understanding of the natural world and influence our conservation ambitions. Gulia advocates for a progressive approach to conservation: rewilding. By bringing back wildlife and restoring ecosystems to a state where they can take care of themselves, she argues that we can create a more balanced and sustainable environment. This includes acknowledging the crucial role of scavengers in keeping ecosystems clean, as well as the unique impact predators have on biotic systems—an influence we can't replicate through human management. Her talk is a powerful reminder that in order to truly conserve nature, we must learn to let go of control and allow the natural world the space to recover and flourish on its own terms.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T16:37:24+00:00 yes 952 2024 2024 Rewilding Us https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-from-learning-how-to-learn https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104016701 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/104016701/63a434b48640a98c528f4c81134459e1/video_medium/qa-from-learning-how-to-learn-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/104016701/63a434b48640a98c528f4c81134459e1/small/qa-from-learning-how-to-learn-thumbnail.jpg Q&A from Learning How to Learn The Q&A from session Learning How to Learn with Ella Fitzsimmons, James Taylor-Foster and Lore Oxford 2024-08-28T16:36:08+00:00 yes 901 2024 2024 learning how to learn https://theconference.twentythree.com/lore-oxford-ask-me-anything-social https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104016688 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/104016688/ac34a0a46dac1b0aa3c6a26d954a488d/video_medium/lore-oxford-ask-me-anything-social-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/104016688/ac34a0a46dac1b0aa3c6a26d954a488d/small/lore-oxford-ask-me-anything-social-thumbnail.jpg Lore Oxford – Ask me Anything: Social Learning in an Antisocial World “Through others we become ourselves, we learn, we grow and acquire knowledge”. As society becomes increasingly digital, people become more socially awkward. But, learning through interactions with other human beings is an essential part of life. So how can we learn from each other when there are less opportunities to meet in person? According to Lore Oxford, the answer lies in community building. Reddit provides a platform for people to come together and discuss topics of common interest. Whether it’s taking advice from other dog owners or discussing personal finance with people who have the same level of knowledge, the platform offers a safe space to share and learn. Drawing from her experience in community management at Reddit, she offers three main strategies that brands and employers can adopt to enable social learning: normalising openness, defining boundaries, and integrating perspectives.

He introduces the audience to the concept of "world glimpsing," where we learn about our own world by experiencing the worlds of others. Using live action role-play (LARP) as an example, he affirms that temporarily becoming a different character helps us, among other things, to become more empathetic toward others. Through role-play, we can adopt someone else’s perspective and view of the world, leading to improved understanding and connection.Additionally, the concept of play offers significant opportunities to connect and communicate not only about pleasant topics but also more serious matters in life. Engaging with other realities helps us push our own limits and expand our experiential understanding of the world. This, he claims, is the power of design.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T16:34:16+00:00 yes 978 2024 2024 learning how to learn https://theconference.twentythree.com/ella-fitzsimmons-what-can-magic https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104016642 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/104016642/553085ab0bf771386831d3cf3a10e74b/video_medium/ella-fitzsimmons-what-can-magic-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/104016642/553085ab0bf771386831d3cf3a10e74b/small/ella-fitzsimmons-what-can-magic-thumbnail.jpg Ella Fitzsimmons – What can Magic Teach Us about AI? “By adding AI to software we can create something magical.” Ella Fitzsimmons cleverly draws parallels between AI and how magic has been used, portrayed and worked in  medieval courts and beyond. It is something that we are fascinated by – a great power that allows us to create something from “thin air” with minimum work. She suggests that we as a collective need to deepen our understanding of AI. This allows us to no longer see the magic, that is AI, as a threat to humanity. Similarly she compares it to the knowledgeable people who were mistreated in the past because of their special “magical” abilities.   But, how can we harness the potential of AI, and how should we manage the changes it brings to our world? Fitzsimmons underlines the need to learn from the past and reflect on where we want to be in the future. System designers need to consider the users first to be able to leverage that power to create a magical experience for them. <div> </div> 2024-08-28T16:33:21+00:00 yes 850 2024 2024 learning how to learn https://theconference.twentythree.com/rosa-whiteley-climavore https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104015824 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/104015824/2f0714e0dcf4d3a26ce3723c0cd71f74/video_medium/rosa-whiteley-climavore-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/104015824/2f0714e0dcf4d3a26ce3723c0cd71f74/small/rosa-whiteley-climavore-thumbnail.jpg Rosa Whiteley - CLIMAVORE What does a climavore eat? More than a diet, it’s a call to address the manmade seasons created by pollution, soil exhaustion, and fertiliser runoff. How we structure our food systems in turn structures the environment, directly impacting the climate. Rosa Whiteley is Director of Material Research at CLIMAVORE, a research platform and agency who ask the question of how to eat in the anthropocene. She describes their activities on the Isle of Skye, where the cascading effects of intensive salmon farming are felt along the coastline. They advocate divestment from salmon farming and explore alternative ingredients such as seaweeds, sea vegetables, and bivalve shellfish. Through their rebuilding practice, CLIMAVORE investigate historical ties between food systems and architectural typologies. Rosa mentions how in 15th century Edinburgh oyster shells were used to pack a hole in the Royal Mile. This symbiotic connection has been severed by carbon intensive building practices and food production which wipe out local knowledge. Using lime, mortar, and tabby cement made from shells, CLIMAVORE create materials for building and art installations. Moving beyond materiality, CLIMAVORE sow the seeds for societal change through community managed growing areas and meeting spaces, reinvestment of funds within Skye, and collective ownership of goods. They point the way towards new ways of living in coastal regions and beyond.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T16:03:13+00:00 yes 1097 2024 2024 manufacturing materiality https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-manufacturing-materiality https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104015750 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/104015750/632c13ef232f786e201779885b9294ed/video_medium/qa-manufacturing-materiality-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/104015750/632c13ef232f786e201779885b9294ed/small/qa-manufacturing-materiality-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Manufacturing Materiality The Q&A from the session Manufacturing Materiality with Rosa Whitely and Laura Feinstein 2024-08-28T15:59:39+00:00 yes 1113 2024 2024 manufacturing materiality https://theconference.twentythree.com/laura-feinstein-from-manufacturing https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104015604 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/104015604/9e27947f447a5f67ab36fe2f919e5305/video_medium/laura-feinstein-from-manufacturing-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/104015604/9e27947f447a5f67ab36fe2f919e5305/small/laura-feinstein-from-manufacturing-thumbnail.jpg Laura Feinstein from Manufacturing Materiality Kickstarter helps bring projects to life and as the first crowdfunding platform with $7 billion pledged and 239,000 projects funded, so what new concepts have emerge with this aid? In the session Laura Feinstein, Senior Design and Tech Editor at Kickstarter, dives into how fashion and textile creators are breaking out of labs and turning cutting-edge materials research and circular products into must-see showstoppers—both online and in real-world showrooms.Imagine walking in shoes made from coffee grounds, or accessorizing cactus leather bags, or your home lit by lamps manufactured from orange peels. What if I tell you that it’s for real?  Kickstarter helped turn these ideas into products.Laura talks of Kickstarter as a way to provide a platform for creators to redefine innovation. The financial support allows them to produce small runs, fund product development, and real-world R&D, demonstrate market needs, and tell their stories in their own words. From transforming sustainability research into the thriving Nutshell Coolers to transforming a family-run Paris fashion house into the digital era with vegan materials, Kickstarter shows a system where creativity meets opportunity. <div> </div> 2024-08-28T15:55:34+00:00 yes 1055 2024 2024 manufacturing materiality https://theconference.twentythree.com/trudy-painter-algorithms-behind-ai https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104011601 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104011601/53026482ac5f20c8503912a562f29ab3/video_medium/trudy-painter-algorithms-behind-ai-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104011601/53026482ac5f20c8503912a562f29ab3/small/trudy-painter-algorithms-behind-ai-thumbnail.jpg Trudy Painter – Algorithms behind AI - A case for technical literacy in AI “It’s very fun to make AI tools magical. [...] But when you make AI feel airy, you remove the possibility for people to ask questions. So it’s better to make it approachable.” Trudy is an active technology enthusiast who is convinced that AI tools can be as useful as electricity. By providing real-life examples and related metaphors of ceramic mugs and paper cups, the recent MIT graduate firmly believes that everyone can - and perhaps should - be able to understand AI tools and how the algorithm works “under the hood” in order to be better informed when making decisions around its usage and implementation in organisations. Trudy conveys a clear and easy-to-follow explanation of how AI generation differs from the everyday search on our internet browsers. While search engines retrieve information from existing websites that the algorithm judges relevant, AI generation patches up an artifact which replicates human speech and predicts “the most likely next word” based on patterns observed in human interaction. AI literacy is hence of utmost relevance now that AI tools have reached their most capable and accessible stage yet.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T14:04:55+00:00 yes 753 2024 2024 ai late-stage digitalization https://theconference.twentythree.com/somya-joshi-resource-frontiers-of https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104011494 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/104011494/6998963eca5c2b59d7fad3b33a2b2d7a/video_medium/somya-joshi-resource-frontiers-of-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/104011494/6998963eca5c2b59d7fad3b33a2b2d7a/small/somya-joshi-resource-frontiers-of-thumbnail.jpg Somya Joshi – Resource Frontiers of AI “Could AI ever be a common pool of resources?” Researcher Somya Joshi makes a compelling observation: the same extractive narratives of 19th century industrialisation are being reproduced today in our venture to conquer the AI ecosystem. Somya highlights how major technological shifts such as the Green Revolution relied on the premise that automation would always lead to progress, and the myth around this pattern persists in the case of AI. Somya reminds us that following the major revolutions seen in history, power eventually remained in the hands of the elites. In parallel, other authors have discussed the “unequal geographies and distributive effects” in the extraction and manufacturing stages involved with progress and technology. The footprint of labour has traditionally been made invisible in the process, and the same now applies to the footprint of materials such as water, copper and silicon, mainly sourced in the Global South.  Somya calls for the normative act of imagining equity to ensure a sustainable and more just future by seeing AI as a common resource for global use.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T14:02:38+00:00 yes 549 2024 2024 ai late-stage digitalization https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-late-stage-digitalization https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104011490 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968561/104011490/91edf1947362b4514562ede61aea02bc/video_medium/qa-late-stage-digitalization-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968561/104011490/91edf1947362b4514562ede61aea02bc/small/qa-late-stage-digitalization-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Late-Stage Digitalization The Q&A from the session Late-Stage Digitalization with Somya Joshi and Trudy Painter 2024-08-28T14:02:19+00:00 yes 1297 2024 2024 late-stage digitalization https://theconference.twentythree.com/anna-granath-and-maria-torn-why https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104009903 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/104009903/2076f8162cfddc8d782ad37174407c8c/video_medium/anna-granath-and-maria-torn-why-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/104009903/2076f8162cfddc8d782ad37174407c8c/small/anna-granath-and-maria-torn-why-thumbnail.jpg Anna Granath and Maria Törn – Why Play is Serious Stuff The Conference's partner IKEA hosted a talk during Wednesday’s Getting Grounded session focusing on IKEA most recent findings on play, design and why it all matters more than we think. Why is play important? And why is IKEA so obsessed with playfulness? Anna Granath and Maria Törn are ready to answer those questions, freshly armed with insight from IKEA’s recent children’s play report.  Simplicity, Inclusivity, and Playfulness. Those three words guide IKEA’s design philosophy. Play is seen as the ticket to learn better, to improve psychological safety, and subconsciously acquire maths, physics, and social skills. But the clearest answer is the one we hear from children. It’s fun to play. We get to imagine. It makes us happy. Adult concerns affect children’s play. Global worries about the pandemic, war, climate, and economy have created stress for children. And play is not fun anymore. Struggles with money, space, and even playful capacity, mean that not all children have the same kind of play. Reassuringly, the best cure is play itself. IKEA’s report reveals that families are prioritising play and spending more time playing together. “There’s a little bit of a play revolution out there” What can we do? Embrace the diversity of play, from imagination to exploring outside, playing sport and being creative. Adopt play as a mindset. Imbue everyday situations with the possibility of playfulness. So, maybe we should all be obsessed with playfulness and for good reason. <div> </div> 2024-08-28T13:43:28+00:00 yes 1639 2024 2024 getting grounded https://theconference.twentythree.com/anab-jain-rewilding-our https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104007359 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104007359/47620f48ff499068e845a5b3fbe62b2f/video_medium/anab-jain-rewilding-our-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104007359/47620f48ff499068e845a5b3fbe62b2f/small/anab-jain-rewilding-our-thumbnail.jpg Anab Jain – Rewilding Our Imaginations “We need an infrastructure that deepens our spiritual connection to the world – a spiritual infrastructure.”Filmmaker, designer and futurist Anab Jain (she/her) wants us to keep asking ”what if”. How might we flourish by living in a different way than today? You might know her work with the foresight and design studio Superflux from the Venice Biennale, where they created a banquet for 12 different species in 2021. That’s just one example of how we can imagine the future through storytelling. And not just one future but many different possible futures.Anab introduces two ideas for rewilding our minds and the planet: Expanding the self through interconnectedness, and intergenerational ecological time. A great example of the latter is the ”seven generation stewardship” employed by some indigenous peoples in America. It’s a way of safe-guarding the planet for use at the same (or an even better) rate than now.Dive into Anab’s inspirational talk that takes us from Bhutan, to London and back again.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T12:27:41+00:00 yes 2524 2024 2024 keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/joshua-idehen-stretch-for-the https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104007085 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/104007085/e2986843d1b87c11a9d41a015f1446ed/video_medium/joshua-idehen-stretch-for-the-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/104007085/e2986843d1b87c11a9d41a015f1446ed/small/joshua-idehen-stretch-for-the-thumbnail.jpg Joshua Idehen – Stretch for The Stars 2024-08-28T12:19:39+00:00 yes 737 2024 2024 https://theconference.twentythree.com/mary-wallace-the-ai-enhanced https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104005446 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/104005446/39ef7c3c2bcad27deb51e8834c022c9e/video_medium/mary-wallace-the-ai-enhanced-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/104005446/39ef7c3c2bcad27deb51e8834c022c9e/small/mary-wallace-the-ai-enhanced-thumbnail.jpg Mary Wallace – The AI-Enhanced Consumer The Conference's main partner IBM hosted a talk during Wednesday’s Getting Grounded session focusing on approaches on AI, its uses and adaptations and our relation with it.  Artificial intelligence provides us with new ways to communicate through products. In her talk, Mary Wallace portrays how AI can be used to improve consumers’ retail experiences within various industries, such as the beverage and fashion industry. For example AI can be implemented to bring life to inanimate objects like clothes, drinks and beds. For brands, integrating AI into products serves as a gateway to other services. By collecting and analysing consumer data, brands can get to know their consumers on a deeper level. This allows brands to further personalise the consumer experience through their products. Thereby adding value to consumers as well as allowing brands to stay in the forefront of AI development, and differentiate themselves on the market. Consequently, Wallace states that “the product is no longer a product”.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T11:26:45+00:00 yes 1861 2024 2024 ai ai in services getting grounded https://theconference.twentythree.com/matt-candy-successful-approaches https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=104005414 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104005414/651e97f3843b6c9ce79789397f251b03/video_medium/matt-candy-successful-approaches-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/104005414/651e97f3843b6c9ce79789397f251b03/small/matt-candy-successful-approaches-thumbnail.jpg Matt Candy – Successful approaches with Generative AI The Conference's main partner IBM hosted a talk during Wednesday’s Getting Grounded session focusing on approaches on AI, its uses and adaptations and our relation with it.  Matt Candy presents the numerous opportunities that generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) offers, and provides insight into IBM’s human-centred approach to leveraging new technologies in their business.Gen AI has an immense potential to grow GDP when used in smart and efficient ways. By learning how to integrate AI in all sorts of daily tasks, organisations can improve their business and, among other things, provide better customer experiences. How enterprises adopt and execute will define whether they unlock the larger scale of AI, according to Candy. He emphasises the need for a human-centred approach, which is the fundament of IBM’s model for integrating Gen AI in their own organisation. This means using people’s actual tasks as the starting point for where to add value with Gen AI, as well as letting technology shape how we recruit in terms of desired skill sets. According to Candy, people are only able to use Gen AI successfully when becoming an AI creator rather than a user. He provides us with what he considers to be the equation for Gen AI success in his talk.<div> </div> 2024-08-28T11:24:55+00:00 yes 2575 2024 2024 ai ai in services getting grounded https://theconference.twentythree.com/sean-ronayne-now-what https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103991199 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/103991199/b5122e79b441826a04a63934c68b76e4/video_medium/sean-ronayne-now-what-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/103991199/b5122e79b441826a04a63934c68b76e4/small/sean-ronayne-now-what-thumbnail.jpg Seán Ronayne – Now What? “How do we protect something we do not love and do not understand?” Seán Ronayne is the ornithologist who came up with the idea to sound-record every bird in Ireland, to show the world what beautiful and unique creatures they are. He is also the main character in the documentary Birdsong. With his extraordinary projects capturing soundscapes and imagery from nature’s most precious wildlife, he urges people to come together and protect the nation’s birds, as 63% of them are at risk of extinction. His collections are representations of the physical loss that are a consequence of the exploitation of Irish nature. He uses music and sound as a way of connecting with people and making them feel and understand the importance of preserving biodiversity. Birds’ mimicry of each other and other species is a symbol of the worlds’ interconnectedness. As Seán points out, extinction is not just happening in the Amazons but “here on our doorstep”, and “the actions that we take in Sweden and Ireland have a ripple effect on the world.” 2024-08-27T17:25:34+00:00 yes 2595 2024 2024 keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/joshua-idehen-mom-does-the-washing https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103991168 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/103991168/bd9185dfcf97947ade585db5748d03a1/video_medium/joshua-idehen-mom-does-the-washing-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/103991168/bd9185dfcf97947ade585db5748d03a1/small/joshua-idehen-mom-does-the-washing-thumbnail.jpg Joshua Idehen – Mom Does The Washing “We are living in a world where we do not agree.” The spoken word artist Joshua Idehen kicks off the session by delivering a humorous performance about the flaws of various ideologies, the world according to your mom, doing the washing.

Think about your childhood – what made you feel safe at home?For many of us, our childhoods were unplugged. Now, times have changed. We’re wired into tech at every turn. Parents have turned into safety officers—some offering trust and guidance, others building walls of protection. But for kids, the question is "What’s lurking in the dark?"IKEA, in collaboration with Our Normal Association, dives deep into this dynamic, exploring life from the perspective of kids. For adults, a digital security system is a shield, a sense of control. But for a child, it’s a looming threat, “Will this thing eat my toys?” Today’s smart technology prioritizes adult fears and comforts, leaving kids out in the cold.The future of design is inclusion. It’s the union of mental peace and physical safety. It’s about the creation of spaces where everyone feels secure. Technology must evolve to serve every member of the family, not just the grown-ups. The role of the designer is to find the edge cases. When we design for empathy, we shape a future where everyone belongs. <div> </div> 2024-08-27T16:17:53+00:00 yes 958 2024 2024 structuring structures https://theconference.twentythree.com/emily-best-sara-watson-a-peoples https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103989604 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/103989604/d3dc45fdb07173cbad6c3f37e39907f1/video_medium/emily-best-sara-watson-a-peoples-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/103989604/d3dc45fdb07173cbad6c3f37e39907f1/small/emily-best-sara-watson-a-peoples-thumbnail.jpg Emily Best & Sara Watson – A People’s History of Tech Includes You “Almost everyone has a story connected to their mobile phone. They are deeply personal and interconnected with our daily lives.”But what if technology isn't just what we do, but how we feel? Emily and Sarah knew this truth. Their experiences with tech left deep imprints, revealing that while Silicon Valley excels at innovation, it often overlooks the origin stories. Determined to change that, they embarked on a journey to build a timeline of technology, one that didn’t just highlight its triumphs but also its scars.Faced with a challenge—"How do we get people to share their stories?"—they turned to the art of prompt engineering. By using tech as a tool to connect and create meaning, they tapped into something powerful. The timelines resonated deeply, making people feel seen, heard, and represented.The result? Our people’s history that’s raw, nostalgic, and deeply expansive. It invites the questions: What is innovation if not done responsibly?

It’s not going to be like the movies, a CGI spectacle of eschatological earthquakes and meteorites. Climate breakdown is a slow and terrifying disaster. Györgi Gálik, City Transitions Co-Lead at Dark Matter Labs, emphasises our need to have an honest understanding of the challenge we face in order to make informed decisions to address it.To take the temperature of society, Györgi points to everyday political talk as a primary site for people’s ‘world-making.’ Current conversation on climate veers from hedonism to nihilism, technological optimism and denialism. To those who seek to sequester themselves on a farm in the Nordic archipelago, “we are way beyond planting cucumbers.”How do we ready ourselves for resilience? Györgi advocates we update frameworks of governance to pledge greater diversity, develop versatile skill sets, and adapt our language use to encompass mutual codependency and co-security. She highlights already existing examples – cornerstone indicators that measure satisfaction with vehicle-free life and key project objectives that explicitly include poverty alleviation.What type of citizenry do we wish to practise? We can expand our collective imagination to embody a diverse, participatory, and resilient citizenship. Györgi concludes with a guiding principle – faced with an obvious answer to a complex question, be suspicious.<div> </div> 2024-08-27T16:15:26+00:00 yes 1161 2024 2024 structuring structures https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-entangled-and-enmeshed https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103989359 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/103989359/cbfb3e0ed5c27c9e1bc85b3f4d1a95c9/video_medium/qa-entangled-and-enmeshed-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/103989359/cbfb3e0ed5c27c9e1bc85b3f4d1a95c9/small/qa-entangled-and-enmeshed-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Entangled and Enmeshed Q&A from the session Entangled and Enmeshed with Andie Nordgren, Tony Olsson and Matt Jones 2024-08-27T16:05:45+00:00 yes 175 2024 2024 entangled and enmeshed https://theconference.twentythree.com/andie-nordgren-agency-in-code https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103989358 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/103989358/f135d82c589de9f246339fc1e97cfd72/video_medium/andie-nordgren-agency-in-code-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/103989358/f135d82c589de9f246339fc1e97cfd72/small/andie-nordgren-agency-in-code-thumbnail.jpg Andie Nordgren – Agency in Code Landscapes - The Case for Maintenance “Software is an interesting medium. At least in theory, once you make something and it doesn’t become successful, it doesn’t cost anything to change your mind. You can just stop running it.”Software is built upon software, forming a complex and often invisible dependency tree. This is the world Andie Nordgren (she/her) navigates, where large and aging codebases are like dynamic landscapes—constantly evolving, with each shift potentially introducing unexpected obstacles.Andie shares her reflections and learnings from working in organizations that live or die by their ability to navigate and operate with really large code bases. Tools like Wardley mapping can help uncover hidden dependencies and elevate maintenance from a mere afterthought to an organizational priority.Andie highlights the crucial yet often overlooked role of maintenance, challenging us to ask: Are we truly maintaining agency over our code? In the rush to deliver new features and products, the long-term sustainability of our codebases often falls by the wayside. She argues that organizations, in their quest for rapid delivery, neglect the importance of maintaining agency within these vast code landscapes.<div> </div> 2024-08-27T16:05:42+00:00 yes 1041 2024 2024 entangled and enmeshed https://videos.theconference.se/matt-jones-planetary-energy-system https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103989256 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/103989256/a34c4d91ec8a773898b8cbd471ba5973/video_medium/matt-jones-planetary-energy-system-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/103989256/a34c4d91ec8a773898b8cbd471ba5973/small/matt-jones-planetary-energy-system-thumbnail.jpg Matt Jones – Planetary Energy System Changes at Street Level ”We don’t have an energy problem, we have a matter problem.” Matt Jones (he/him) has been designing digital products and services since 1995.

From the planetary to the stellar, even to the galactic scale – this might sound like the stuff of Star Trek, but it’s quite simple. Matt believes that with the existing wind, water and solar power available to us (plus storage capabilities) we can reach Type 1 living on the Kardashev scale – we’re currently only at 0.7.By working with the 3Ds of energy: decarbonisation, digitisation and decentralisation – products like the solar batteries produced by Lunar can help us get all the electricity we need, while still leaving fossil fuels behind. 2024-08-27T16:03:28+00:00 yes 1287 2024 2024 entangled and enmeshed https://theconference.twentythree.com/tony-olsson-beyond-the-threshold https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103988982 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968579/103988982/ce17cc9c2668aa3815c408c7c84f58b8/video_medium/tony-olsson-beyond-the-threshold-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968579/103988982/ce17cc9c2668aa3815c408c7c84f58b8/small/tony-olsson-beyond-the-threshold-thumbnail.jpg Tony Olsson – Beyond the Threshold “When we know who enters what, we can also adapt the situation accordingly”As a part of the session ”Entangled and Enmeshed”, Tony Olsson shares with us his experience of working on UX design for access control management products.

By taking on a critical approach to modern technology, Georgina Voss emphasizes the need to collectively challenge the systems that underpin our world. Humans suffer from hubris in terms of using technology to exert control. Voss draws a parallel to the film Jurassic Park, highlighting the role of technological systems in our everyday life. She explains how these systems affect us both emotionally and physically although they are invisible to the human eye. As were the imaginary dinosaurs to the actors in the movie. But, “how to see what isn’t there?” Through digital screens we can have new experiences in virtual worlds, which might evoke unsettling emotions. But just like in Jurassic Park, the systems that are there to protect us can in fact also become a threat. The theme of control connected to systems becomes more relevant with complex and demanding technologies evolving rapidly. Voss urges us to take a critical perspective on the systems surrounding us, “because after all, if velociraptors can systematically test electrified fences for weakness, so can we”. 2024-08-27T13:27:55+00:00 yes 3060 2024 2024 keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-time-trust-and-wisdom https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103982927 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/103982927/6a9b402d930be0a3db7ada38d88f0514/video_medium/qa-time-trust-and-wisdom-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/103982927/6a9b402d930be0a3db7ada38d88f0514/small/qa-time-trust-and-wisdom-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Time, Trust and Wisdom The Q&A from session Time, Trust and Wisdom with Monika Jiang, Gustavo Noguiera de Menezes and Valeria Adani 2024-08-27T13:04:16+00:00 yes 869 2024 2024 time trust and wisdom https://theconference.twentythree.com/valeria-adani-designing-for-trust https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103982869 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/103982869/487c00cb3ffb8917877497b97d37455a/video_medium/valeria-adani-designing-for-trust-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/103982869/487c00cb3ffb8917877497b97d37455a/small/valeria-adani-designing-for-trust-thumbnail.jpg Valeria Adani – Designing for Trust “Trust is an outcome – not something you can design for.”For many years designers and users alike have been pushing for “seamless” technologies and services – but this approach has not always prioritised safety, privacy, and TRUST. We’ve been obsessed with making things easy to use, rather than making things that are transparent, accountable, and trustworthy. This dilemma is at the core of Projects by IF and Valeria Adani’s work. According to Adani, every time you invent a new technology, you’re also designing a new set of risks and potential harms, whether you intend to or not, and this correlates with potentially diminishing trust on the part of organisations.By promoting a human-centred perspective in data, Valeria and her colleagues showcase the importance of trust in technology. At the dawn of the rise of AI, the first technological innovation coming from commercial rather than public institutions, the role of trust will have an increasingly stronger impact in determining the success of a company.<div> </div> 2024-08-27T13:03:23+00:00 yes 995 2024 2024 time trust and wisdom https://theconference.twentythree.com/monika-jiang-from-time-trust-and https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103982792 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/103982792/fd9c36cc38e14b1b891979f3f30c5f18/video_medium/monika-jiang-from-time-trust-and-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/103982792/fd9c36cc38e14b1b891979f3f30c5f18/small/monika-jiang-from-time-trust-and-thumbnail.jpg Monika Jiang from Time, Trust and Wisdom “Underneath the experience of loneliness is always a longing”. It is not part of our human nature to isolate ourselves from others – yet this is increasingly the reality of modern-day societies. Our physical environments (such as car-centric cities and single-person homes), our technologies (such as social media), and our attitude towards work (i.e. careerism and the false promise of busyness) are no longer affording us the same opportunities to connect as before.Monika Jiang warns us that “connection must not be consumed” and urges us to slow down to realise what it is that we need and long for – and to be able to give our undivided attention to the people around us. Through examples such as the Offline Club in the Netherlands and the Human Library in Denmark, we can perhaps start to shape new (and old) communities. Because when we return to ourselves, we can also return to the world – and the understanding that we are not separate from nature but rather a part of it. <div> </div> 2024-08-27T13:01:57+00:00 yes 712 2024 2024 time trust and wisdom https://theconference.twentythree.com/gustavo-nogueira-de-menezes-from https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103982723 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/103982723/2f927a435109d99cebc59e6ff74d0000/video_medium/gustavo-nogueira-de-menezes-from-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/103982723/2f927a435109d99cebc59e6ff74d0000/small/gustavo-nogueira-de-menezes-from-thumbnail.jpg Gustavo Nogueira de Menezes from Time, Trust and Wisdom “We are the time travelers we’ve been waiting for”.Gustavo Nogueira de Menezes – Gust for short – founder of Temporality Lab, takes us on a whirling tour of wisdom on the philosophy of time and temporality. Or should we say, temporalities. For every society has had distinct experiences of being, doing and existing in their relationship with time. Take the very calendars we use – 12 months of varying lengths for some, and lunar cycles for others.“I don’t have time!” We’ve all heard – or said – the refrain. In response, Gust asks, “How can we think of the future if we are so exhausted consuming the present?” Gust, who received appropriately timely birthday wishes from the crowd at The Conference, explains the concept of time was colonised and we were taught to evolve in a single narrative. A decolonial approach is possible in which we embrace the pluriversal nature of the concept, by recognising the ancestral and contemporary as equally important and intertwined. Instead of erasing what has been done before, our origins can teach us how to innovate and be ‘ancestors of the future’. <div> </div> 2024-08-27T13:01:14+00:00 yes 968 2024 2024 time trust and wisdom https://theconference.twentythree.com/dan-shefet-from-shifting-systems https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103982420 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/103982420/0d12e46abf1451bba997ce86b565c520/video_medium/dan-shefet-from-shifting-systems-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/103982420/0d12e46abf1451bba997ce86b565c520/small/dan-shefet-from-shifting-systems-thumbnail.jpg Dan Shefet from Shifting Systems What connects Leonardo DiCaprio with the Grateful Dead, a 16th century Dutch diplomat, and a tech CEO recently arrested in a French airport. To answer we have to zoom out and look back. Ten years after three days ago, the last decade of the old millennium, revolutionary 1789, and further back still. Where did we come from and where are we going?Dan Shefet is a lawyer, specialising in European law and Human Rights as they apply to tech. Dan highlights the critical junctures where domestic law and fundamental rights intersect, points of conflicts catalysed by the explosive growth of tech and the international high seas of cyberspace. Are social media sites responsible for the content they host? At which point does the right to be forgotten contravene the right to free speech? And what about Leo?

She challenges us to confront a deeply embedded paradigm—the "Twin Transition" of sustainability and digitalization.She covers three aspects. First, she critiques how we define environmental impact as caused by CO2, ignoring the other serious issues this oversimplified focus creates. It’s a convenient narrative that silences dissenting voices, labeling them "anti-climate."Then she asks, "Who really benefits?" and exposes the power dynamics at play—who’s included, who’s excluded, and who’s left with the waste. And finally she ask, “If we shifted this system to its idealized end state - full “green” and digital transition - what is its vision? She leaves us with a haunting thought: Even if we achieve a full "green" digital utopia, who decides what's acceptable? Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable, and maybe we need to sit with that discomfort, face the complexity, and—most importantly—be honest.<div> </div> 2024-08-27T12:21:13+00:00 yes 1360 2024 2024 shifting systems https://theconference.twentythree.com/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-2 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103979440 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/103979440/479bdb1306c99b49d6c53fbc43ebdc4c/video_medium/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-2-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/103979440/479bdb1306c99b49d6c53fbc43ebdc4c/small/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-2-thumbnail.jpg Johanna Koljonen - Opening Remarks from The Conference 2024 Beloved The Conference moderator Johanna Koljonen opens the 2024 edition with restating the question Joshua Idehen asked in his performance: How did you get here?

If you wonder what plants sound like – check out this talk. After a guided visualisation, where we imagine going back to a state of being before our human form – we see ourselves as plants. But what is your texture, your aroma – as a plant?Jemma believes we can design futures beyond our perceived limitations if we engage with more-than-human life. Plants make up 87% of life on our planet, so why shouldn’t we listen to them? There is proof that plants have agency, not only intelligence – they are active. By not listening to them we risk abusing them, which will ultimately lead to us abusing ourselves. Jemma encourages you to ask yourself what you're not hearing or seeing. There is so much to learn when we don’t even fully comprehend our own consciousness as humans. When we start to include all forms of life, we begin to see that we have been guilty of ”brain chauvinism” for much too long.

Dr. John De La Parra (he/him) invites us to decode the magic and mystery of our food, challenging the conventional ways we understand its composition and impact. He argues there is a deep knowledge often overlooked when we rely solely on the scientific data provided by traditional nutrition labels and composition databases. The reality is that our food contains thousands of complex chemical compounds, each with different properties and effects on our bodies. Plants, he explains, are constantly producing unique compounds as a defense mechanism, many of which have surprising benefits for human health. These secondary metabolites add layers of mystery and magic to what we consume daily.By understanding the complex chemistry of our foods and the effects of agricultural practices, we can create a more just and informed global food system that benefits both health and the environment.<div> </div> 2024-08-27T11:19:56+00:00 yes 1369 2024 2024 planting the seeds https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-planting-the-seeds-with-jemma https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103979242 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/103979242/fef5c57ce35597267392bc9be86a9934/video_medium/qa-planting-the-seeds-with-jemma-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/103979242/fef5c57ce35597267392bc9be86a9934/small/qa-planting-the-seeds-with-jemma-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Planting the Seeds with Jemma Foster and John De La Parra The Q&A from the session Planting the Seeds with Jemma Foster and John De La Parra 2024-08-27T11:16:46+00:00 yes 689 2024 2024 planting the seeds https://theconference.twentythree.com/joshua-idehen-how-did-i-get-here https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=103979184 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/103979184/f66d46ce879b62683f3e94e126af4eac/video_medium/joshua-idehen-how-did-i-get-here-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/103979184/f66d46ce879b62683f3e94e126af4eac/small/joshua-idehen-how-did-i-get-here-thumbnail.jpg Joshua Idehen – How Did I Get Here?

We all create data. And all data is created by people. Ovetta Sampson wants us to remember this, both in order to centre humanity but also to clarify the vulnerabilities of data. We are biased, so the data we create is infused with biases as well. Whether it is by the sin of omission or the use of inequitable variables, traumatised datasets manifest in real world situations such as applying for a bank loan or decisions made on housing and education. Ovetta urges particular caution for the encounters between humans and machines in the era of AI and machine learning. It's not Skynet, not yet, but ceding decision making responsibility to such systems can lead to harmful consequences. The best way of countering these resides in responsible, human-centred design frameworks which capture the minimum viable data, maintain balance in the exchange of what people give and what they receive, and include iterative privacy by default. Ovetta ends with a rigorous set of responsible design practices to combat the amplification of our human biases by AI systems.<div> </div> 2023-08-31T09:44:44+00:00 yes 1156 2023 2023 ai humanity (ai)mplified https://theconference.twentythree.com/neef-rehman-machine-forgetting https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88204086 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88204086/ac742c32d796cb51af676e496708ddf8/video_medium/neef-rehman-machine-forgetting-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88204086/ac742c32d796cb51af676e496708ddf8/small/neef-rehman-machine-forgetting-thumbnail.jpg Neef Rehman - Machine Forgetting: Memory as Instruction & the Fallacy of Time “The anthropomorphisation of AI is not the way to go. It is more interesting to look at how that impacts our interaction and perception of time.” What does time look like for machines? Do machines understand time the way humans perceive it? And what happens when we rely on machines that have their own view of the world and on us? Neef Rehman discusses how the concept of time is unique to us and shaped by the people around us. But in an era of increasing interdependence, time as we know it — fluid, fallible and social — is challenged by generative, non-reliable agents that blur the past and the future.  Machine Forgetting is a phenomenon that we need to remind ourselves more of, argues Neef. Why? As we rely on our extended network of technology and learned machines to remind us of memories or events, we must accept that these agents are not as shiny as they present themselves. They are messy, biased and will forget things — just like humans. So let’s not spend time feeling gaslit by these agents but radically accept that no one has certainty over memory.<div> </div> 2023-08-31T09:40:19+00:00 yes 976 2023 2023 memory in the machine https://theconference.twentythree.com/laura-herman-the-human-creative https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88204003 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/88204003/33c2e83c3545b59455a472a84e31878d/video_medium/laura-herman-the-human-creative-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/88204003/33c2e83c3545b59455a472a84e31878d/small/laura-herman-the-human-creative-thumbnail.jpg Laura Herman - The Human Creative Director: Remixing, Seeing, Curating “What would you make if you did not have to generate it?” Global platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok enable creatives to show their work to wider audiences. However, these platforms also operate using algorithms that determine which content appears in users' feeds and what remains unseen.  This dynamic has significant implications: firstly, algorithms replace the work that elite institutions such as museums and art galleries traditionally have done. We tend to explore what grabs our attention instead of spending time with art pieces that might need more time to examine and understand. Secondly, recommendation systems influence the way creatives show their work. Collaborators in Laura’s projects shared that they sometimes publish works that will perform well but not necessarily challenge them as artists or show their best work.  “How would you describe your taste to a machine?” This has an influence on our perception of the world and on the evolving role of humans as creators. Laura believes generative AI tools can be seen as an additional tool in the creatives’ toolbox. Along with this, there is a shift of focus from production to curation. Coming up with ideas and thoughtful concepts is becoming more crucial than the production process itself as this can be (partially or entirely) assisted by generative AI tools. Taste and critically selecting criterias will become sought-after creative skills. She closes her talk with provoking questions like how art pieces look different depending on who they were aimed to be created for.<div> </div> 2023-08-31T09:37:51+00:00 yes 921 2023 ai humanity (ai)mplified https://theconference.twentythree.com/kristoffer-orum-even-images-that https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88203915 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968568/88203915/52e292ee0e5f83402df3b95dc9bf6aa9/video_medium/kristoffer-orum-even-images-that-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968568/88203915/52e292ee0e5f83402df3b95dc9bf6aa9/small/kristoffer-orum-even-images-that-thumbnail.jpg Kristoffer Ørum – Even Images That You Know To Be False Affect You Kristoffer Ørum finds satisfaction in taking a particular technology that is meant for something else and misusing it. In his current unfinished Instagram project that unfolds over time, the artist uses AI to create a version of history. The generated pictures combine 90s hip-hop culture, the Danish worker movement, fishermen's culture, and the health care system. But the more you look at it, the more you notice its imperfections. That is Kristoffer’s way of imagining and reimagining the past. Why? Because any discussion of the past is a discussion of the future.We need to rediscover our own imagination. Kristoffer criticises the lack of imaginary futures and our incapability to get out of the future narratives dictated by tech giants. Also, the “horrible shitshow” that is social media, where we constantly get bombarded with fake and manipulated images, contributes to that problem. So he hopes that with projects like his that play with past, future, and (re)imagination, we can regain the power to imagine futures not defined by tech monopolies.<div> </div> 2023-08-31T09:34:47+00:00 yes 1084 2023 2023 creative assemblages https://theconference.twentythree.com/kader-bagli-bringing-nuanced https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88203715 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/88203715/263fb172ba081715360d29c95d7bf73a/video_medium/kader-bagli-bringing-nuanced-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/88203715/263fb172ba081715360d29c95d7bf73a/small/kader-bagli-bringing-nuanced-thumbnail.jpg Kader Bagli – Bringing Nuanced Futures to Life “We all deserve to be seen in visual languages. We already have the tool, now it’s about taking action” Could merging VFX and AI create a fully represented world? Kader Bagli certainly thinks so. Working at the intersection of creativity, imagination and technology, she is exposed to a lack of diversity on a daily basis. Our current visual storytelling landscape doesn’t celebrate cultural diversity across all layers of society – we are good at marginalising groups instead of normalizing them. But the good news is: we already have the tools to change that; we just need to put it into action to unstuck ourselves.  With AI putting a halt to our lack of imagination and VFX offering storytellers new perspectives, the future looks hopeful. Because we all deserve to be seen — on screen and off — with dignity, humanity and no judgment. So, what are we waiting for if that’s what it takes to change our visual language to a more inclusive one?<div> </div> 2023-08-31T09:31:10+00:00 yes 1065 2023 2023 creative assemblages https://theconference.twentythree.com/charlotte-hogberg-the-doctor-is https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88203554 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/88203554/c2bc5d032669fb4fbfc812fd5812ef78/video_medium/charlotte-hogberg-the-doctor-is-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/88203554/c2bc5d032669fb4fbfc812fd5812ef78/small/charlotte-hogberg-the-doctor-is-thumbnail.jpg Charlotte Högberg - The Doctor is In: Assistive Intelligence in Healthcare How can AI be used for the common good or more precisely in healthcare? Charlotte’s work explores what futures are possible and desirable but also what we are at risk of losing. AI's role in healthcare can have harmful effects but also huge potential benefits. She emphasises the need to raise vital questions and consider consequences. Awareness of nuances, understanding risks and avoiding unethical technology is key because this touches upon high stake decisions (literally about life and death).   “We need to be in the often uncomfortable spaces in between - at least for a while” Constant critical engagement and trust calibration is needed because there are no quick fixes for these new emerging issues - for example how much can we augment until humans are only operators - and is this something we want to strive towards?

That poses an urgent question: What do we do with the digital dead?Since the agricultural revolution and the settlement of humans, the dead have been around us. They are a portal to our past, and we continue to feel connected to them. Due to the digital revolution, the people who die now also leave a digital footprint. That leads to a question of morality: What do we do with this enormous amount of data? Who owns it, who accesses it, who deletes it? Who can profit from it economically? All of this is more than a question of individual user history but the actual heritage of the 21st century. So, how do we treat this primary source of information that we pass down to the future?Should we really let 1-2 tech companies gatekeep the access to our collective digital past? Should we grant families access to our data after we die? And can we influence which version of us will be displayed after our death?

Just as AI systems predict and fill gaps, our brains do so too, drawing from a wide range of learned behaviours, experiences and beliefs. Both entities heavily rely on their training data: AI on diverse datasets, humans on factors like personal histories, culture and upbringing. Of course, creativity is not only a generative optimisation tool developed by our homo-sapien ancestors in order to survive. The frictions and surprises that occur in the creative process provide valuable data for better informing our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. Nick uses the metaphor of a therapist to reframe the potentials of human-AI collaboration. Just as a therapist does, these tools can help humans to unpack, twist and turn concepts to aid better understanding and make meaningful breakthroughs. The results are often new and surprising (the essence of what creativity is all about.) Nick ends with some hopeful predictions for creative expression and that it can lead to more creative, inspired and poetic results. Ultimately, AI can help us to better learn what it means to be human. 2023-08-30T17:28:35+00:00 yes 2729 2023 2023 Keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-1 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88190698 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88190698/305fcf50e6d12a13681dd990426db7ab/video_medium/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-1-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88190698/305fcf50e6d12a13681dd990426db7ab/small/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-1-thumbnail.jpg Johanna Koljonen – Closing Remarks Johanna Koljonen closes 2023's The Conference with a recap how we as participators have tried to move away from oppositional binaries but  also reflects that how these binaries also work as an aid to understand the world. Not only that, we are also able to shift and remix the the meanings of these opposites. Remembering a recent conversation at The Conference where she got to question "what is professionalism?" she suggests that maybe we, when we allows us to be human, discovers a lot useful skills we can use in what we do. If we can celebrate our differences, our personal stories and backgrounds in our work life maybe we also find new perspectives and tools to create the change we wish to see. 2023-08-30T17:28:16+00:00 yes 898 2023 2023 https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-tending-to-transformation https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88189166 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968576/88189166/03d15ad2040f950d6528e8743ac77785/video_medium/qa-tending-to-transformation-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968576/88189166/03d15ad2040f950d6528e8743ac77785/small/qa-tending-to-transformation-thumbnail.jpg Q&A – Tending To Transformation Q&A from the sessions Tending To Transformation – For Creative Leaders Who Stay With The Trouble with Pernilla Glaser (Author, Educator), Lydia Slaby (Community Leader and Author) and Holley M.

Having worked for many years digiitising handwritten scripts from South Asian regions, he shares some of the implications of digitally missing and incomplete alphabets. While the global population is growing very quickly, the number of spoken languages is simultaneously shrinking. As education and other systems become standardised, languages that aren’t even properly documented don’t stand a chance. With examples from both India and indigenous Canadian societies, Bilak explains how linguists and designers need to leverage technology if we want to be able to save some of these languages and scripts. Because if they disappear we risk losing a lot of localised knowledge. In Canada, Syllabics include a group of 40 different languages. Several of them are incomplete on computers, meaning some people cannot even spell their names. And in India… no one even knows how many languages there are in total. Optimisation of font software and the Unicode framework are vital for these marginalised languages. Working with the community is the only way to make things happen, says Bilak. One such result is the <a href="https://www.typotheque.com/blog/november-a-comprehensive-type-system-for-south-asia">November Type System</a>: a versatile and accessible collection of fonts based on the needs of readers of hundreds of languages in South Asia. 2023-08-30T16:23:05+00:00 yes 785 2023 2023 Doing Equity https://theconference.twentythree.com/pernilla-glaser-heart-matters https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88189084 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88189084/32de283068bd913d5e1ebb7036343dab/video_medium/pernilla-glaser-heart-matters-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88189084/32de283068bd913d5e1ebb7036343dab/small/pernilla-glaser-heart-matters-thumbnail.jpg Pernilla Glaser – Heart Matters “We all start out as artists”, Pernilla Glaser explains. After all, most of us know how the snow eaten from a mitten tastes. We started out as open for experimentation, doing weird things, feeling and exploring the world and the relationships around us. Pernilla invites us to find ways back into this state, and to put more attention to our heart and not just our brain. The best way of hosting a playdate between the heart and brain is by actually inviting more play into our lives and reminding ourselves that we are always part of a web of relationships. Play can help us imagine and actualise a different world, “a world you can imagine is reality halfway there.” Sure, our current society is not particularly great in supporting us in doing weird, playful and loving things but Pernilla explains that play can create reality. “Matters of the heart can take us to the heart of the matter”, meaning that if we can let our heart support and guide us through the challenges of the polycrisis we find ourselves in, we will  be better equipped to manage the many webs of messy, difficult and complex relations we are intertwined with. 2023-08-30T16:22:25+00:00 yes 1017 2023 2023 Tending to Transformation https://theconference.twentythree.com/lydia-slaby-soft-leadership https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88189042 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968579/88189042/d297ef9c9ed4d2608dbefe3205bdfbb5/video_medium/lydia-slaby-soft-leadership-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968579/88189042/d297ef9c9ed4d2608dbefe3205bdfbb5/small/lydia-slaby-soft-leadership-thumbnail.jpg Lydia Slaby – Soft Leadership Learned the Hard Way “Take time to pay attention. Not everything can be solved in 15 minutes, let it take the time it takes”“Stay in the hard and uncomfortable conversations”<div> Lydia Slaby learned the hard way that to live a life that is worthwhile, you need to find space for the heart and the brain. At the end of a long-list of achievements, and on a trajectory towards immense corporate success, Lydia suffered a cancer diagnosis that shifted her understanding of achievement. Moving from the corporate lawyer world, toward community based leadership, she found the beauty in letting a person be fully human, all the time. You, or your colleagues, will go through things in your lives that forces you to change. Life is, and will be messy and humans are and will continue to be imperfect, and as leaders you need to let them be just that. You won’t always be able to receive total clarity from someone, because sometimes it just isn’t there. Instead of viewing people and workers as machines of productivity, listen, learn, and see the whole of them. This will take time, but in the end letting the emotional, intuitive instincts blend with the rational, and controlling, will create leadership that lets people be people. </div> 2023-08-30T16:21:36+00:00 yes 1025 2023 2023 tending to transformation https://theconference.twentythree.com/holley-m-kholi-murchison-towards https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88189012 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88189012/036410ef584b54d83ed0016fd4800fcd/video_medium/holley-m-kholi-murchison-towards-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88189012/036410ef584b54d83ed0016fd4800fcd/small/holley-m-kholi-murchison-towards-thumbnail.jpg Holley M.

Holley began in their own journey of resignation from a toxic workplace, to found Oratory Glory, and has continued to work in spreading stories and helping people find meaning in their life and work. Many people find that they don’t fit into the boxes that those around them expect them to fit in, causing them to shrink themselves. Their ideas and their aspirations. Finding your own narrative can bring you back towards finding meaning in your life and in your work.Holley delves into the importance of doing the work on yourself, in order to find self-actualisation in your other professional life. Reflecting  on why work is important to you, what aspect of yourself you want to develop, and what your heart is yearning to do, will all move you towards a place of where we understand who we are. This leads us to becoming a better person in any place of work or interaction.

From menstruation to menopause as well as breast cancer – she states that there are still a lot of stigmas and shame attached to talking about these health concerns. Which is made even more complicated with the language boundaries as well as the unavailability of words in the different ethnic languages. “Why is that women who look like me and sound like me are not being listened to?” When she gets together with women from these communities, such as at a mosque, she often hears stories about how doctors assume that menopausal symptoms don’t apply to them. Specifically, the mental symptoms of menopause – such as brain fogs, being forgetful, etc.- are often ignored and the women are given antidepressants instead. So how does one address this gap of knowledge in female health that exists not only in the Asian and black communities in the UK, but also in other cultures in the world? What steps can one take to normalize this important discussion in inclusive ways? One of Dr. Nighat Arif’s creative answers to this is through her use of TikTok alongside the use of memes and gifs to reach out, educate, and engage in not just English, but also Urdu and Punjabi. 2023-08-30T16:19:16+00:00 yes 783 2023 2023 Doing Equity https://theconference.twentythree.com/caroline-bollen-design-with-and https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88188947 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/88188947/d243b2234b3f8bd6e325160a6dbed5c5/video_medium/caroline-bollen-design-with-and-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/88188947/d243b2234b3f8bd6e325160a6dbed5c5/small/caroline-bollen-design-with-and-thumbnail.jpg Caroline Bollen – Design With and For Empathy “Empathy is the balance between identification and differentiation”  In this session ‘Doing Equity’, we dive into the aspects and practices that can be adopted in order to materialize equity in different settings. An interdisciplinary researcher at Delft University of Technology, Caroline Bollen whose research focus revolves around how to best understand empathy in a society where communication is more and more mediated by technologies.Through dissecting what empathy connotes in multiple definitions, we find ourselves in her conceptualization of empathy which oscillates in a state of balancing identification and differences. She further explains that as a society, we have the tendency to reduce empathy to certain social, narrow norms, such as good or bad.Utilizing Reddit’s ‘Am I the Asshole’ subreddit as an example of how technology can be used to facilitate collective constructive feedback, it gives the chance for users to connect, empathize, and imagine themselves in the shoes of others.“Communication technology is like meta-empathy.” 2023-08-30T16:18:40+00:00 yes 777 2023 2023 Doing Equity https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-setting-stories-free https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88174439 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/88174439/ec832db67b68ed711c6bac307f670d2b/video_medium/qa-setting-stories-free-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/88174439/ec832db67b68ed711c6bac307f670d2b/small/qa-setting-stories-free-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - Setting Stories Free Q&A from the session Setting Stories Free – How We Tell The Tales That Move Us with Priyanka Borpujari (Award-winning journalist), Bjarke Calvin, Sophia Jörgensen, Iben Völund (Duckling), Building a legacy for 21st-century journalists Marie Kilg (Deutsche Welle). 2023-08-30T12:45:42+00:00 yes 1014 2023 2023 Setting Stories Free https://theconference.twentythree.com/priyanka-borpujari-empowering https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88174407 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/88174407/497b64d56de883ad8fdbf94aae2e012a/video_medium/priyanka-borpujari-empowering-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/88174407/497b64d56de883ad8fdbf94aae2e012a/small/priyanka-borpujari-empowering-thumbnail.jpg Priyanka Borpujari - Empowering Complex Narratives “In every conflict the first thing to go is truth, and the first killed victim is the messenger.”“Editors are not interested in mundane stories because we have stopped listening entirely”<div>Who decides which stories get to be told? Who defines what an important story actually is? Priyanka Borjupari shares stories of her experiences as a journalist in all parts of the world, and her views on how storytelling affects the way that we view what’s important and what is not. Many aspects of our world, like countries and the people around us, are ascribed meaning whether we want them to or not. Those meanings create presumptive stories that inform us how things are, and tend to make us forget that what actually connects us is the mundane. We all have a similar aspiration to have a better life for our loved ones and ourselves, and that is what ultimately connects us. Current gatekeepers of stories, like large magazines, newspapers and editors, all decide what’s important based on their presumptions, but what about telling stories of the mundane human experiences? The future of journalism should allow for the nuances in being human. After the pandemic, an event that connected and affected all of humanity, we have a unique opportunity to fight and uplift new types of stories, and let people and nations be many things.</div> 2023-08-30T12:44:48+00:00 yes 1083 2023 2023 Setting Stories Free https://theconference.twentythree.com/marie-kilg-collaborating-with https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88174330 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/88174330/dade740dd51d4d130907d0eae2861feb/video_medium/marie-kilg-collaborating-with-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/88174330/dade740dd51d4d130907d0eae2861feb/small/marie-kilg-collaborating-with-thumbnail.jpg Marie Kilg - Collaborating with More-Than-Human Columnists Anic is not like any other writer. Anic is the first non-human columnist and while Anic is not a human they still have parents. “We saw ourselves comfortable in the role of parents, as we wanted to grant Anic as much independence as possible but we still had to create certain rules that had to be maintained.” Marie Kilg is one these parents and her collaborators created Anic as a sort of an investigation looking at what it would mean if an AI writes articles, in her talk she shared their learning and reflections. Through this fictional exploration of Anic the AI-columnist, the team realized that despite what many of us may fear, AI cannot write stories. “There is a lot of human labor at every step of the process”. And while it is impressive what level of poetry and emotions an AI generated text can entail, “that is still just humans feeling the human feelings'', Marie explains. We as humans project our emotions onto an object that does not have any. Furthermore Mari underlines that AI does not have any agency that still belongs to the people who use it. And while it is easy to anthropomorphise machine learning algorithms, and attach some kind of intent to it, we humans are responsible for each step of the process in one way or another. AI is a tool and we should treat it like that. 2023-08-30T12:43:17+00:00 yes 859 2023 2023 setting stories free https://theconference.twentythree.com/bjarke-calvin-sophia-jorgensen https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88174301 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968561/88174301/dd756493d8596b9eea647ab23028cbc1/video_medium/bjarke-calvin-sophia-jorgensen-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968561/88174301/dd756493d8596b9eea647ab23028cbc1/small/bjarke-calvin-sophia-jorgensen-thumbnail.jpg Bjarke Calvin, Sophia Jörgensen, Iben Völund – Building a Legacy for 21st-century Journalists “Our world is connected by stories” says Bjarke Calvin. For him stories are not just a way to share information but a way of nurturing human connection. So what to do with the fact that news stories we interact with are more and more defined by social media? Tech-giants that dominate the media space, do not foster storytelling as their primary goal is generating advertisements. . To free stories from the linear, centralised format that we are currently trapped in, we need to hack the current system. “Before news was just something we consumed, now we got to be part of it.” explains Iben Völund, a high school student and collaborator of Bjarke. Using the Duckling App the students wrote and published their own stories.Iben and Sophia explained that reading a story created by someone their age is more interesting. They are more  directly related to their own experiences.  Packaging stories for the younger generations is important. As the students explain during the talk, online news articles look boring for them, “there needs to be more images, videos and probably some special effects.”Making the stories more accessible means finding strategies better than paywalls to curate news, and learning from other ways of finalizing news stories. The Duckling team believes that if we could wrap the stories differently, it would give agency to the younger generation. News does not need to be boring and fear-inducing, it can be hopeful.  2023-08-30T12:42:40+00:00 yes 1063 2023 2023 setting stories free https://theconference.twentythree.com/community-led-practices-to-build https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88169913 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/88169913/54414be02016ab734dcd6a7ad082d063/video_medium/community-led-practices-to-build-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/88169913/54414be02016ab734dcd6a7ad082d063/small/community-led-practices-to-build-thumbnail.jpg Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need “Injustice it’s not rooted in computing. It’s been happening for hundreds of years and it’s still being imposed through centuries in violence through colonialism.” “Before seeking new design solutions, we look for what is already working at the community level”. This is one of the 10 principles for design justice that Costanza-Chock presents in her keynote, which is essential listening for middle-class gender-normative designers. We might be blind to the burdens imparted on less privileged individuals, but if we think more about the implications our devices, interfaces and systems have on everyone, we can get far. That’s the message that Costanza-Chock has for us. There’s no one “best” approach to design problems – “I’m not looking for the systems to be less biased”, they say. Because we’re living in an historical time where there’s a slow sea-change taking place. The<a href="https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/4605/Design-JusticeCommunity-Led-Practices-to-Build-the"> Design Justice</a> book from 2020 presents concrete examples of how marginalised peoples are disproportionately burdened by existing systems and technologies. Designers, activists and developers alike can learn from and be inspired by the Design Justice Network to engage in liberating system design. Because the root of the issue is the structural inequality that reproduces this ‘matrix of domination’, as Patricia Hill Collins defined it in Black Feminist Thought. There are huge interlocking systems of oppression (from capitalism to white supremacy) and design justice is a concrete framework for beginning to tackle these age-old issues. 2023-08-30T11:27:38+00:00 yes 2853 2023 2023 Keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/bitoi-ingen-fara https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88168194 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88168194/175f46f7c7698c90628caf44081ea093/video_medium/bitoi-ingen-fara-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88168194/175f46f7c7698c90628caf44081ea093/small/bitoi-ingen-fara-thumbnail.jpg BITOI – Ingen fara BITOI stands for Bass is the original instrument.

Their utopian and dystopian binaries now provide fertile inspiration for police-state-aesthetic VC pitch decks and a cluster of ideologies known as TESCREAL: Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, and Longtermism. Moreover, many of these past narratives have not recognised the richness and diversity of knowledge, experiences and worldviews. </div><div> </div><div>"Those who control the fantasy, control the future."</div><div> </div><div>Monika Bielskyte identifies the cost of such grand visions, whose utopianism has historically had its roots in exclusionary and eugenic principles. For a more positive and productive way of seeing the future, Monika’s vision of Protopia is radically hopeful and inclusive.

No one is independent of the fact that our existence is directly dependent on the care between human and nonhuman communities. Ledama shared a story of hope, the case of Kuruwitu, a fishing community in Kenya that managed to heal itself from impacts of overfishing, coral bleaching and climate change. They did this through collaborative care, and harnessing the collective intelligence of their community.Ledama mentioned some key success factors that led to Kuruwitu healing the devastation of marine life they had experienced, one of which was knowing the community. Understanding who lives there, allowing everyone to contribute, and harnessing the knowledge of their shared environment. Opening a dialogue with marine ecology through ocean data as well as having a sensitive understanding of the incentive models of the human community in Kuruwitu created caring approaches for both. Holistic solutions require collective intelligence, which in turn requires multiple experiences to be heard. <div> </div> 2023-08-29T16:39:48+00:00 yes 873 2023 2023 enacting care https://theconference.twentythree.com/debbie-chachra-how-infrastructure https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145938 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/88145938/480832a388c3fdfedfd4bd1e6d3e1609/video_medium/debbie-chachra-how-infrastructure-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/88145938/480832a388c3fdfedfd4bd1e6d3e1609/small/debbie-chachra-how-infrastructure-thumbnail.jpg Debbie Chachra – How Infrastructure Works “Energy is general purpose freedom.” “The earth is in a void, every atom has to come from some place, and go somewhere.“Infrastructure might not be the first thing we think of when we hear the word “care”, but these  systems are manifestations of how we ensure quality of life as a society. Debbie Chachra refers to a quote of Amartya Sen - “We want wealth not because it's desirable on its own, but because it gives freedom to actually do what gives life value.” In her talk Debbie pointed out that the wealth of a country can be measured by the amount of money put into infrastructure. In fact a satellite image of the earth in some ways reflects wealth simply by showing the amount of artificial light present. Debbie Chachra sees artificial light as pure agency as it allows us to do things we would otherwise not be able to do. If we take it a step further, energy is a general purpose freedom as having access to it allows you to exist with ease in your day to day. The issue is that the main source for energy we have harnessed are fossil fuels bringing us in the state of climate crisis we find ourselves in today. The speaker invited us to take a look at our lovely planet as a place that gets an immense amount of energy from the sun every day and also a place that exists in a void. Meaning every atom has to come from some place, and go somewhere. Debbie Chachra asks us to rethink the idea of energy that is limited, and the ideas of material resources that are not. To create caring infrastructure futures we need to commit to decentralized infrastructure for regenerative energy and build careful relationships to material flows. 2023-08-29T16:39:00+00:00 yes 957 2023 2023 enacting care https://theconference.twentythree.com/becky-lyon-a-carrier-bag-for https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145903 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/88145903/34a4e0a384e41802fd0c06e532e88d74/video_medium/becky-lyon-a-carrier-bag-for-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/88145903/34a4e0a384e41802fd0c06e532e88d74/small/becky-lyon-a-carrier-bag-for-thumbnail.jpg Becky Lyon – A Carrier Bag for Care-Full, and Co-flourishing Decision Making “The master's house cannot be rebuilt with master's tools.““A physical shift with our bodies can shift how we think about a problem.” In her talk, Becky Lyon reminded us that we need to get back to our bodies, in order to create a world where we can thrive. In the dominant European American system the body has been estranged in favor of the rational, the evidence-based and the narrow. It caused us to step outside of ourselves, placing the notion within us that nature is outside of ourselves. What Becky encourages us to do, is to return to the body. If we reintroduce the body to make the change that we want to see, it can return our intuition closer to our core selves. Perhaps this can alter the gated and guarded power structures that currently exist.As a part of the toolkit for care that Becky presents, she encourages you to map the “enmessments”, meaning to map all the interconnections, flows and entanglements surrounding you. Understanding the complexity allows for more care-full decisions. The audience was at one point invited to act out an act of care, opening space for lightness, humor and laughter. Embracing joy and play brings us back to our bodies, and helps us enact care into our daily lives. Lastly, as Becky said, practice here is key, so go out and do it.<div> </div> 2023-08-29T16:38:10+00:00 yes 1050 2023 2023 enacting care https://theconference.twentythree.com/timothee-parrique-how-to-blow-up https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145332 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/88145332/8c111c6820661949d1bb20cec6542126/video_medium/timothee-parrique-how-to-blow-up-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968567/88145332/8c111c6820661949d1bb20cec6542126/small/timothee-parrique-how-to-blow-up-thumbnail.jpg Timothée Parrique – How to Blow Up an Economy When everyone else calls for economic growth, innovation, and addition, Timothée Parrique demands demolition, sabotage, and removal. Our strive towards infinite growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. So far, no economy in the world has managed to grow its economy without overshooting the planetary boundaries. That’s why we need an economic strategy based on subtractions, not additions. And we need to rethink the economy's purpose, as growth tells us nothing about prosperity and well-being. So, is de-growth the solution?Timothée advocates for a planned, selective, and temporary downscaling of production and consumption. Mainly because the alternative, growth-obsessed capitalism, is a total collapse. And if you want to lose weight, you would want to diet gradually over time rather than chop off a leg, right? Let's come in like a wrecking ball and discuss how an economy can prosper without growth — because that is the ultimate innovation. 2023-08-29T16:25:22+00:00 yes 921 2023 2023 entangled economics https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-wise-cities https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145244 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88145244/597e9a89bf7283a3af2de552b05b5fef/video_medium/qa-wise-cities-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88145244/597e9a89bf7283a3af2de552b05b5fef/small/qa-wise-cities-thumbnail.jpg Q&A – Wise Cities Q&A from the session Wise Cities – Architecting Vibrant Connectivity with Liselott Stenfeldt (Gehl), Ling Tan (Kakilang,Umbrellium), Arnaud Grignard (Université de Lyon / MIT Media Lab).  2023-08-29T16:23:21+00:00 yes 445 2023 2023 city wise cities https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-entangled-economies https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145217 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/88145217/b0543da788697393d2c43dba257132f4/video_medium/qa-entangled-economies-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/88145217/b0543da788697393d2c43dba257132f4/small/qa-entangled-economies-thumbnail.jpg Q&A – Entangled Economies Q&A from the session Entangled Economies - Creating Value with Generosity and Interdependence with Jenny Grettve (Anon, When!When!), Timothee Parrique (Lund University), Eduardo Castello Ferrer (MIT). 2023-08-29T16:22:33+00:00 yes 459 2023 2023 entangled economics - Jenny Grettve Timothee Parrique and Eduardo Castello Ferrer https://theconference.twentythree.com/liselott-stenfeldt-the-senses-of https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145191 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/88145191/21d900b0f5b4405bcb9fb0f12e2c2732/video_medium/liselott-stenfeldt-the-senses-of-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/88145191/21d900b0f5b4405bcb9fb0f12e2c2732/small/liselott-stenfeldt-the-senses-of-thumbnail.jpg Liselott Stenfeldt – The Senses of Belonging “People don’t change behaviour just because you tell them too. People need innovation in a public space to change” “Space and life goes together, and it's important to work with them together.” “Wise cities are making the invisible visible” and the ways we can make it visible means listening and looking at a variety of different data sources. Liselott Stenfeldt is the head of research and development at Gehl, a company which has been playing a leading role in understanding and supporting public places as a platform for community, life and culture to thrive. The main theme in Gehl's approach is to pay attention to complex stories places in the city have to tell us. Liselott pointed out that it is important to have a diversity of data sources and kinds of data we employ to understand how hot makes our cities more filled with life. It is important to look at traffic data we can get from satellites or sensors but it is also crucial to work with more emotional and subjective data of the people living in a place. Gehl has been developing different methods to incorporate both of these datasets in their work. In this talk Liselott Stenfeldt shows 3 use cases on how the invisible can be made visible by asking people to make pictures of urban spaces and describe their sense of belonging to them or to record the sound of daily life and the emotions connected. This type of data is not really easy to work with, but by combining it with other information it shows a bigger picture. It is even more significant if there is an opportunity to give a voice to people who usually are left out of how public spaces are designed. This provides a unique opportunity in making sure people can meet and spaces are filled with life. 2023-08-29T16:21:38+00:00 yes 856 2023 2023 city wise cities https://theconference.twentythree.com/ling-tan-why-participate https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145173 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/88145173/8a68be26d95019edc5a7c16da31fea75/video_medium/ling-tan-why-participate-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/88145173/8a68be26d95019edc5a7c16da31fea75/small/ling-tan-why-participate-thumbnail.jpg Ling Tan – Why Participate? “Work with people who disagree with you and with each other and still work together. This is where participation can begin.““Reflection to time and place is important to make people participate.”How do we get people to participate in creating the cities that they want? And once we do, how do we get them to act towards a common goal? These are some of the questions that Ling Tan works with on a daily basis and addressed in her talk.  In order to create collective action, meaning getting people working towards one common goal, it’s crucial that you are sensitive to what participants will actually get from providing their time. Will their community gain any benefits? If so, which ones? Another key aspect is having participants feel agency and ownership over the issue that they are trying to overcome, and then being a part of the solution. They want to be able to see and understand what results their efforts are yielding, and for that to happen they need to understand the problem. Ling pointed out that there needs to be more sensitivity to what kind of communities we are including and how. For example the climate movement in the UK is not really focusing on addressing different cultures present in the country. In the talk we see an example how the climate conversation can be shifted to by showing the example of the project Low Carbon Chinatown.To succeed in understanding how people in cities can contribute to creating the future Wise Cities, you need to embrace messiness. Go outside of your comfort zone, and meet people that are different from you, agree to disagree, and work with them anyway. This will broaden your understanding of not only the people who inhabit the city, but the issues that they are interested in solving. 2023-08-29T16:20:46+00:00 yes 766 2023 2023 city wise cities https://theconference.twentythree.com/jenny-grettve-feminist-economies https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145093 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/88145093/6b0af0a57b89cb718c0ab25c2d8d74d2/video_medium/jenny-grettve-feminist-economies-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/88145093/6b0af0a57b89cb718c0ab25c2d8d74d2/small/jenny-grettve-feminist-economies-thumbnail.jpg Jenny Grettve – Feminist Economies With severe catastrophes happening around us constantly - ecologically, economically, as well as socially - we tend to feel hopeless. But hopelessness is for the privileged. Our fear makes us hold on to things we already know instead of pursuing new things. We feel lost and want to think that crisis happens elsewhere - climate change does not affect me or my loved ones. But it actually does: When climate injustice happens somewhere, it happens everywhere. And as human beings, we have to act on it.For Jenny Grettve, the answer is kindness. Addressing problems caused by selfishness, like the climate crisis, calls for a philosophical and psychological approach. As human beings we need to be genuinely caring, always and everywhere, to create a supply chain of kindness. And we need to pursue a more feminist, matriarchy-based way of thinking in the economy. But how can we implement more kindness in our daily lives? And how can we pursue a more circular economy that is not based on hierarchies, domination, power, and wealth, but perceives everyone to be equally important? Let’s create the butterfly effect of kindness! 2023-08-29T16:18:58+00:00 yes 934 2023 2023 entangled economics https://theconference.twentythree.com/dr-eduardo-castello-ferrer https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88145032 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/88145032/c1750a945b3f2de860b958052b4898a2/video_medium/dr-eduardo-castello-ferrer-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/88145032/c1750a945b3f2de860b958052b4898a2/small/dr-eduardo-castello-ferrer-thumbnail.jpg Dr. Eduardo Castello Ferrer – Blockchain, Robotics and Economic Autonomy Have you ever met a self-employed autonomous robot artist? Introducing Gaka-chu ("painter" in Japanese), a 6-axis robot arm that creates artistic paintings of Japanese characters. While robots have historically been treated as labour, Gaka-chu explores the concept of claiming agency and economic autonomy using blockchain-based smart contracts. So, can robots actually maintain themselves? And if so, what implications do these economically autonomous robots have? Eduardo argues that instead of treating robots like tools, they have the potential to become peers. At the same time, robots, like Gaka-chu, now have access to economic resources without being part of traditional business entities.

The common thread for all examples was how this tool made it possible to use data visualisation to analyse patterns and potential outcomes when developing cities. By building physical representations of cities, and projecting data onto the city, it’s possible to visualise behaviours on a large scale, such as movements of people and vehicles, and alter them to analyse the effects. One of the shown examples was a project analysing the effects of air-quality on depending on the way people in a city commute, giving a clear visual and physical representation on what it entails to take the car, public transport or bikes.City planning can be quite abstract and complex and open-source tools like City Scope can help make the abstract more concrete. It can contribute to the democratisation of these types of analytics, and can be used as a way to communicate otherwise often overwhelming and complicated  data to new types of shareholders.But the most important thing that was pointed out, was that since this type of modelling is an open-source tool it’s available for everyone, at any time. These types of tools are available to us, so we should be using them as much as we possibly could in the planning of our cities. 2023-08-29T16:16:44+00:00 yes 972 2023 2023 city wise cities https://theconference.twentythree.com/cassie-robinson-emerging-futures https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88139353 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/88139353/768991fd14531c852bac71809d97ff28/video_medium/cassie-robinson-emerging-futures-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/88139353/768991fd14531c852bac71809d97ff28/small/cassie-robinson-emerging-futures-thumbnail.jpg Cassie Robinson – Emerging Futures: Patterning the Third Horizon Cassie Robinson Associate Director of Emerging Future at Joseph Rowntree Foundation“There’s always something growing and declining at the same time. I am ending and beginning at the same time.”From external events such as the pandemic to the hyper speed development of AI and tech to the increasingly urgent climate crisis discourses, how do we navigate ourselves in the midst of all these life-changing events? Are all changes – particularly the ones that liken to the ending of a cycle – inevitably bad?

Instead of taking a starting point in creating digital tools (which is often the case), Anne Kaun suggests looking into the frictions that emerge in the use of digital platforms and infrastructures. Anne stages a scene, drawn from her real-life research to exemplify marginal stories of problems with navigating digital platforms and services. Imagine a woman who struggles to submit additional information in a digital welfare service application. At the institution's service centre, she is instructed by the staff to click through the platform and follow the steps. Digital self-help, as they say. “Even with digital tools, life will never be a smooth ride”Stories and scenes like this, can show us discrepancies and imbalances of power, practices and opportunities. They are examples of situations when people are left out. Digital infrastructures have different functionalities and consequences for different people. The great intention of providing fully frictionless and smooth digital welfare services for everybody is simply not realistic as there will always be groups that will face inconveniences or limitations in using them. Instead of striving for a perfect solution that fits all, Anne suggests leveraging these frictions to collectively imagine a system that provides for diverse needs and capabilities. <div> </div> 2023-08-29T12:24:31+00:00 yes 811 2023 2023 imagining institutions https://theconference.twentythree.com/michael-slaby-on-the-possibility https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88129415 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88129415/cfe1bc982331ea7863e7b352f73ecfdc/video_medium/michael-slaby-on-the-possibility-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88129415/cfe1bc982331ea7863e7b352f73ecfdc/small/michael-slaby-on-the-possibility-thumbnail.jpg Michael Slaby – On the Possibility of a Utopi-Yin Path Forward What if the cracks in our social and civic institutions are not signs of collapse but the first signs of transformation? Let’s face it: We’ve been living in an overly masculine society focused on dominion, growth, labour as a source of dignity, achievement as our basis of meaning and productivity as our key to purpose. But it’s a tale as old as humankind — and one we’ve put on to ourselves as a survival mechanism. Now, it’s on us to stop being at odds with nature. It’s a role that no longer serves us as it keeps snapping back at us like a rubber band with anxiety and loneliness.Michael Slaby explores <a href="https://www.ursulakleguin.com/blog/97-utopiyin-utopiyang">Ursula K. Le Guin's path of Utopiyin and Utopiyang</a> as a way out. A new balance requires us to choose more feminine wisdom and leadership for now. Better yet, if we forgive ourselves for our estrangement and move ourselves back into nature’s systems, we can embrace the world through a lens of openness and connectedness. And that’s what being human is all about — isn’t it? 2023-08-29T11:14:53+00:00 yes 1969 2023 2023 https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-michael-slaby https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88129414 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88129414/47883d66c9b6d729885acd0ad52d6860/video_medium/qa-michael-slaby-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/88129414/47883d66c9b6d729885acd0ad52d6860/small/qa-michael-slaby-thumbnail.jpg Q&A – Michael Slaby Q&A from the keynote session with Michael Slaby (Avens, Harmony Labs) 2023-08-29T11:14:51+00:00 yes 520 2023 2023 Q&A 2023 https://theconference.twentythree.com/audrey-tang-alignment-assemblies https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88129353 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88129353/ec734e0bf6393dce4b4f1b736bde4a55/video_medium/audrey-tang-alignment-assemblies-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968570/88129353/ec734e0bf6393dce4b4f1b736bde4a55/small/audrey-tang-alignment-assemblies-thumbnail.jpg Audrey Tang – Alignment Assemblies and Collective Intelligence With the nuclear bombs detonating in 1945, Pandora’s box was unlocked. For Audrey Tang, Minister of Digital Affairs in Taiwan, Artificial Intelligence represents another box of Pandora that challenges us to think about how we can avoid the pitfalls for society and achieve collective global action. We as a society have a choice: Are we going to tumble into the abyss of abuse, manipulation, threat, cyber attacks, and deep fake, or are we going to embrace shared values, democracy, and global AI cooperation?Global AI governance, as pursued and advocated for by Audrey Tang and Taiwan, builds on consensus and public participation in policy-making, recognizing the role of AI for good purposes. Alignment Assemblies, a pilot project of the Collective Intelligence Project, aims to sync technologies with societal values and wants to reduce the fear of AI through a participant-guided conversation about needs, preferences, hopes, and fears. In this aspect, open source and Alignment Assemblies are powerful catalysts for bolstering societal understanding. This is why Audrey Tang calls for all hands on deck to solve the Gordian Knot that is AI in order to free the future of it. 2023-08-29T11:13:51+00:00 yes 603 2023 2023 Keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-1 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=88129152 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/88129152/33f5b3d9b8aac8a2f7965bff62be9780/video_medium/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-1-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968569/88129152/33f5b3d9b8aac8a2f7965bff62be9780/small/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-1-thumbnail.jpg Johanna Koljonen – Opening Remarks Returning moderator extraordinaire, Johanna Koljonen, opens The Conference 2023 and extends a warm welcome to the participants. She begins with a reflection on the personal financial situation that many of us have faced due to last year's economic turmoil. She states, "Working in this economy, we're facing a lot of pressure that we previously have not experienced," and connects environmental threats, financial anxiety, and the unease of social securities, all leading us to a state of prolonged worry.However, Johanna acknowledges that even as a "constant worrier," there comes a point when there isn't enough time to worry. She continues, emphasizing that even if we reach a state of "compassion fatigue," we must never let it turn into "solidarity fatigue." We can just hope that these anxieties and fears remain unexploited by dark interests as she reminds us that even though we may need to put on our oxygen masks first in case of an emergency, we still have the power to act and help others. It is in times like these we need the practical work of change, which, in turn, is the practical work of hope.

Magnus Nilsson encourages us to use the gift that is a conscious mind to investigate our subconscious, our emotions. Rationalising can be the delay, making us wait until a crucial point to make a decision. Because, if you really think about it - didn't you already know?  Magnus walked us through the different stages of his career. He told us the story of Fäviken, how and why it led to the end. He discussed how we, as people, often rationalise our decisions after initially making them guided by emotions. But what if it’s also as rational and valid a decision as a completely conscious one? What if we re-learn how to act in the forms of sensations and emotions? 2022-08-24T17:37:14+00:00 yes 3079 2022 2022 endings and new beginnings Fäviken https://theconference.twentythree.com/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77246324 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/77246324/9c38fa8c7964e232b049db3c6453d6a5/video_medium/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/77246324/9c38fa8c7964e232b049db3c6453d6a5/small/johanna-koljonen-closing-remarks-thumbnail.jpg Johanna Koljonen – Closing remarks 2022 Moderator Johanna Koljonen closes The Conference 2022. 2022-08-24T17:36:32+00:00 yes 440 2022 closing remarks johanna koljonen https://theconference.twentythree.com/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77246291 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/77246291/352c6dd5a6008dd4edde3a2faab51dd3/video_medium/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/77246291/352c6dd5a6008dd4edde3a2faab51dd3/small/johanna-koljonen-opening-remarks-thumbnail.jpg Johanna Koljonen – Opening remarks 2022 Moderator Johanna Koljonen opens The Conference 2022. 2022-08-24T17:35:23+00:00 yes 615 2022 2022 introduction Johanna Koljonen https://theconference.twentythree.com/ann-rosen-opening-performance https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77246280 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77246280/9cdeca63d051d846727dd1ee9f9b588a/video_medium/ann-rosen-opening-performance-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77246280/9cdeca63d051d846727dd1ee9f9b588a/small/ann-rosen-opening-performance-thumbnail.jpg Ann Rosén – Opening performance Artist and composer <a href="http://annrosen.se/">Ann Rosén</a> performs a short concert. Ann Rosén (born 1956) is the composer, musician and artist who began her career in the visual arts in the 1980s with interactive, intelligent, and intriguing works. Since the 1990s, the artistic focus has been on music and sound art and Rosén has more than one hundred works behind her. The works have been performed at the Swedish Royal Opera, <a href="https://www.modernamuseet.se/stockholm/sv/aktiviteter/after-art-zonula-occludens-av-ann-rosen/">Moderna Museet</a> in Stockholm, and South Bank in London, among others Rosén’s art revolves around the exploration of interpersonal communication, how we can understand ourselves in relation to the outside world and the barriers that can arise between us and others. 2022-08-24T17:35:02+00:00 yes 229 2022 2022 https://theconference.twentythree.com/kyle-mcdonald-get-together-with https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77244673 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/77244673/eb9656709929c7770296d6f830b3ac32/video_medium/kyle-mcdonald-get-together-with-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968566/77244673/eb9656709929c7770296d6f830b3ac32/small/kyle-mcdonald-get-together-with-thumbnail.jpg Kyle McDonald – Get together with Web3 “When tech moves fast and breaks things, who picks up the pieces after?” Kyle McDonald is an artist working with code who has done a lot of work researching the ecological impact of the Ethereum network. He shows the findings of this research which he has also published as an in-depth report. Kyle reflects on how the amount of energy consumption will drop significantly once Ethereum transitions from proof-of-stake to proof-of-work - two different methods of validating transactions on the blockchain. That will improve things but Kyle’s research shows a lot of ecological damage has been created as a result of Ethereum so far which he believes need to be remedied. He has created an artistic response in the form of NFTs titled Amends, designed to capture all historical emissions from three major NFT marketplaces. The work is priced to fully fund carbon mitigation. He presents the full concept behind this project and muses on the signal that is sent if the NFTs are sold but also the larger significance if the work doesn’t sell. 2022-08-24T16:45:13+00:00 yes 1741 2022 2022 Web3 https://theconference.twentythree.com/penny-rafferty-get-together-with https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77244412 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77244412/9bc10918286cc50cc1f773d954cc37ad/video_medium/penny-rafferty-get-together-with-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77244412/9bc10918286cc50cc1f773d954cc37ad/small/penny-rafferty-get-together-with-thumbnail.jpg Penny Rafferty – Get together with Web3 “What are the manifestos that we want to live under?” Penny Rafferty believes that technology should be social, collaborative, and emergent, prioritising culture over structures. She has been applying DAO thinking to issues in the art world in Berlin since 2018. This led to the emergence of the Black Swan DAO which has the goal of channelling resources from established institutions to cultural practitioners. In the context of cultural labour becoming increasingly precarious, the Black Swan DAO model is a response which enables practitioners to collectively manage resources. Penny details her experiences with the Black Swan DAO and other Web3 initiatives she has worked on. The Black Swan DAO serves as a fascinating case study of applying Web3 principles and technology to bring positive change in the cultural and creative sector. 2022-08-24T16:37:26+00:00 yes 1062 2022 2022 Web3 https://theconference.twentythree.com/mikkel-malmberg-get-together-with https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77244336 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/77244336/04265d92eb43a98f162638990b9a6069/video_medium/mikkel-malmberg-get-together-with-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/77244336/04265d92eb43a98f162638990b9a6069/small/mikkel-malmberg-get-together-with-thumbnail.jpg Mikkel Malmberg – Get together with Web3 “With decentralised blockchains we get this thing back that we can actually own things on the internet - and I think that’s pretty neat.” If you’re at an early stage of learning about Web3, Mikkel Malmberg’s talk provides the perfect introduction. He recounts his initial contact with Web3 and how he started off being sceptical of the space. His talk takes us on a journey of his experiences and experiments in Web3. Mikkel charts the progression from Web1, to Web2, and then discusses the differences and new possibilities emerging with Web3. He touches on topics like smart contracts, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and different types of blockchains. Mikkel also highlights the importance of community within Web3 and explores how the way people share their identity online is shifting with blockchain technology. His attitude towards Web3 has become more positive and optimistic over time and he has created several successful projects in the space which he also presents during his talk. 2022-08-24T16:34:46+00:00 yes 747 2022 2022 web3 https://theconference.twentythree.com/maya-indira-ganesh-artificial https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77244154 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77244154/8f62879f8a77939e582f1a2f8d2ff91a/video_medium/maya-indira-ganesh-artificial-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77244154/8f62879f8a77939e582f1a2f8d2ff91a/small/maya-indira-ganesh-artificial-thumbnail.jpg Maya Indira Ganesh – (Artificial) Intelligence “Lager networks might have a slight conscious.” Maya Indira Ganesh is a cultural scientist who explores the poetics and policies of AI and metaphors, asking the question what do we mean when we say AI?  Language is metaphorical, bridging the gap between our feelings and the thing itself. Why are metaphors important in the language of AI? It allows us to understand and convey things that are complex. The person who controls the metaphors sets AI in motion, it lets us think about the future relationship and needs to be described with clarity and regulations. So, what do we actually want AI to do? 2022-08-24T16:29:26+00:00 yes 1382 2022 2022 AI artificial intelligence intelligence https://theconference.twentythree.com/nick-seaver-artificial https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77243900 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77243900/31c2d5b360eefdacd08f1c77387f263d/video_medium/nick-seaver-artificial-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77243900/31c2d5b360eefdacd08f1c77387f263d/small/nick-seaver-artificial-thumbnail.jpg Nick Seaver – (Artificial) Intelligence “Sticky websites are traps designed to capture people.” Artisanal traps have two faces: where hunter and prey, two entities, meet. Computers are a kind of human trap. Can we see the image of the hunter and the prey in these computer-traps in the same way as the anthropologic traps? The interface is in fact the meeting point in between worlds. Engagement is in the very structure of how our technical products work. This means that reimagining the relations between designers, coders, and users is the way to “get out of the trap”.   Nick Seaver is an anthropologist of technology who studies how people use technology to make sense of cultural things. In this talk he explores how we throughout history have created traps. We used to do it to capture animals, today we are capturing human minds through digital screens, a phenomenon called “addiction by design” and “sticky websites”. 2022-08-24T16:21:20+00:00 yes 926 2022 2022 AI artificial intelligence intelligence https://theconference.twentythree.com/simone-rebaudengo-artificial https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77243741 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77243741/c98a6f49761fb948df018df82ba0826a/video_medium/simone-rebaudengo-artificial-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77243741/c98a6f49761fb948df018df82ba0826a/small/simone-rebaudengo-artificial-thumbnail.jpg Simone Rebaudengo – (Artificial) Intelligence “Is 65% spoon-ness a spoon?” “Something truly smart might rather do something unexpected.” Simone Rebaudengo is exploring the way we are living and interacting with networked and autonomous things. In this talk he is showing us some of those experiments and explorations, challenging the mainstream perception of AI. He is humourising and democratising the understanding of, and relations to artificial (or other) intelligences.  oio.studio, or “The other intelligences operation” explore different kinds of intelligences. What is AI? Is it talking cylinders? What else? Is it possible to co-design a product together with an AI from scratch? Is there maybe something to learn in trying to create an object in the hardest way possible? By putting together AI and craftsmen with artisanal intelligence and exploring a continuous back and forth between human and machine, you start to get interesting results - things that no human would have designed themselves. How do we live with other intelligences? What if there is an actual ecosystem of intelligences, of connectivities. Can an object have an intelligence, a history, a future? Instead of focusing on the artificial, autonomous and anthropomorphic, we could rather look at artisanal, augmenting, adapting, acceptable (and many other) intelligences. 2022-08-24T16:16:29+00:00 yes 1027 2022 2022 AI artificial intelligence intelligence https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-stories-that-shape-the-future https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77243594 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77243594/d602c1942084b4e0929cdcfb38cfb379/video_medium/qa-stories-that-shape-the-future-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77243594/d602c1942084b4e0929cdcfb38cfb379/small/qa-stories-that-shape-the-future-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Stories that shape the future Q&A with Joanne McNeil (Author) and Adrian Hon (Six to Start). 2022-08-24T16:12:06+00:00 yes 796 2022 2022 Q&A stories that shape the future https://theconference.twentythree.com/adrian-hon-stories-that-shape-the https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77243555 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77243555/3a7301e3baef7b4f0dd48c93dfa4ccae/video_medium/adrian-hon-stories-that-shape-the-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968571/77243555/3a7301e3baef7b4f0dd48c93dfa4ccae/small/adrian-hon-stories-that-shape-the-thumbnail.jpg Adrian Hon – Stories that shape the future Consider an object near you right now. How big is it? How does it feel? Who made the object? How are people using it in unexpected ways? How does it end? Are you up for trying another experiment? Write about the object. Writing about objects forces you to be specific - it makes you think about a specific place, time, people and context of its use, thus it makes  you think about the past, present and future of this object. A History of the Future in 100 Objects is a fictitious novel set in the year 2100 that introduced 100 objects. By looking back, it describes our present and possible near future.

Let’s talk about the potential power of science-fiction stories. Have you read Dune? Watched Bladerunner? How about the Parable of the Sower? The Earthsea series? Cultural references as found in science-fiction novels have a huge impact on what the tech in the coming years might look and feel like. But most of all, on our collective expectations and imagination of a possible future. To exemplify this, Joanna McNeil (author of Lurking: How a Person Became a User and upcoming novel, Too Early For The Future) shares several examples from recent pop culture. The film Minority Report had a workshop in early production days that brought together a group of futurists to imagine the future that is both possible but also looks good in a Hollywood movie. Also Elon Musk has in a way inspired many to think about what mainstream space travel could be like. Jose Fernandez, a Hollywood costumer who created many iconic costumes and dresses in major blockbuster movies such as Batman and Marvel movies, contributed to shaping the general understanding of what the future might look like since movies are often connected to what people actually think and remember. This talk stresses that science-fiction stories might not necessarily teach us about our future, but rather shape our present. Why are we attracted to some visualisations of human culture right now? How does the storytelling methods of science fiction allow us to feel where we do NOT want to go culturally? To conclude her talk, Joanna highlights the potential of science-fiction to inspire and to constructively criticize technology of the future. 2022-08-24T16:01:30+00:00 yes 1290 2022 2022 stories that shape the future https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-how-to-organise-innovation https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77243090 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77243090/87da740fd98e2effa5144268030a0622/video_medium/qa-how-to-organise-innovation-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77243090/87da740fd98e2effa5144268030a0622/small/qa-how-to-organise-innovation-thumbnail.jpg Q&A – How to organise innovation Q&A with Vaughn Tan (University Colledge London's School of Management) and Darja Isaksson (Vinnova). 2022-08-24T15:57:55+00:00 yes 808 2022 2022 how to organise innovation innovation Q&A https://theconference.twentythree.com/vaughn-tan-how-to-organise https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77243006 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/77243006/1c665108b0efd0687557b80d4031171a/video_medium/vaughn-tan-how-to-organise-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/77243006/1c665108b0efd0687557b80d4031171a/small/vaughn-tan-how-to-organise-thumbnail.jpg Vaughn Tan – How to organise innovation “Confusing risk and uncertainty can be very expensive and unpleasant.” “Organisations shaped by a risk mindset are naturally resistant to change.” Organisations that want to remain innovative now and in the future need an uncertainty mindset according to Vaughn Tan. Most organisations are built on the conventional model of risk-taking that has clearly defined job roles, goals and milestones. Unfortunately, this model also makes it hard for organisations to learn, change and adapt which is ultimately necessary in our world characterised by uncertainty. Risk and uncertainty differ in several ways. Risk takes a more mathematical approach being calculable while uncertainty has a lot of possible actions and outcomes. Some of them might be more desirable than others. Vaughn Tan suggests that organisations might benefit from learning to switch from a risk-assessment-focused mindset to an uncertainty mindset. We’re talking about holding roles open for people involved in solving a problem, setting goals with no defined end, and (re)learning the ability to learn. Now, working with an uncertainty mindset, how might organisations more holistically understand what effects innovations can have? How might we create truly regenerative innovations? 2022-08-24T15:56:00+00:00 yes 994 2022 2022 how to organise innovation innovation https://theconference.twentythree.com/darja-isaksson-how-to-organise https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77242931 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77242931/7b36d6b27af3bb0ee49d6560bd523586/video_medium/darja-isaksson-how-to-organise-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77242931/7b36d6b27af3bb0ee49d6560bd523586/small/darja-isaksson-how-to-organise-thumbnail.jpg Darja Isaksson – How to organise innovation “Uncertainty is scary but also incredibly amazing.” Nowadays, we can often feel like everyone is innovating only for the sake of innovation. In this talk, Darja Isaksson looks beyond the buzzword and explores how we might navigate uncertainty and complexity to create sustainable organisations.  Sweden has for a long time been a prime example of an innovative country. The old paradigm that this innovation model is built upon leans on three pillars: culture (characterised by boldness, openness, trust and a willingness to pay it forward), infrastructure (bases on reforms, policies, investments in infrastructures like available internet and making research in R&D a priority) and opportunity (creating possibilities, lower thresholds to take risks to try out new things and connecting innovators). But will this paradigm also work out in the future? How can Sweden - or any other country or organisation - foster a mindset and capability to adapt to ever-changing conditions and circumstances? Darja reminds us that we are capable of rapid, radical, large-scale change as a global community. During the pandemic, Sweden as a community proved the capacity to be humble enough to acknowledge that we do not have all the answers. This allowed for conversations around radical, necessary societal change. Will you join the impact innovation mission that makes the most sense to you? The speaker encourages us to focus on societal outcomes that we really want while bringing together politicians, citizens and companies that are impacted by this transformation and then unpack the challenges and co-create new solutions. 2022-08-24T15:54:27+00:00 yes 1302 2022 2022 how to organise innovation innovation https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-systems-thinking-as-a-method https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77235221 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/77235221/69631e18268171de48b602500e80977a/video_medium/qa-systems-thinking-as-a-method-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/77235221/69631e18268171de48b602500e80977a/small/qa-systems-thinking-as-a-method-thumbnail.jpg Q&A – Systems thinking as a method Q&A with Victor Galaz, Karol Gobczynski and Tessa van Soest. 2022-08-24T12:37:51+00:00 yes 1033 2022 2022 Q&A systems thinking as a method https://theconference.twentythree.com/tessa-van-soest-systems-thinking https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77235154 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77235154/5d56f04fd4fdbb8ac4427abae337f5a6/video_medium/tessa-van-soest-systems-thinking-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77235154/5d56f04fd4fdbb8ac4427abae337f5a6/small/tessa-van-soest-systems-thinking-thumbnail.jpg Tessa van Soest – Systems thinking as a method “Be the best FOR the world, not IN the world.” What can system change look like from a business perspective; the goal of transforming to a regenerative economic system?

To avoid the worst, we have to halve our emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero in 2050. We need to understand our own footprint, and share where we struggle. By having a common goal we are brought together - it’s about making the switch to renewable energy, making transportation systems zero-emission, and about closing the loop on materials and products as well as food.

It’s never too late. Quantum social change is possible.” Victor Galaz explains the planetary boundaries model, and how exceeding these boundaries will affect us. He is emphasising how the effect of the changing climate will bring rising inequalities. Today for some of the world population the future is already here and they are living in the consequences of global warming, with 1,5 degrees of warming. In his talk Victor is stressing the fact that we are in great urgency, and all possible changes are important, we need to make everything we can to make a difference. Every tenth of a degree that is obstructed will save lives.  The nine planetary boundaries is a framework created by the Stockholm Resilience Centre to establish the area in which humanity can continue to thrive and develop while still maintaining a stable and resilient Earth system. Crossing these boundaries could mean irreversible environmental changes, for example waking the “sleeping giants”; being the CO2-emissions from shovelling the trees of the Amazon. We are already overshooting these boundaries, however, that overshoot is not equally distributed. Climate inequality in Sweden for example involves housing, access to green areas and health care, and working conditions. 2022-08-24T12:32:59+00:00 yes 840 2022 2022 systems thinking as a method https://theconference.twentythree.com/christina-agapakis-natural https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77234587 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/77234587/ebc0ff422cb6f506755288d099cefdcb/video_medium/christina-agapakis-natural-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/77234587/ebc0ff422cb6f506755288d099cefdcb/small/christina-agapakis-natural-thumbnail.jpg Christina Agapakis – (Natural) Intelligence "The future is synthetic." How do you feel about synthetics? Are you thinking about a wildly sticky, static electric, polyester shirt right now? Many of us have negative connotations of synthetics as something unnatural, artificial and based on ancient fossil fueled techniques. The history of science up until now has placed nature by definition as separate and below humans, thereby creating a division between nature and technology.  Christina Agapakis from Gingko Bioworks introduces in her talk the “meatverse”, her vivid vision for society, where we (re)unite technology and nature. She asks big questions like how might we create a new kind of culture around biological development with nature? How might we design biological tools regenerative for all beings without the use of fossil fuels? How might biological programmers log into the ‘wood wide web’ to help co-create new forests? She closes her talk with a call to celebrate nature and technology and to reflect how we might use nature without filling the world with garbage. 2022-08-24T12:23:19+00:00 yes 1321 2022 2022 intelligence natural intelligence https://theconference.twentythree.com/susanne-wedlich-natural https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77234397 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77234397/e38b45566a275140541ff6253a1cb88b/video_medium/susanne-wedlich-natural-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968556/77234397/e38b45566a275140541ff6253a1cb88b/small/susanne-wedlich-natural-thumbnail.jpg Susanne Wedlich – (Natural) Intelligence “Oceans - I am sorry to say this - are covered from top to bottom in slime.” Life Is Slimey. What is slime? You wonder about that often, don’t you? Susanne Wedlich, the author of the book “Slime - A Natural History” does, too. If you ever write a book that several booksellers refuse to put on the shelves in sheer disgust, you will know that you’re onto something.  Inspired by love stories of snails, Susanne became an expert on slime. Have you realised how much slime is all around us? With the statement “all life is slimey”, Susanne sums up the versatile nature of slime. Sometimes it functions as glue, lubricant, filter or for defence purposes. Sometimes it is part of larger networks like wetlands. There is no exact definition of slime but it is rather a quality of material. Think of stiff water - slime accumulates a lot of water that is bound in a multidimensional network. It has the very cool ability to keep danger away, while remaining open. Have you ever wondered about how to establish healthy boundaries for yourself, while being open for connection with other beings? Slime can do that. It is smart and has memory - this was exemplified by an experiment in Tokyo where researchers put slime on a city map and placed oatmeal on the outside edges. Slime then figured out the most effective way to reach the oatmeal. Fascinatingly, the slime trails resembled the actual transportation network map of Tokyo. She concluded her talk with the urge to find and preserve the right balance of slime in our lives: too much and too little is equally bad. 2022-08-24T12:17:48+00:00 yes 1640 2022 2022 intelligence natural intelligence slime https://theconference.twentythree.com/tega-brain-the-environment-is-not https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77231645 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/77231645/862823b8944c742b357d4c3668f19eb1/video_medium/tega-brain-the-environment-is-not-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968578/77231645/862823b8944c742b357d4c3668f19eb1/small/tega-brain-the-environment-is-not-thumbnail.jpg Tega Brain – The environment is not a system “It can be dangerous to assume that more data just equals more reality.” "Can AI open up new possibilities for thinking about intelligence and automation?" Could machine learning help us deal with vast amounts of data beyond human comprehension? Can these techniques produce a more robust representation of reality free of human judgement? Assistant professor at NYU, Artist and Environmental Engineer Tega Brain posed these crucial inquiries during The Conference 2022.  Tega explored critical questions about the new approaches to environmental management that incorporate artificial intelligence. She stresses the dilemma of data-driven methods and planetary computing in addressing the climate crisis, exploring a range of case studies where data-driven methods have fallen short of their grand promises. Tega Brain shares some of her own projects to visualise these shortcomings in AI systems and reimagines alternatives for better understanding our changing climate. 2022-08-24T11:02:45+00:00 yes 2851 2022 2022 the environment is not a system https://theconference.twentythree.com/what-is-a-good-life https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77197798 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/77197798/952e561a82d85951bfaf09c489a8c9c2/video_medium/what-is-a-good-life-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/77197798/952e561a82d85951bfaf09c489a8c9c2/small/what-is-a-good-life-thumbnail.jpg What is a good life? “By the age of 25 there’s no atom in your body that you were born with. It’s all food. So some of us are just pot noodles.” Carolyn Steel is of the belief that we live in a world shaped by food and everything ultimately comes back to food. She takes us on a journey back through time, looking at how humans used to interact with food in the days of hunting and gathering all the way through to our relationship with food today. Looking at industrialisation and its promises to solve the problem of how to live, Carolyn questions whether our ideas of progress when it comes to food can truly be seen as progress. She encourages us to see food as a starting point for imagining a good life.  How could we change our collective approaches to food to value it and see it as something that brings us pleasure rather than an inconvenience and something that needs a quick fix in the age of busyness? Carolyn looks at what we could learn from the times of the hunter gatherer lifestyle and how we could better align ourselves with the natural cycles of the planet to create better lives for everyone. 2022-08-23T17:23:59+00:00 yes 2606 2022 2022 good life hungry city sitopia https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-being-well-body-and-place https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77196808 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77196808/939d0c2d2854c08ed088ca462d014b7d/video_medium/qa-being-well-body-and-place-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77196808/939d0c2d2854c08ed088ca462d014b7d/small/qa-being-well-body-and-place-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Being well – body and place Q&A with Kristina Höök and Ewa Westermark during The Conference 2022. 2022-08-23T16:56:10+00:00 yes 702 2022 2022 being well - body and place Q&A https://theconference.twentythree.com/ewa-westermark-being-well-body https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77196320 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77196320/5878c9b3644e1700f6bda61c4259937d/video_medium/ewa-westermark-being-well-body-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968559/77196320/5878c9b3644e1700f6bda61c4259937d/small/ewa-westermark-being-well-body-thumbnail.jpg Ewa Westermark – Being well – body and place  “Spaces change people's behaviour.”  Urban Misery or Urban Joy - a matter of placeThe context we find ourselves in influences us as human beings. It influences our choices. It influences how we feel. We are humans that are sensitive beings and social animals. Meeting other people is the essence of the city. How can the environment help us get out and meet other people rather than hinder us? And how is urban joy a matter of the everyday place?  Ewa Westermark explores what it is like to be in a city today, discussing the difference between urban misery and urban joy. What she found is that “Spaces change people's behaviours.” Trying out temporarily removing cars and traffic from the city streets she is showing us how we can bring back life to our cities. Ewa shares examples of changing the urban space and ultimately culture to foster social connection and wellbeing and demonstrates how rebuilding the city centre of Christchurch after the 2014 earthquake could be done by tapping into people’s memories and dreams to make the place better than it was. 2022-08-23T16:43:03+00:00 yes 1307 2022 2022 being well - body and place https://theconference.twentythree.com/kristina-hook-being-well-body-and https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77195744 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/77195744/228060e6b9a88a32aec4424fc950b8db/video_medium/kristina-hook-being-well-body-and-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968558/77195744/228060e6b9a88a32aec4424fc950b8db/small/kristina-hook-being-well-body-and-thumbnail.jpg Kristina Höök – Being well – body and place “The tools we have change us fundamentally. They change our feelings and our cultures.” Have you wondered why video conferencing still sucks? Because we are not just visual and auditory beings. The movements of our body are linked to our emotional processes. The tools we use impact our muscles, nervous systems, feelings, experiences and even our culture. Kristina Höök works at the Royal Institute of Technology where she studies Soma design, aesthetic and ethical wellness. Soma focuses on the fact that mind and body are not separate – how engaging with your senses will make you more present and will give you a richer life. She has been test designing products to develop this skill.  As designers, you leave a set of sedimented movements in design. You ask users to move, think and feel in certain ways. Somaesthetics is an approach to design that sees the mind and body as one. It is about designing with oneself, using one’s own soma in designing. It’s about being present in the world giving us a possibility to have richer experiences of the world we are living in. How might a lamp, a mat or even a corset help us change our way of being in the world? 2022-08-23T16:27:14+00:00 yes 1240 2022 2022 being well - body and place https://theconference.twentythree.com/bas-van-de-poel-spatial-computing https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77195377 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77195377/0ba4040ae36c23e5a3d33b80bbdf9f5c/video_medium/bas-van-de-poel-spatial-computing-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77195377/0ba4040ae36c23e5a3d33b80bbdf9f5c/small/bas-van-de-poel-spatial-computing-thumbnail.jpg Bas van de Poel – Spatial Computing “At some point we might not refer to augmented reality anymore but instead just refer to reality.” Bas van de Poel dives into the different definitions of the metaverse that exist today and why he believes the next big paradigm will be spatial computing, where the environment becomes the interface.

She speaks about the concept of embodied cognition, whereby the human body and not only the brain is involved in our perceptions and thought processes. She goes on to explore digital realities created using spatial computing. Currently, these largely focus on visual and, to a lesser extent, auditory forms of communication. As a result, we are omitting lines of communication that are critical for things like learning, remembering, and forming value judgments based on how we feel. The Feelies' studio aims to produce narratives that engage the viewer's senses on a deeper level. Grace shares her explorations into creating more multisensory experiences and the range of benefits these experiences bring. 2022-08-23T16:10:59+00:00 yes 1170 2022 2022 spatial computing https://theconference.twentythree.com/alice-rawsthorn-design-emergency https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77192356 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/77192356/827e9a468a747bd4f8f091685d4b5a96/video_medium/alice-rawsthorn-design-emergency-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968575/77192356/827e9a468a747bd4f8f091685d4b5a96/small/alice-rawsthorn-design-emergency-thumbnail.jpg Alice Rawsthorn – Design Emergency “Design is an agent of change which can help us make sense of what is happening and turn it to our advantage. Design has done this long before word has been invented to describe it.” How can we approach an everyday challenge as a design project? How can people use design for activism? What is the potential of design as a tool for societal change? How can people working as professional designers work with all of us as co-designers of the future? In her optimistic keynote session, Alice Rawsthorn describes multiple examples from her books “Design Emergency” and “Design as an Attitude'' that illustrate design as a way to respond to unforeseen circumstances and illustrate human tragedy. If design is being used responsively, empathically and intelligently, it can be a catalyst for positive change, reconstruct our lives and spark hope. One of her most recent examples is a group of graphic designers that are hacking road signs in the Ukraine to disrupt transportation - and world community awareness - of war. They repurposed highway signs to mislead Russian soldiers by showing the only destination as “the Hague” - the seat of the International Court of Crimes against humanity.  2022-08-23T15:01:28+00:00 yes 2496 2022 2022 design design as an attitude design emergency https://theconference.twentythree.com/maya-man-how-to-use-a-computer https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77189483 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/77189483/b4532ef853c3ed8946f28abc5a48cd8e/video_medium/maya-man-how-to-use-a-computer-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968560/77189483/b4532ef853c3ed8946f28abc5a48cd8e/small/maya-man-how-to-use-a-computer-thumbnail.jpg Maya Man – How to use a computer “My entire life my sense of self has been mediated by a computer screen.” Growing up, Maya Man has always been fascinated with the presentation of self and the meaning of true authenticity in different contexts. Her sense of self has always been mediated by a computer screen, leading her to experiment with the possibilities this presented but also feel that everything she was doing was some form of performance for a third person audience. In her recent work, she has subverted the tone of voice of Seventeen magazine covers and motivational Instagram posts to explore notions of performance, identity, and our presentation of self in the 21st century. 2022-08-23T13:53:21+00:00 yes 1079 2022 2022 how to use a computer https://theconference.twentythree.com/hillary-juma-how-to-use-a-computer https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77189351 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968561/77189351/caec248c101f3d2f9a231708733abde2/video_medium/hillary-juma-how-to-use-a-computer-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968561/77189351/caec248c101f3d2f9a231708733abde2/small/hillary-juma-how-to-use-a-computer-thumbnail.jpg Hillary Juma – How to use a computer “How will we garden the future of our abilities to speak with computers?” Hillary Juma spoke about how each of us has a different experience interacting with voice recognition systems. The challenges we face in our interactions with voice recognition software differ significantly, for example some accents aren’t understood by systems as well as others because they were not included in training data sets. Being diagnosed with dyslexia prompted Hillary to interact more with the voice-to-text systems and explore various voice recognition systems. In doing so, she realized their shortcomings and has become a “cyber doula with a specialism in linguistics” to acquaint people with these systems and their complexities. 2022-08-23T13:50:25+00:00 yes 848 2022 2022 how to use a computer https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-work-what-science-says https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77188853 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/77188853/70f387b47855095951c7887764aea67f/video_medium/qa-work-what-science-says-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968580/77188853/70f387b47855095951c7887764aea67f/small/qa-work-what-science-says-thumbnail.jpg Q&A Work – What Science Says Q&A with Calle Rosengren (Lund University), Carl Benedikt Frey (Oxford University) and Rita Fontinha (Henley Business School, University of Reading) during The Conference 2022. 2022-08-23T13:38:23+00:00 yes 479 2022 2022 Q&A work - what science says https://theconference.twentythree.com/rita-fontinha-work-what-science https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77188786 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77188786/fd5404be06bde790d546412366af695d/video_medium/rita-fontinha-work-what-science-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77188786/fd5404be06bde790d546412366af695d/small/rita-fontinha-work-what-science-thumbnail.jpg Rita Fontinha – Work – what science says “People wish to work less, but also to have more control over their time.”  How do we free humanity up to choose meaningful work? Is value actually connected to working many hours? Who defines what is ‘productive’? Who defines what is valuable? Valuable for who? Do we produce more value on our days off? What do we do to each other, when some people have control over other people’s chance to choose the most meaningful way to spend moments, hours and lives?  Rita Fontinha suggests a progressive implementation of freed up valuable time through a 4 day work week as a potential first step. 2022-08-23T13:36:29+00:00 yes 886 2022 2022 work work - what science says https://theconference.twentythree.com/calle-rosengren-work-what-science https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77188593 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77188593/2fda3beb9f4d66dabcb6615c3c1cdab3/video_medium/calle-rosengren-work-what-science-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77188593/2fda3beb9f4d66dabcb6615c3c1cdab3/small/calle-rosengren-work-what-science-thumbnail.jpg Calle Rosengren – Work – what science says “Covid-19 has done more for the digitalisation of organisations than the COO and CEO.” During their online meeting, Calle Rosengren’s colleague from Lund University received four missed calls from her son. There must have been a fire in his room. She knocked on his door. Nah, no fire. He wanted to know whether he could eat the last semla. How do we find healthy digital boundaries and a chance to focus in these new hybrid working days?  Rosengren’s research suggests that it’s worth looking into some digital boundary management strategies. Suggested strategies circle around for example building good habits very consciously. But also - and particularly in this seriously urgent semla situation - involving any family members in conversations around digital boundaries. 2022-08-23T13:31:20+00:00 yes 984 2022 2022 work work - what science says https://theconference.twentythree.com/carl-benedikt-frey-work-what https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77188312 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77188312/fc326dc3e235e6064d7d0f53e2ba71f0/video_medium/carl-benedikt-frey-work-what-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77188312/fc326dc3e235e6064d7d0f53e2ba71f0/small/carl-benedikt-frey-work-what-thumbnail.jpg Carl Benedikt Frey – Work – what science says “Occupations paying less than 20 dollars per hour are most at risk to be replaced by technology.” How do you heighten your chances of making money for rent in the future? Carl Benedikt Frey suggests creativity, social intelligence and the abilities to perceive and manipulate will be central skills. These particular skills are still proving hard to automate through Artificial Intelligence. So how do we build and strengthen these skills? Does our education system and social environments support these learning processes? Who does not have access to this type of learning? Will we even need money for rent in the future?

It’s always a conversation. You’re not building a search engine - you’re building a tool for users to embark on a knowledge quest.” Matt Webb explores how different types of common search mechanisms online work and the type of results they return. He goes through a history of more analogue search systems to give context to the search algorithms we all use today. Matt frames search as not being a query but rather a conversation where people are using the search tool to embark on a knowledge quest. In doing so, he reveals the limitations of popular search tools and the silos they keep us in.  He has explored different ways of making search and aggregation tools work for himself in slightly different ways. By creating his own systems, he is able to come across new information before it gets to the point of trending or being recommended by an algorithm. Matt closes by sharing some ideas for how we could each build our own systems to find the information we’re truly seeking. 2022-08-23T13:15:46+00:00 yes 1016 2022 2022 how to use a computer https://theconference.twentythree.com/liam-young-senses-and https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77185284 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/77185284/d3234450b42da77b2a0ebbb1e4a63948/video_medium/liam-young-senses-and-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968555/77185284/d3234450b42da77b2a0ebbb1e4a63948/small/liam-young-senses-and-thumbnail.jpg Liam Young – Senses and Sensibilities “Fiction is an extraordinary shared language.” Fiction is a product of culture but it also produces culture: it impacts how we see the world. The line between fiction and reality is a thin one, and the urban space is one where our imaginaries are often played out. Through his piece ‘The Planet City’, Liam Young takes us on a cinematic drift through imaginary worlds: one fictional, one we are currently living in. What if we stepped back, made room and let global wilderness return? How do these fictional worlds we construct portray our technological possibilities and our gravest concerns?  As already inhabitants of a planet city, we have remade the world. A new kind of story is needed to guide us into the future. We need to visualise our collective futures. We need to shape where we all want to go next. By telling the fictive story we get the chance to imagine a possible future, and by doing so, giving us the opportunity to imagine a new story for the planet: “As we write stories we also write the world.” 2022-08-23T12:05:25+00:00 yes 2405 2022 2022 senses and sensibilities https://theconference.twentythree.com/jordi-roca-senses-and https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=77185233 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77185233/c1ce619c24e2f111ac8f13d54cfb579a/video_medium/jordi-roca-senses-and-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/64968577/77185233/c1ce619c24e2f111ac8f13d54cfb579a/small/jordi-roca-senses-and-thumbnail.jpg Jordi Roca – Senses and Sensibilities “Why not create a dish from the smell of old book?”“The most beautiful idea is to be able to eat a song.” Senses can evoke memories. Jordi Roca explores the connection and interaction between senses, childhood memories, smell and taste. Inspired by Marcel Proust and his ‘In Search of Lost Time’, Jordi shares about his work evoking memories through smell, taste and texture: how he created desserts inspired by perfumes by deconstructing each perfume to create an aroma leading to him making his own perfume. He moved further and extracted the smell of an old book evoking a memory of reading old literature. Could you also eat a forest after a rain? Or taste different colours, each of which would have a specific melody attached to it? Might we evoke a sense of smell of people who had lost it by combining an experience of different senses, like seeing, hearing and others? 2022-08-23T12:04:12+00:00 yes 2103 2022 2022 senses and sensibilities https://theconference.twentythree.com/solar-future-energy https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55220539 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543324/55220539/8e88fad824ec905c8f40a196c88a520e/video_medium/solar-future-energy-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543324/55220539/8e88fad824ec905c8f40a196c88a520e/small/solar-future-energy-thumbnail.jpg Solar – Future energy Jonas Stojiljkovic Pedersen and Magnus Borgkvist Johansson. Malmö based instrumental duo Solar is a cosmic blend of postrock and John Carpenter flavoured influences where drums and synthesizers is the driving force. The expression is wide, from vast soundscapes with hypnotic arpeggios and expressive drums to dark, doom influenced tracks that seems to reflects a place where darkness has reigned since the beginning of time. Solar produces music in a high pace and keep exploring and widen their sound and influences on every new track produced.

It’s really easy to imagine if it’s a space you would like to go to every day or not.” How can we sort out the good attributions from existing platforms and create new ones? Social networks have been deeply criticized over the years, but Are.na founder Charles Broskoski wants to turn the subject on how to develop and improve them instead. He wants to start a conversation about the important questions, What is a good platform and what patterns does it have? He describes Are.na as a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge and explains that the users have a lot of power and influence over the platform.  2019-08-28T14:08:42+00:00 yes 1012 2019 2019 creating the new social web the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/gabi-ivens-verifying-media-at https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55186623 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543327/55186623/d1385fb129f0cc7470183ee1f234633c/video_medium/gabi-ivens-verifying-media-at-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543327/55186623/d1385fb129f0cc7470183ee1f234633c/small/gabi-ivens-verifying-media-at-thumbnail.jpg Gabi Ivens – Verifying media at scale Open source investigator Gabi Ivens works as a human rights researcher focusing largely on visual documentation of human rights abuses.

In their studio they have the tools to build prototypes in a single day. Working with CAD (computer-aided design) tools for many years, he has seen how these have always been meant to facilitate a human process. With the recent influx of AI in design however, generative design software has arrived big time. In many cases however, these tools are digital black boxes that often produce results that are surprising to the designers themselves. Showing examples of actual products he has created, Wang shows how human aesthetics and intuition often gets lost along the way. He argues that we should work to adapt AI software to accept human feedback, instead of reducing all kinds of inputs to numbers. Rather than going down the rabbit hole with automated design, we should really be looking at how things like CAD can become tools for human-aided design - especially now that we’re beginning to produce three-dimensional objects like furniture using generative design. 2019-08-28T11:10:27+00:00 yes 1248 2019 2019 ai and creativity the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/mark-dinverno-ai-creativity-and https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55182189 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543322/55182189/dcce69e5745b58d60fd108497b737f97/video_medium/mark-dinverno-ai-creativity-and-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543322/55182189/dcce69e5745b58d60fd108497b737f97/small/mark-dinverno-ai-creativity-and-thumbnail.jpg Mark d'Inverno – AI, creativity and all that jazz ”it’s a profoundly human act to give feedback to each other on our creative work”Mark d’Inverno is not only a professor of computer science – he is also an accomplished jazz musician with both skill and feeling. His talk is more concerned with the latter: the craft of creative production. He believes the discourse has focussed too much on creativity as a power in the mind which leads to us trying to create computer systems which simulate ’heroic agency' where what matters is the final product. He believes that the modern understandings of creativity from psychology which lead to this way of designing and envisaging AI is a mistake. He subscribes instead to Dewey’s notion that art is not about the final piece itself but about the human experience of making and experiencing it. In his background as a teacher, d’Inverno works a lot with creative feedback – creating safe environments – physical and virtual - where feedback can be motivational and personalised. And he believes this is where AI can help. If we want to approach the world with the curiousity of a musician or artist, then rigorously designed AI can help us get a stronger sense of our shared world.<div> </div> 2019-08-28T11:06:05+00:00 yes 1921 2019 2019 ai and creativity the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/vincent-bahar-transendence https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55182137 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543319/55182137/5bc15c26ecdf51dd5afc1b56a4c20ef2/video_medium/vincent-bahar-transendence-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543319/55182137/5bc15c26ecdf51dd5afc1b56a4c20ef2/small/vincent-bahar-transendence-thumbnail.jpg Vincent Bahar – Transendence Poet, composer and musician Vincent Bahar has quickly made a name for herself at the cultural stages in south of Sweden and Copenhagen.

This is a way of bringing the so-called digital architecture of our current practices together with automation of processes familiar from other industries. With a post-work future in mind, we need to reimagine the way we construct buildings. The elements that make up a building have, in fact, not changed essentially since the industrial revolution. While the tools architects use have developed to handle more and more complex designs, the actual process of building large-scale structures still requires thousands of individual parts and a myriad of contractors and subcontractors. Automation could help in reducing the resources required, as well as giving the end user a more direct role in shaping the built environment. It could help drive systemic change and result in more flexible, agile and resilient buildings with smaller carbon footprints. 2019-08-28T08:41:39+00:00 yes 3119 2019 2019 discrete automation the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/curiositi-ready https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55177151 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543330/55177151/b76e5d25ebdfd1be71063d586cbb465f/video_medium/curiositi-ready-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543330/55177151/b76e5d25ebdfd1be71063d586cbb465f/small/curiositi-ready-thumbnail.jpg Curiositi – Ready Curiositi is the musical project of Matilda Berggren and Emil Johansson. Being veterans of the swedish electro/indie-scene the couple met while touring italy with their respective bands in 2007 but took up writing and producing together in 2016 when Johansson put his old project Parker Lewis to rest. Since Curiositis first release the act has slowly built a reputation for being next level producers and writers, making heavily R&B-influenced pop music echoing of soft rock, quiet storm and even new jack swing. The debut album Skin Love came out through the band’s own Inertial Recordings in March 2019, celebrated by the band through an exhibition and gesamtkunstwerk at art space Makeriet in their native Malmö. Instead of a release party, Curiositi collaborated with performance artist Daniel Kokko, artist Lisa Peterson, graphic designer Ivar Lantz and various fragrance artists and distillers to create an all round experience of the themes of Skin Love. This event also marked the premiere for Curiositi’s silent live shows.

Evans – The pioneering grandmothers of the internet Anyone who’s seen AMC’s series Halt and Catch Fire knows the importance of representation. Two out of four main characters are female tech pioneers in the early 80s. Claire L. Evans’ book Broadband traces the real story of women behind the solitary geniuses of history, who tend to be men. What if unique solutions and social networks like Microcosm or Echo (both created by women) had received the same attention and capital that e.g. the WWW got in the early 90s? In her talk Evans explores the untravelled paths of history to balance the narrative and to show us the radically different now we could have lived in. Outreach, representation and care – what if all those things were taken into account when designing and coding solutions? Care, especially is a word we don’t hear a lot anymore. But if we’re going to survive the future and its challenges, we need all the help we can get. Which means we need to see more non-males represented in the tech industry. 2019-08-27T17:15:38+00:00 yes 3444 2019 2019 grandmothers of the internet the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/brett-scott-the-war-on-cash https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55157843 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543314/55157843/e3c9966939849d8f680796ef3572d5ad/video_medium/brett-scott-the-war-on-cash-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543314/55157843/e3c9966939849d8f680796ef3572d5ad/small/brett-scott-the-war-on-cash-thumbnail.jpg Brett Scott – The war on cash “Cash allows everybody to use it, it doesn’t care who you are.” At The Conference 2019, author and economic hacker Brett Scott made the case for keeping cash.

In my meaning it’s the best innovation ever. It’s a trust system, we put more trust in money than we do in religion.” Jonas Hedman is Professor at the <a href="https://www.cbs.dk/en/research/departments-and-centres/department-of-digitalization/staff/jhdigi">Department of Digitalization</a> at Copenhagen Business School. His research interest concerns the digital transformation in the finance sector and includes topics such as cashless society, fintech revolution, payment ecosystems, payment innovations, open API and central bank digital currency.Money – such as coins, banknotes and account money – are global, general purpose mediums of exchange with an unrestricted usage. In the future, however, experts like Jonas foresee a new type money: one that is intelligent or smart, money that we can program for specific uses. In essence, “smart money” is a value exchange instrument that is based on computer protocols which can facilitate, verify or enforce present conditions for its appropriation as a means of payment. 2019-08-27T15:42:39+00:00 yes 720 2019 2019 out of cash the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/andrea-jones-rooy-under-measure https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55157460 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543312/55157460/3a29e91fd5a001bebe663a8f129d2ff3/video_medium/andrea-jones-rooy-under-measure-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543312/55157460/3a29e91fd5a001bebe663a8f129d2ff3/small/andrea-jones-rooy-under-measure-thumbnail.jpg Andrea Jones-Rooy – Under measure – measuring what matters "Measurement is the beautiful act when humans get involved and take facts to data" At The Conference 2019, Data science professor Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy (NYU), talked about the pitfalls to be mindful of when working with data. Andrea explained the dangers of just scratching the surface of the data and how important it is to look beyond. We should look at the data as subjective because if we look at the data with an expectation of answers, we will find them and miss out on everything else. Instead, Dr. Andra Jones-Rooy wants us to start with the question. E.g. Why are women leaving the company? Why are they more unlikely to have higher positions? By asking questions, maybe we someday can point out a good measurement for diversity. What are the inputs and outputs and how do you create diversity? 2019-08-27T15:37:37+00:00 yes 1252 2019 2019 the conference 2019 under measure https://theconference.twentythree.com/anna-ahnberg-under-measure https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55157370 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543331/55157370/5912d38ccef151a26c822c7a258da5d5/video_medium/anna-ahnberg-under-measure-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543331/55157370/5912d38ccef151a26c822c7a258da5d5/small/anna-ahnberg-under-measure-thumbnail.jpg Anna Åhnberg – Under measure – measuring what matters "We’re all going to fucking die" Green house emission, climate change. Big words with a scary tone. At The Conference 2019, Sustainability specialist Anna Åhnberg from Oatly told us that we SHOULD be scared but she also encouraged us not to freeze in panic. Everyone should, and could, act and that includes the food companies too. The food industry accounts for 25% of the worlds global gas emissions which is more than all the transport industries together. Anna Åhnberg has one strong message – the food industry should talk more about their environmental impact. By acknowledging the impact every product has, the consumers finally have the opportunity to be aware and compare different food.

What is your identity? And more importantly, is there such a thing? A while ago, Alina Bliumis went out on a mission to find the answer. She searched the web and after diving into big chunks of data she found out that most of us are 28 years old, have black hair and brown eyes. She also found out that most people don't believe in global warming and that most of us owns a bed and a smartphone. By analyzing the numbers, we would now believe that we have the answer to the question of how a every day person looks and act like, but be aware. Alina Bliumis warns us that in reality this might look a bit different. “It seems unlikely that all metrics reflects the true reality” she says. 2019-08-27T15:31:22+00:00 yes 1032 2019 2019 the conference 2019 under measure https://theconference.twentythree.com/meghan-ogieblyn-god-in-the-machine https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55156343 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543312/55156343/73d6ddbd2b6194eaff848993b45a553a/video_medium/meghan-ogieblyn-god-in-the-machine-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543312/55156343/73d6ddbd2b6194eaff848993b45a553a/small/meghan-ogieblyn-god-in-the-machine-thumbnail.jpg Meghan O'Gieblyn – God in the machine Sci-fi and religion alike, have always been concerned with dilemmas we now associate with transhumanism. What does resurrection or immortal life feel like? Will you still be ”you”? The idea of mind uploading has been a prevalent feature in wildly imaginative series like Altered Carbon, but now we seem to be on the verge of realisation of similar technologies with Elon Musk’s Neuralink project. Essayist Meghan O’Gieblyn shares her story that begin as a devout Christian, later to become fascinated by the seemingly secular narratives of Kurzweil. From Dante to 20th century transhumanists via the alchemists, O’Gieblyn shows how ”existential questions are always going to rely on metaphors”. We need to be wary of the metaphors we use, because they shape our consciousness and have had a history of leading to fundamentalism, religious or secular. Who knows that the right answers are, but at least we need to look beyond our Cartesian dualism of body and mind. 2019-08-27T14:50:29+00:00 yes 2892 2019 2019 god in the machine the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/nicole-he-say-my-name-say-my-name https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55153252 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543315/55153252/022e6da2f9436035309597e9a3f83105/video_medium/nicole-he-say-my-name-say-my-name-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543315/55153252/022e6da2f9436035309597e9a3f83105/small/nicole-he-say-my-name-say-my-name-thumbnail.jpg Nicole He – Say my name, say my name "Voice technology is the gap between what AI actually is and what people believe it is" Nicole He is an artist and programmer who use technology for creative work, combined with an interest in current technology of AI and the character of AI. Voice technology could be seen as the gap between the real AI and the AI character in our imagination. The cutting edge tech is created for things that can make money, but that shouldn’t stop us from using them to make art. In different creative projects Nicole has incorporated voice technology, such as the” True Love Tinder Robot”, the “Secret Dunny Box” and “Garden Friends”. They all have in common that we can interact with the technology in different ways and it creates different feelings and experiences. However - according to Nicole voice technology is not perfect yet. There’s a difference in how we think it should work and how it actually works. It’s interesting now and we don’t have to wait for the AI to be perfect to use it, there’s room to make great things with it.  2019-08-27T12:37:48+00:00 yes 915 2019 2019 say my name say my name the conference 2019 https://theconference.twentythree.com/anthony-onumonu-say-my-name-say-my https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=55153152 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543316/55153152/32418b7576da64c64bd937802977be19/video_medium/anthony-onumonu-say-my-name-say-my-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/49543316/55153152/32418b7576da64c64bd937802977be19/small/anthony-onumonu-say-my-name-say-my-thumbnail.jpg Anthony Onumonu – Say my name, say my name With help from Amazon’s Alexa, Anthony Onumonu, Principal software engineer from BBC R&D, talks about designing and developing interactive experiences on smart speakers.

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. 2018-09-05T17:49:43+00:00 yes 2849 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/hub-christine-owman-from-dusk https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35479281 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288174/35479281/29c0fec22d03d899d4deb2ff3bab1153/video_medium/hub-christine-owman-from-dusk-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288174/35479281/29c0fec22d03d899d4deb2ff3bab1153/small/hub-christine-owman-from-dusk-thumbnail.jpg HUB & Christine Owman – "From Dusk" 2018-09-05T17:48:10+00:00 yes 294 2018 2018 music the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/james-bridle-what-is-real https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35479264 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288174/35479264/9931111cd4edaa43401133d6354549db/video_medium/james-bridle-what-is-real-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288174/35479264/9931111cd4edaa43401133d6354549db/small/james-bridle-what-is-real-thumbnail.jpg James Bridle – What Is Real? “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.” 2018-09-05T17:46:09+00:00 yes 1781 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-what-is-real https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35479260 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/35479260/dc08663f7c9b6cb285bfe7da0a9f44a7/video_medium/qa-what-is-real-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/35479260/dc08663f7c9b6cb285bfe7da0a9f44a7/small/qa-what-is-real-thumbnail.jpg Q&A: What Is Real?

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. 2018-09-05T14:33:26+00:00 yes 834 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/the-interview-stage-by-aktarr-maisa https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35477020 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288173/35477020/0173e3084af0b7349baadf17e4774be1/video_medium/the-interview-stage-by-aktarr-maisa-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288173/35477020/0173e3084af0b7349baadf17e4774be1/small/the-interview-stage-by-aktarr-maisa-thumbnail.jpg The Interview Stage by Aktarr – Maisa Dabus "The Malmö model is quite flat, you don't feel much hierarchy here." 2018-09-05T13:14:57+00:00 yes 726 2018 2018 The Interview Stage https://theconference.twentythree.com/dr-lisa-mosconi-designing-nature https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35477010 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288174/35477010/44ca4c45a8664005e77c3d0f725f78eb/video_medium/dr-lisa-mosconi-designing-nature-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288174/35477010/44ca4c45a8664005e77c3d0f725f78eb/small/dr-lisa-mosconi-designing-nature-thumbnail.jpg Dr. Lisa Mosconi – Designing Nature “If you could see the future, what would you have for dinner?”<div>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.

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.

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.

Our brains are modelling reality in real time and can also create new realities. Virtual reality technology lets us be anyone at any time, unlike any other technology. The way we act or react to things can change with virtual reality, and situations can feel very different in a virtual environment. 2018-09-04T16:32:07+00:00 yes 1080 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/magnus-goransson-play https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35467427 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288172/35467427/e952c25a12d28def1ceb7478869b56e3/video_medium/magnus-goransson-play-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288172/35467427/e952c25a12d28def1ceb7478869b56e3/small/magnus-goransson-play-thumbnail.jpg Magnus Göransson – Play "Kids don’t the see the divide between the physical and digital play – but parents do."

Play is also a tool for unleashing creativity and innovation, while at the same time having the perk of being a universal language. But… what is play, really? According to Fredrika Inger, Global Business Area Manager at Children’s IKEA, play is deeply personal. Play has to be spontaneous. Not serious, not obligated.

Many think that the mere interaction is changing the notion of play, but is it? Play, much like motivation, is central to a child’s development (physical, social, emotional and cognitive). All these important factors bring about another pressing matter: ethics. However, most of the industry working with children’s products don’t really have a child-centered design – meaning they don’t conduct enough research using, well, children. 2018-09-04T15:08:43+00:00 yes 1126 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/ahd-kamel-odd-camel-from-the-magic-kingdom https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35467400 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288172/35467400/fe1daeb4d69e18883a1697678a3b5936/video_medium/ahd-kamel-odd-camel-from-the-magic-kingdom-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288172/35467400/fe1daeb4d69e18883a1697678a3b5936/small/ahd-kamel-odd-camel-from-the-magic-kingdom-thumbnail.jpg Ahd Kamel – Odd Camel from The Magic Kingdom "I didn’t want to fight for my already god-given right to live."

By creating a comment section quiz, it ensures that people know what they are commenting on online. It’s a simple solution to a complex problem, and also a way to improve internet debate by requiring participants to answer these few basic questions first. It also generates people to reflect more, make them become more rational in their thinking and, hopefully, behave better on social medias. The experiment have been referred as ”the best new journalism idea ever” by the American futurist Amy Webb. 2018-09-04T15:05:51+00:00 yes 880 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/indy-johar-the-need-for-a-boring-revolution https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35467369 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288170/35467369/3a8ef1fda07cb042c052c6f0aa89c2c2/video_medium/indy-johar-the-need-for-a-boring-revolution-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288170/35467369/3a8ef1fda07cb042c052c6f0aa89c2c2/small/indy-johar-the-need-for-a-boring-revolution-thumbnail.jpg Indy Johar – The Need for a Boring Revolution "When we create a precarious society, fear becomes a very powerful political device." In order to build, create and maintain a sustainable future, we need to start a boring revolution. Believing that talking only about the cool parts of science (like AI, new technology and robots) is not going to help us form this revolution. We need to go back to basics. We need to go over things like bureaucracy, governance och the principles of democracy to create trust. Without this trust simple things go wrong. Democratizing the means of production and innovation is all about building towards a counsciousness. We need to empower people in order to form a new type of government. We need to reinvent the concept of governance, and we need to do it now.

In Taiwan, events for civil hackers are arranged in order for people to participate and together try to improve democracy by means of technology. By changing public websites and making them more democracy friendly, they are able to ”fork” the government and take down all the unwanted sites and make new ones instead. Shu Yang Lin describes this as a non-violent form of communication, an open-space technology that allows the entire society to engage in rational discussions fixed by hackers. It can be seen as an experiment on how to create consensus and gain trust within a large group of people even though they don’t know each other. 2018-09-04T15:04:42+00:00 yes 909 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/karin-pettersson-broken-promise-land https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35467348 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288173/35467348/6548fda20a7bc8694e502f271f2b2806/video_medium/karin-pettersson-broken-promise-land-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288173/35467348/6548fda20a7bc8694e502f271f2b2806/small/karin-pettersson-broken-promise-land-thumbnail.jpg Karin Pettersson – Broken Promise Land “You don't really know who you are until you're forced to defend it.” Journalism today is under a lot of pressure. At the same time, more and more hatred have grown on the internet over the past years. This has part to do with populism and other forces that are blatantly undermining the democracy. In her talk, based on years of research, Karin Pettersson examines how social media, Silicon Valley and different threats to democracy are interrelated. She states that the situation is complex, and that public discourses could be the survival of modern journalism. 2018-09-04T15:04:05+00:00 yes 1057 2018 2018 the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/bo-mehr-crying https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=35467303 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288175/35467303/ebaaaa3d70fefcd9776e0f85a858f302/video_medium/bo-mehr-crying-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/27288175/35467303/ebaaaa3d70fefcd9776e0f85a858f302/small/bo-mehr-crying-thumbnail.jpg Bo Mehr – "Crying" 2018-09-04T15:00:25+00:00 yes 297 2018 2018 music the conference 2018 https://theconference.twentythree.com/the-conference-2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=25213588 https://theconference.twentythree.com/19476789/25213588/4c6ec56c02f508cdc5c4c7c1b252fb76/video_medium/the-conference-2017-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/19476789/25213588/4c6ec56c02f508cdc5c4c7c1b252fb76/small/the-conference-2017-thumbnail.jpg The Conference 2017 2018-03-01T14:25:35+00:00 yes 62 2017 2017 the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/gene-kogan-machine-learning-for-creatives https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18945280 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107560/18945280/00eb7afc05fc072ea12b9c227df26b0d/video_medium/gene-kogan-machine-learning-for-creatives-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107560/18945280/00eb7afc05fc072ea12b9c227df26b0d/small/gene-kogan-machine-learning-for-creatives-thumbnail.jpg Gene Kogan - Machine Learning For Creatives "You can’t formally define creativity."

When Rand Hindi’s dad lost his job as a trader to a machine, something dawned on him. He was working to automate the jobs that his father was doing. He realized that we can find ways to coexist with AI, instead of it devouring our jobs. In his talk, Rand Hindi puts forth a 4-step test if your job is at risk, and concludes that it all comes down to adaptive learning and working together with machines. 2017-09-05T16:04:45+00:00 yes 1093 2017 2017 the conference the conference 2017 UBI https://theconference.twentythree.com/stephanie-dinkins-inclusive-artificial https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18944257 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107561/18944257/13513b27a03e1b068aed581fbaa222f1/video_medium/stephanie-dinkins-inclusive-artificial-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107561/18944257/13513b27a03e1b068aed581fbaa222f1/small/stephanie-dinkins-inclusive-artificial-thumbnail.jpg Stephanie Dinkins - Inclusive Artificial Intelligence "When you train algorithms on limited data, what you get is holes in the results."

Developers shouldn’t be afraid to rock the boat and encourage a little discomfort in the workplace.

Saskia focus on finance, the underlying steam engine that defines our epoch. She claims that the ownership of the city got trapped in real estate deals and concentrated power and wealth, which led to symptoms such as the election of Donald Trump as president.  Yet the city is a place where those without power can get to make history. Today digital is infrastructure, the question is how is it used and how it matters for equity, democracy, and rights?

It’s the fear of having that kind of extremely private content publicly distributed as an unwanted consequence that’s of concern. The most established suggestion by the public and authorities to solve this problem is simply to ”stop texting”. However, Amy Adele Hasinoff sets out to show the futileness of precisely that. She chooses to focus on the question of how we could control information, and if design can help us prevent the harmful use and misfortunes sexting can result in. It all comes down to the concept of consent, which would make us have to rethink our social media structure entirely. Digital communication and content distribution shouldn’t be as frictionless as it currently is, and better design is needed to improve privacy in the digital sphere. 2017-09-04T14:35:35+00:00 yes 919 2017 2017 the conference the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/muneeb-ali-trust-in-a-post-truth-world https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18931354 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107558/18931354/e8ab6799024d5bc5b194ad1803645173/video_medium/muneeb-ali-trust-in-a-post-truth-world-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107558/18931354/e8ab6799024d5bc5b194ad1803645173/small/muneeb-ali-trust-in-a-post-truth-world-thumbnail.jpg Muneeb Ali - Trust in a post-truth world "The future of Internet is decentralized." In this his session, Muneeb Ali, founder of Blockstack, focus on issues that stems from when a few set of companies has conquered our digital lives. The inevitable consequence of this is that we blindly have to trust companies at which the platforms and services our communication is taking place at. To put it more frankly and dramatic; the internet is owned, the platforms are our prisons and with that our digital freedom is a distant faded memory. But what if we could reverse this? What if we could re-structure the digital so that it’s becoming more alike the physical world which follows property rights and privacy policies? With the current state of the digital world as backdrop, Muneeb presents how a new digital infrastructure has the potential to set us free. 2017-09-04T14:34:25+00:00 yes 775 2017 2017 the conference the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/caroline-jack-trust-in-a-post-truth-world https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18931347 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107558/18931347/dfc9d12f80990d308eba064e637d804c/video_medium/caroline-jack-trust-in-a-post-truth-world-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107558/18931347/dfc9d12f80990d308eba064e637d804c/small/caroline-jack-trust-in-a-post-truth-world-thumbnail.jpg Caroline Jack - Trust In a Post-Truth World "Shorthand news are not only about the content but also about the context." In this session, Caroline Jack, a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Data & Society Research Institute, tells us that fakes news is not merely about if the reporting of facts is entirely true or false. Actually, propaganda can help us to better understand fake news, and how it’s common denominator is about sending a strong message and the similar concerns that’s historically been raised. However, both propaganda and fake news are shorthand words that implies something much more significant than just misleading or utter false reporting.  What Caroline's sessions highlights is that the trouble in media isn’t just media problems, they’re societal problems. Fake news as a shorthand word can therefore be useful, but also pretty limiting while talking about fake news and the problems it speaks of and brings 2017-09-04T14:33:56+00:00 yes 840 2017 2017 the conference the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-the-new-normal https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18930236 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107547/18930236/8bbe1ed6034db1e1b58223c0c42d2fbe/video_medium/qa-the-new-normal-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107547/18930236/8bbe1ed6034db1e1b58223c0c42d2fbe/small/qa-the-new-normal-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - The New Normal Q&A with Jamie Bartlett (Demos), Amy Whitaker (New York University), and Nathaniel Raymond (Harvard Humanitarian Initiative).  Moderator: Johanna Koljonen 2017-09-04T12:43:12+00:00 yes 582 2017 the conference the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/nathaniel-raymond-the-new-normal https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18930233 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107547/18930233/61739e981161ebd852794bdac5e4855c/video_medium/nathaniel-raymond-the-new-normal-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107547/18930233/61739e981161ebd852794bdac5e4855c/small/nathaniel-raymond-the-new-normal-thumbnail.jpg Nathaniel Raymond - The New Normal "Innovation is not just a moment that can come from crisis; crisis can come from innovation." After disruption comes absorption, and that is how something new becomes normal. Nathaniel Raymond, the founding Director of the Signal Program on Human Security and Technology at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, takes us through historical moments of innovation to show how crisis can cause innovation, but also how innovation can cause crisis - something that can lead to new political, moral and ethical compounds. He argues that the absorption of innovation is now more important that invention itself. Through innovation and design, we can redefine what is normal. 2017-09-04T12:42:59+00:00 yes 882 2017 2017 the conference the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/amy-whitaker-the-new-normal https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=18930227 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107558/18930227/afb1aaa68820dbfca77cebc537e0388f/video_medium/amy-whitaker-the-new-normal-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/16107558/18930227/afb1aaa68820dbfca77cebc537e0388f/small/amy-whitaker-the-new-normal-thumbnail.jpg Amy Whitaker - The New Normal "For better of worse, we live in a very complex economy that doesn't give us space to venture into what is new" <div> </div>Amy Whitaker means that art is a process of moving forward into the unknown.

Digital artist and collector Jenny Odell talks about how work life shifted from an 8 hour workday into an always on approach. In this opening keynote, visual artist Jenny Odell will explore the architecture, politics, and rewards of nothing, arguing that the cultivation of nothing has new salience in the age of everything. She wants us to reclaim the public spaces such as parks and libraries for personal reflection and restoration. Jenny believes time and places for the practice and art of doing nothing are crucial to uncover underlying problems and to understand yourself. She regularly spends time in a nearby rosegarden for observational activities such as bird watching and doing nothing to discover what unfolds from her inner journey and peace in mind.  2017-09-04T11:02:02+00:00 yes 3448 2017 2017 the conference the conference 2017 https://theconference.twentythree.com/the-conference-2016 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14426855 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968029/14426855/a48421cd88edbbe7305563cda17fd320/video_medium/the-conference-2016-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968029/14426855/a48421cd88edbbe7305563cda17fd320/small/the-conference-2016-thumbnail.jpg The Conference 2016 Bits and pieces from The Conference week 2016.

But have we seen the peak of VR already? As a business revolving around VR this is a completely legitimate question because no one really knows how VR will play out, how we’ll profit from it. Mass adoption is still far away. So as a business where should you place your bets? David Eriksson speaks about VR with a business perspective. He means to make VR meaningful as a tool for businesses and humans we need to create experiences that people want rather than just making people wanting experiences. So when creating VR experiences we have to design for humans, not features. 2016-08-17T17:25:00+00:00 yes 938 Live recordings 2016 getting real with virtual reality the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/gabo-arora-getting-real-with-virtual-reality https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14308211 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732918/14308211/9d960e20abf46d02f5f90d177c4a76dc/video_medium/gabo-arora-getting-real-with-virtual-reality-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732918/14308211/9d960e20abf46d02f5f90d177c4a76dc/small/gabo-arora-getting-real-with-virtual-reality-thumbnail.jpg Gabo Arora - Getting real with virtual reality ”What is one person's horror is another person's revenge” Can we change people’s minds and make them act for humans in crisis with the help of new technologies? Gabo Arora from UN’s VR department believes so but you have to take a different approach than traditional mediums. VR creates opportunities for this but for people to act you need to make them feel empathy. It doesn’t work to just show people pain and suffering, because it doesn’t give you the chance to fantasize. Fantasizing is part of feeling greater empathy and that is why Gabo find ways to integrate more chances to fantasize for the user and he’s doing it through real storytelling in VR, not just pictures of pain and suffering, but with real people and real problems. 2016-08-17T17:22:37+00:00 yes 966 Live recordings 2016 getting real with virtual reality the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/caroline-sinders-online-harassment https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14308194 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968031/14308194/04c95e6fb8eda1c27c983d121b55ff72/video_medium/caroline-sinders-online-harassment-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968031/14308194/04c95e6fb8eda1c27c983d121b55ff72/small/caroline-sinders-online-harassment-thumbnail.jpg Caroline Sinders - Online Harassment ”I think people are allowed to be dicks on the internet, but people should have the choice to opt out” Designer and researcher Caroline Sinders breaks down the concept of online harassment and the legal regulations that are making it possible rather than impossible.

She finds different ways of approaching VR by figuring out where people look, what’s engaging and who the user is, all this to create meaningful universes and good stories in VR film. 2016-08-17T17:20:19+00:00 yes 909 Live recordings 2016 getting real with virtual reality the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-online-harassment https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14308171 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14308171/34054b3e3b5a85cf60898d4da27a1ca2/video_medium/qa-online-harassment-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14308171/34054b3e3b5a85cf60898d4da27a1ca2/small/qa-online-harassment-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - Online Harassment Q&A with designers Caroline Sinders (Independent) and Michelle Mederos (Facebook).

Your product is not your values” Lain Shakespeare like to compare empathetic companies to the best kind of neighbors. They have a good grasp on others perspective, are service orientated and partner with others to make a change for the better. With his role as Corporate Citizen Manager at MailChimp, Lain steer the company in the direction of acting as a good neighbor. Lain stresses the importance of defining your values and have clear examples of what your core values are. The product or service of the company isn’t necessarily its core value. Lain take Mailchimp as an example, where the words “email” and “marketing” don’t constitute their core values. Instead when they express their values for the community they speak about humility, creativity and independence. According to Lain most companies lead with what they know instead of what they are. The former tends to take on a condescending perspective which from an empathetic perspective is not optimal. Out of his own experiences, Lain talks about how companies can make a holistic beneficial impact in the community. 2016-08-17T17:14:28+00:00 yes 810 Live recordings 2016 being an empathetic company the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/marcela-sapone-being-an-empathetic-company https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14308146 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732918/14308146/93feed6383842f67598b643bbcecc06a/video_medium/marcela-sapone-being-an-empathetic-company-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732918/14308146/93feed6383842f67598b643bbcecc06a/small/marcela-sapone-being-an-empathetic-company-thumbnail.jpg Marcela Sapone - Being an empathetic company ”What’s your formula? Make it stupidly simple so you will dream about it” Marcela Sapone is the Co-Founder and CEO of Hello Alfred who has built a business model based on empathy. In the "Being an empathic company session" she talked about how to generate maximum value for your customers, employees and yourself. Hello Alfred is a part service technology company who have managers visiting their customers to take care of things for them on their behalf so that they can make the most meaningful use of their time. Hello Alfred been described as “a fixer for your life”. The trust between company and customer is so strong that Marcela states that they’re the only company in the world who have the key to its customer’s home. In order to achieve this relationship between company and customer you must be able to master what it is that you do and in a ridiculously clear way communicate it to the public. In other words, what you do is compounded by how you do it. Marcela talk us through five things on her journey with Hello Alfred that she learned by having empathy as one of the company’s cornerstone. 2016-08-17T17:12:38+00:00 yes 861 Live recordings 2016 being an empathetic company the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/leah-reich-being-an-empathetic-company https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14308076 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968032/14308076/a41f71c96f0aa03b42f0bea119a49d06/video_medium/leah-reich-being-an-empathetic-company-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968032/14308076/a41f71c96f0aa03b42f0bea119a49d06/small/leah-reich-being-an-empathetic-company-thumbnail.jpg Leah Reich - Being an empathetic company ”Empathy has morphed into a sort of catch-all for our collective desire to give a shit” When one of Leah’s bosses made her cry she was taught that under no circumstances was she allowed to cry at work and that the office was no place for emotions. It’s out of this premise that she talks about the importance of empathy at work in order to be able to look at things from different perspectives. This gets even more relevant when we’re nowadays expected to bring our whole selves to the office. At its most basic, empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. This ability is well needed if we effectively and meaningfully are to understand people that are shaped out of other norms, cultural preferences and experiences other than our own. Leah also talks about how empathy within a company is not merely the process of identify a need and fix it with a new product or service. It runs deeper than that. Empathy can give you a completely new regard for others, and by being truly empathetic at work, open up a world for better understanding. One concrete proposal from Leah to better our ability to practice empathy in our workplace is to engage in a feedback session with someone you’d struggled with. By that, you are forced to listen and understand that person and take that understanding and do something with it. Leah, PhD in sociology, consider herself as a perspective counselor. 2016-08-17T16:56:38+00:00 yes 1077 Live recordings 2016 being an empathetic company the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-being-an-empathetic-company https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14308050 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968031/14308050/9e0b732827cb56b15082ab61b272ec22/video_medium/qa-being-an-empathetic-company-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968031/14308050/9e0b732827cb56b15082ab61b272ec22/small/qa-being-an-empathetic-company-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - Being an Empathetic Company Q&A with Leah Reich (Slack), Marcela Sapone (Hello Alfred) and Lain Shakespeare (Mailchimp) Moderator: Paulina Modlitba Söderlund 2016-08-17T16:53:58+00:00 yes 672 Live recordings 2016 being an empathetic company the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/interview-isha-datar-kristin-nord https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14307907 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968032/14307907/d0ebeb030b87db3c0219fed85b02eaec/video_medium/interview-isha-datar-kristin-nord-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968032/14307907/d0ebeb030b87db3c0219fed85b02eaec/small/interview-isha-datar-kristin-nord-thumbnail.jpg Interview: Isha Datar - Kristin Nord <div><div><div>Interview with Isha Datar (New Harvest) by Kristin Nord (HD-Sydsvenskan) </div><div> </div></div></div><div></div> 2016-08-17T16:25:09+00:00 yes 957 Live recordings 2016 the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-the-future-of-food https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14307652 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732917/14307652/4c516aafbb3acd9d832c55fb2a75d24b/video_medium/qa-the-future-of-food-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732917/14307652/4c516aafbb3acd9d832c55fb2a75d24b/small/qa-the-future-of-food-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - The Future of Food Q&A with Isha Datar (New Harvest), Charles Spence (University of Oxford) and Arielle Johnson (Noma).

Smell taste, touch, vision and hearing is super important when eating food. Is there some way we can enhance the flavor of food more than using traditional ways? The wildly renowned restaurant Noma's resident scientist Arielle Johnson is a flavor scientist and right now she works on turning the knowledge and ethos of the kitchen into new inquiries and avenues for research, usually through the lens of flavor.

There a lot of alternatives to animal products but somehow it’s just not the same. How do we solve this? Isha Datar is the CEO of New Harvest, a company which uses cellular agriculture - the making of agriculture products from cell cultures rather than whole plants or animals.

We know that we eat as much with our eyes, as with our tongues and noses. We revel in sharing and browsing through gastroporn with our phones, but actually all of our senses are involved in the aesthetic experience of restaurant food. Charles presents research that shows how sound, colour – indeed the entire backdrop of the event affects what we prefer. Food companies are beginning to take an interest in these result, be it what colour plate to use or what sounds go best with seafood. And it’s not all about selling at a premium, eg. finding the ideal colour combination to convey sweetness could reduce our requirement for calories. Augmented reality could even help us recreate food products that are becoming, or already are, scarce. 2016-08-17T15:39:46+00:00 yes 1058 Live recordings 2016 future of food the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/matt-orlando-worms-sustainability-and-innovation https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14307322 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732911/14307322/5adfd2126537b365f9a07f4005e1373f/video_medium/matt-orlando-worms-sustainability-and-innovation-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732911/14307322/5adfd2126537b365f9a07f4005e1373f/small/matt-orlando-worms-sustainability-and-innovation-thumbnail.jpg Matt Orlando - Worms, sustainability and innovation ”You can teach a skill.

So-called because of its precarious situation in-and-out of employment – it has now replaced the proletariat as the new, potentially revolutionary, class. It is born out of the global market system, which our increasingly liberal and populist leaders has set up as the most unfree system ever – paradoxically, in the name of freedom. A small elite are profiteering on rents and debts, and they want you to go further into debt.  What characterizes the new class is not only that they have to work for labour, but that they lack any occupational identity. The man or woman who can no longer say ”I am…” could be likened to a person climbing up a razorblade. A new income distribution system is not only necessary – it’s a matter of social justice.<div> </div> 2016-08-17T12:21:03+00:00 yes 1320 Live recordings 2016 humans labour and technology The Conference UBI https://theconference.twentythree.com/indy-johar-democratizing-cities https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14306116 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732918/14306116/04eda118d7a6fec9fe43cd61909520a2/video_medium/indy-johar-democratizing-cities-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732918/14306116/04eda118d7a6fec9fe43cd61909520a2/small/indy-johar-democratizing-cities-thumbnail.jpg Indy Johar - Democratizing cities ”Every human is a phenomenally powerfully intelligence machine, yet we all treat them as bad robots who won't get it” Indy Johar is not only the co-founder of Zero Zero, he’s also an architect.

With he question ”Can public art have intelligence, memory and culture?” as a starting point he showcases how he use architecture as canvas and light as a material.  2016-08-16T17:43:13+00:00 yes 872 Live recordings 2016 Generative Design The Conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/samim-a-winiger-generative-design-1 https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14301507 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968033/14301507/ec35c0943687545c447bfa05c7a2566e/video_medium/samim-a-winiger-generative-design-1-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968033/14301507/ec35c0943687545c447bfa05c7a2566e/small/samim-a-winiger-generative-design-1-thumbnail.jpg Samim A. Winiger - Generative Design ”Generative A.I. systems are making a wide range of creative skills more accessible. Radically more accessible.” Creative.AI co-founder Samim A Winiger gives a quick introduction to creativity in relation to machine learning and AI. Today it is possible to generate virtual worlds with billions of unique planets. But how do we think about creativity and how do we build systems for it?  One example Samim gives is a music mood agent he worked on for a contemporary band. It produced 10,000 potential songs - not to circumvent the creative process but to spark inspiration. Samim believes these kinds of tools can potentially democratize style in the future. Highly complex creative arts such as font design, photography or manga can be generated automatically. Unique skills could be made more accessible through generative design.<div> </div> 2016-08-16T17:41:10+00:00 yes 1177 Live recordings 2016 Generative Design The Conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/deborah-harrison-artificial-intelligence-in https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14301440 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732916/14301440/5ff828c8fe75e88ebd2c79c7c5034d35/video_medium/deborah-harrison-artificial-intelligence-in-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732916/14301440/5ff828c8fe75e88ebd2c79c7c5034d35/small/deborah-harrison-artificial-intelligence-in-thumbnail.jpg Deborah Harrison - Artificial Intelligence in Services ”Familiarity breeds comfort” Deborah is a writer working with Microsoft’s Cortana AI, meant for common platforms like smartphones and computers.

She means that providing wifi connection and laptops in refugee camps are just as essential as providing clean water and food, since information can keep people alive. While engaging with technology could help meet the urgent need that migrants have for someone to listen, humanitarian organizations must keep in mind not to replace human touch with technology. Being ready to listen is the only way to know that the help they provide is actually solving problems. 2016-08-16T17:25:40+00:00 yes 646 Live recordings 2016 migration the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/dragana-kaurin-migration https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14301412 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968030/14301412/8938ff5e093505f3c8629320e24c9cc2/video_medium/dragana-kaurin-migration-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968030/14301412/8938ff5e093505f3c8629320e24c9cc2/small/dragana-kaurin-migration-thumbnail.jpg Dragana Kaurin - Migration ”Design with your end users, not for them” There’s a huge communication gap when it comes to refugees and how they are treated.

Passionate about digital communication, Dragana Kaurin, founder of Localization Lab believes that technology and social media can help development and humanitarian work to take place with the consent, understanding, and full participation of the vulnerable people it seeks to support. Technology has to replicate real-life community structures, so when not working with your end user on the development stage you’re doing it wrong. 2016-08-16T17:24:06+00:00 yes 880 Live recordings 2016 The Conference migration https://theconference.twentythree.com/latoya-peterson-migration https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14301391 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968033/14301391/7bd662d0ffe1c8ea3bfd28e8f734fbf4/video_medium/latoya-peterson-migration-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968033/14301391/7bd662d0ffe1c8ea3bfd28e8f734fbf4/small/latoya-peterson-migration-thumbnail.jpg Latoya Peterson - Migration ”When we pack refugees into this place where they just have to wait, we are forcing these people to an underground economy” Being a refugee today means being an economic outsider; essentially living in a state of limbo. When people are forced to wait in camps, they are forced to live in a provisional economy consisting only of small trade within its borders. In many cases, these camps create the division of the digitally connected and the digitally marginalized, dividing the world into two halves. Latoya Peterson, writer and founder of the Award-winning blog Racialicious, speaks about the digital divide and the blogging that changed her life. She urges us to speak up and ask the question of who we are including and excluding and to think of what consequences it will have for future generations. 2016-08-16T17:21:58+00:00 yes 826 Live recordings 2016 The Conference migration https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-ai-in-services https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14301316 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732911/14301316/477820571f93133cf805c3831183a490/video_medium/qa-ai-in-services-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732911/14301316/477820571f93133cf805c3831183a490/small/qa-ai-in-services-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - AI in Services Q&A with Maya Weinstein (IBM Watson) and Deborah Harrison (Microsoft Cortana) Moderator: Paulina Modlitba Söderlund 2016-08-16T17:06:46+00:00 yes 534 Live recordings 2016 artificial intelligence in services the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/interview-fernanda-saboia-andreas-ekstrom https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14300831 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732916/14300831/ffbd559f469710ef53e8f474968753c4/video_medium/interview-fernanda-saboia-andreas-ekstrom-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732916/14300831/ffbd559f469710ef53e8f474968753c4/small/interview-fernanda-saboia-andreas-ekstrom-thumbnail.jpg Interview: Fernanda Saboia - Andreas Ekström Interview: Fernanda Saboia - Andreas Ekström 2016-08-16T15:53:28+00:00 yes 707 Live recordings 2016 the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-extremist-communication https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14300693 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732917/14300693/231e86c107951e4d1c8299b90fcfe0f8/video_medium/qa-extremist-communication-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732917/14300693/231e86c107951e4d1c8299b90fcfe0f8/small/qa-extremist-communication-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - Extremist communication Q&A with Michael Krona (Malmö University) & Maura Conway (Dublin City University) Moderator: Anders Mildner 2016-08-16T15:32:35+00:00 yes 1028 Live recordings 2016 The Conference extremist communication https://theconference.twentythree.com/martin-hoffmann-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14300687 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14300687/0988d364d199b33cb778254051eb7866/video_medium/martin-hoffmann-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14300687/0988d364d199b33cb778254051eb7866/small/martin-hoffmann-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-thumbnail.jpg Martin Hoffmann - One to one - a new mode of communication, ”The next big job in digital journalism is the copywriter… Who else should feed your bots?” Are chat bots and conversational journalism really the future?

We often tend to lump different kind of extreme right groups together, even though they can look very different. One key characteristic though, that they tend to have in common, is a core that aims at making fundamental changes to democratic systems and a concept of supremacism, with certain people being superior to all other and a hostility towards immigrants. Their methods on the internet consists of coding by colors, visual expressions and linguistics. The communication by these codes are supposed to maintain the already established extreme right communities which also extend in the more general parts of the internet with the objective to gain more sympathizers. The areas of the internet where this communication is taking place have shifted over time from websites to forums, among them big communication platforms like Reddit and 4chan. A widespread perception among the general public is that extreme groups going online is something rather new. But ever since the earliest days of mainstream usage of internet a whole range of groups have turned to it for similar purposes as extreme right movements at the present day. Maura stresses the need to ask bigger questions in order to prevent this from expanding even further which indicates not to solely focus on the technologies themselves but also on people and behavior patterns. How significant was the internet in terms of the radicalization process of these people and what content had the most profound effect?     2016-08-16T15:30:12+00:00 yes 1389 Live recordings 2016 The Conference extremist communication https://theconference.twentythree.com/fernanda-saboia-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14300661 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732916/14300661/4da48c3e0795d7d68d3b38d18bb527ee/video_medium/fernanda-saboia-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732916/14300661/4da48c3e0795d7d68d3b38d18bb527ee/small/fernanda-saboia-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-thumbnail.jpg Fernanda Saboia - One to One - A New Mode of Communication ”Messaging has an analog precedent.

Terror attacks are taking place all over the world, spreading a fear that is changing our society. Extremist groups have proven the effectivity and success of their marketing and recruitment techniques many times over, using tools that we know well. Michael Krona, Senior lecturer and researcher at Malmö University, has spent the last two years researching the propaganda of the terror organization ISIS. He explains the two main stories being told by ISIS through their propaganda; the story of a well functioning, harmonic caliphate, depicting peaceful social life and playing children, and the heroism of being a fighter, glorifying the role of the militant soldier. The narration of extreme violence that our mainstream media channels frequently report about is only 3 % of the propaganda ISIS is transmitting online. In order to counter this type of propaganda, he argues that more interdisciplinary research is needed and that a deeper understanding of the people being affected by the propaganda is key. 2016-08-16T15:26:15+00:00 yes 1069 Live recordings 2016 The Conference extremist communication https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-communication https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14300596 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14300596/e739ffd802edf95390942df1e1f4b60e/video_medium/qa-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-communication-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14300596/e739ffd802edf95390942df1e1f4b60e/small/qa-one-to-one-a-new-mode-of-communication-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - One-to-one - a new mode of communication Q&A with Fernanda Saboia (Huge inc) & Martin Hoffman (ConvJournalism) Moderator: Paulina Modlitba Söderlund <table><tbody><tr><td> </td></tr><tr><td> </td></tr></tbody></table> 2016-08-16T15:16:53+00:00 yes 577 Live recordings 2016 one to one - a new mode of communication the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/clive-thompson-hacking-minecraft https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14300485 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968033/14300485/f941497d62b06b0bf1e55b8da4beb09b/video_medium/clive-thompson-hacking-minecraft-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/13968033/14300485/f941497d62b06b0bf1e55b8da4beb09b/small/clive-thompson-hacking-minecraft-thumbnail.jpg Clive Thompson - Hacking Minecraft ”Cultural change can never come from above, it comes when the conditions are right” With our time’s closed computers, where tinkering and tweaking isn’t possible, where do kids go to create in the digital world?

She compares modern digital technology with mediums from previous historical contexts, and how the conviction to convey an objective version of the world with the help of these mediums inevitably make us believe that this representation of the world reflects its true character. We like to think of technology as something that will help us to make better sense of the world more effectively, but Tricia argues that it instead often makes things less clear. This gets even more troublesome when we tend to rely on the technology to bring the world to us without experience it in its natural form. We need to ask ourselves who it is that gets to construct this truth and from what perspective. The lack of different perspectives in technological development risk to create a one-sided representation that, intentionally or unintentionally, neglects the diversity of our world and the communities within. When companies set up algorithms or other more autonomous technical solutions, the design in many cases is a progeny of their own singular perspective which can lead to unfortunate consequences. Tricia also discusses virtual reality and the way that we like to put a great amount of faith to it in order to make us more empathetic with its attributes to include multiple perspectives in a single technology. Still its creator has to decide what’s worthy to film and from which perspective. This could potentially lead to what Tricia labels as perspective collision, when the things we design get used in such ways that it reveals the limited perspective of the designers themselves. Instead, companies should strive to adopt a perspective shift, the ability to see the world from another point of view, essentially empathy. Throughout history, art have generated, and generating, vastly different perspectives of reality which companies need to contemplate more on how to integrate in different aspects of their work. Only half the dream of a global village has come true, the technical part. The social part is lacking. 2016-08-16T11:09:18+00:00 yes 3122 Live recordings 2016 Tricia Wang the conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/hey-elbow https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=14298996 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14298996/552de52eb47b7e63258ab1bceff2d410/video_medium/hey-elbow-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/12732915/14298996/552de52eb47b7e63258ab1bceff2d410/small/hey-elbow-thumbnail.jpg Hey Elbow Hey Elbow introduces The Conference 2016-08-16T10:44:43+00:00 yes 255 Live recordings 2016 Hey Elbow music The Conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/robots-humans-and-artificial https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=12738307 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820444/12738307/bfcef54d0d3bfa510fc400bfe951b4fe/video_medium/robots-humans-and-artificial-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820444/12738307/bfcef54d0d3bfa510fc400bfe951b4fe/small/robots-humans-and-artificial-thumbnail.jpg Robots, Humans and Artificial Intelligence Q&A Kate Darling (MIT Media Lab) & Mike Hearn, Bitcoin developer. 2016-02-05T16:16:25+00:00 yes 890 Q&A 2015 robots humans and artificial intelligence https://theconference.twentythree.com/petter-johansson-interview https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=12097941 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820442/12097941/2d9d8994bff87deaff554b3b94a3f8dd/video_medium/petter-johansson-interview-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820442/12097941/2d9d8994bff87deaff554b3b94a3f8dd/small/petter-johansson-interview-thumbnail.jpg Petter Johansson - Interview After his <a href="http://videos.theconference.se/petter-johansson-decision-and-choice">great talk on choice blindness</a> we sat down with Lund University Researcher Petter Johansson for a quick chat about his work in the field.  2015-08-25T13:46:23+00:00 yes 255 2015 https://theconference.twentythree.com/kate-darling-interview-on-robot-ethics https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=12097890 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820439/12097890/bca514a7648f8de41c6051ac4b93702a/video_medium/kate-darling-interview-on-robot-ethics-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820439/12097890/bca514a7648f8de41c6051ac4b93702a/small/kate-darling-interview-on-robot-ethics-thumbnail.jpg Kate Darling - Interview on robot ethics After her <a href="http://videos.theconference.se/kate-darling-robots-humans-and">great talk on the robot-human relationship</a>, we sat down with MIT Media Lab robot specialist Kate Darling for a quick chat about her work in the field.  2015-08-25T13:33:58+00:00 yes 198 2015 2015 robots humans and artificial intelligence https://theconference.twentythree.com/nina-persson-oskar-humlebo-lovefool https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=12082435 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820443/12082435/755b1a0172f64ea5d4ef38173f00b5b7/video_medium/nina-persson-oskar-humlebo-lovefool-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/10820443/12082435/755b1a0172f64ea5d4ef38173f00b5b7/small/nina-persson-oskar-humlebo-lovefool-thumbnail.jpg Nina Persson & Oskar Humlebo - Lovefool Nina Persson and Oskar Humlebo opened the second day of The Conference 2015 with The Cardigans' mega hit Lovefool. Just before a session on Hate & Heroism.

Lately there’s been a lot of buzz about the internet of things, wearable devices and big data. Sometimes these technological improvements go silent and sometimes a long time passes before they are being adopted by the majority of people. Often it’s the lack of good interfaces and design that is the main obstacle to come over to get new technologies off the ground. This is a big opportunity for companies that can figure it out. This session is about how we approach new technologies from a design and communication perspective. It ties in well with the one on paying attention and solving real world problems from day 1. Ivan Poupyrev, Technical Program Lead, Google ATAP An award-winning scientist, inventor and designer working at the cutting edge of interaction technologies blending digital and physical realities.

To make sense of technology we need to use it in new and interesting ways. Instead of just ending up in a large pile of junk, how can we think beyond gadgets? Can we make it more sustainable by making the physical world interactive? Labeled one of the best interaction designers in the world, Ivan Poupyrev, Technical Program Lead at the Google's Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP), shows some mind-blowing examples of combining new technology with our environment.  2014-08-20T17:29:06+00:00 yes 1608 New Technologies 2014 making sense of new technologies https://theconference.twentythree.com/lisa-lindstrom-rethink-work-life https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160382 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160382/a2a9d707e7018ae6953b127f27fdc521/video_medium/lisa-lindstrom-rethink-work-life-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160382/a2a9d707e7018ae6953b127f27fdc521/small/lisa-lindstrom-rethink-work-life-thumbnail.jpg Lisa Lindström - Rethink (work) life "To be able to do better things, you need to invest in trust."

With examples of tools, tips and tricks, Lisa is showing us ways to fast-forward trust - both with our colleagues and our costumers.   2014-08-20T17:24:59+00:00 yes 1890 Collaborative Creation 2014 rethink (work) life https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-machines-understanding-of-humans https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160381 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160381/71a3b930bc23427a3b327a3310c63a90/video_medium/qa-machines-understanding-of-humans-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160381/71a3b930bc23427a3b327a3310c63a90/small/qa-machines-understanding-of-humans-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - MACHINES UNDERSTANDING OF HUMANS It’s an exciting proposition, to have robots and computers do stuff that are heavy, boring or time consuming. But, to really get machines and robots to work for us in a helpful and meaningful way we need to first let them learn what it’s like to be human. The question we need to ask ourselves is how we make it easier for the machines to take over. In this session two thought leaders in the field will talk about the need to digitize our world for a computer based beings to understand it. The session closes the loop we started day 1 with the session on what drives humans. Amir Rubin, co-founder, Paracosm Amir will talk about how a constantly updated 3D map in the cloud allows for a generation of apps that can understand and interact with the environment. Nell Watson, CEO, Poikos Nell will investigate humanity’s present and future, with regards to how we program machines as tools through which to program ourselves. 2014-08-20T17:24:42+00:00 yes 1109 Q&A 2014 machines understanding of humans https://theconference.twentythree.com/amir-rubin-machines-understanding-of https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160374 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160374/37f831c54917ea24a3309106fd7dd80f/video_medium/amir-rubin-machines-understanding-of-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160374/37f831c54917ea24a3309106fd7dd80f/small/amir-rubin-machines-understanding-of-thumbnail.jpg Amir Rubin - Machines Understanding of Humans "What if machines could sense the world the same way humans do?" Perceptions shape our experiences and allows us to experience new realities. Having machines perceive the world as humans, do open up for a new paradigm of what it means to experience content.  By using laser sensors we can create exact 3D replicas of the physical world, bringing the content into our reality instead of the other way around. Paracosm co-founder Amir Rubin explains and shows examples of how it can be used.  2014-08-20T17:22:19+00:00 yes 818 New Technologies 2014 machines understanding of humans https://theconference.twentythree.com/nell-watson-machines-will-replace-humans-at https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160370 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160370/4276d198724095fe415694f538f3ad48/video_medium/nell-watson-machines-will-replace-humans-at-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160370/4276d198724095fe415694f538f3ad48/small/nell-watson-machines-will-replace-humans-at-thumbnail.jpg Nell Watson - Machines will replace humans at every level "Machines will replace humans at every level." Children automatically gather a lot of capabilities and evolve through pattern recognition. When can we teach machines to do the same? According to Nell Watson, CEO of Poikos, we are already on our way. As the technology grows more powerful and sophisticated, we are moving towards creating true artificial intelligence. We are already at the stage of a bee and it's only a matter of time until our new colleague's mind was created by IBM.  2014-08-20T17:21:14+00:00 yes 1009 New Technologies 2014 curator's collection machines understanding of humans https://theconference.twentythree.com/jessica-lawrence-the-way-we-work-is-no-longer https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160366 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160366/70a7745d7e3e81e1166fcb574b24279d/video_medium/jessica-lawrence-the-way-we-work-is-no-longer-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160366/70a7745d7e3e81e1166fcb574b24279d/small/jessica-lawrence-the-way-we-work-is-no-longer-thumbnail.jpg Jessica Lawrence - The way we work is no longer working "The way we work is no longer working." Many organisations, old and new, are facing challenges when it comes to company culture. Jessica Lawrence, Executive Director at NY Tech Meetup, argues that in order to help people flourish and innovations to take place, we need to change the way we work and date to defy unhealthy company cultures. And that doesn't just mean offering a free lunch or putting up a ping-pong table.  2014-08-20T17:19:56+00:00 yes 1588 How To Make It Happen 2014 newyork rethink (work) life https://theconference.twentythree.com/nonny-de-la-pena-immersive-storytelling https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160357 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160357/55c50d1449978e0a339d39f9482b420e/video_medium/nonny-de-la-pena-immersive-storytelling-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160357/55c50d1449978e0a339d39f9482b420e/small/nonny-de-la-pena-immersive-storytelling-thumbnail.jpg Nonny de la Peña - Immersive storytelling "It starts to feel very actual after a while."

Designer Jill Nussbaum takes a closer look at storytelling from a design perspective and discusses how stories can be a framework to help imagine the future of products and services. Good stories have the ability to take new ideas and put them in a context that everybody understands. But today's designers are envisioning a future of how things can potentially be, and need to be able to communicate this to their clients.  Design fiction, as a kind of idea prototyping, will help to inspire and image the future.  2014-08-20T17:13:21+00:00 yes 923 Storytelling 2014 newyork the craft of storytelling https://theconference.twentythree.com/brian-reed-how-to-construct-a-compelling-story https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160333 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160333/063843ea8f2234fd6d12d79b9448ae78/video_medium/brian-reed-how-to-construct-a-compelling-story-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160333/063843ea8f2234fd6d12d79b9448ae78/small/brian-reed-how-to-construct-a-compelling-story-thumbnail.jpg Brian Reed - How to construct a compelling story "A story should make a larger point about human experience and the world." Brian Reed is a producer at This American Life, the creators of the recent mega hit podcast Serial. He gives an insight about important basic elements to be able to craft a good story. In This American Life, he and his colleagues focus on three things: action, reflection and stakes. Put together, these become really powerful. But you also need to think about motion when telling a story, as this will pull people forward and make them actually listen.  2014-08-20T17:05:30+00:00 yes 954 Storytelling 2014 curator's collection execution of ideas newyork https://theconference.twentythree.com/brian-reed-interview https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160183 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160183/d82fe9d35146532611fa70df627a425e/video_medium/brian-reed-interview-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160183/d82fe9d35146532611fa70df627a425e/small/brian-reed-interview-thumbnail.jpg Brian Reed - Interview Brian Reed interviewed by Andreas Ekström, Sydsvenskan. 2014-08-20T16:32:24+00:00 yes 1099 Storytelling 2014 interview the craft of storytelling https://theconference.twentythree.com/stephanie-pereira-interview https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10160165 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160165/b38507e4b231f19f3fede889e8be1295/video_medium/stephanie-pereira-interview-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10160165/b38507e4b231f19f3fede889e8be1295/small/stephanie-pereira-interview-thumbnail.jpg Stephanie Pereira - Interview Stephanie Pereira from Kickstarter interviewed by Andreas Ekström. 2014-08-20T16:25:56+00:00 yes 774 Collaborative Creation 2014 interview https://theconference.twentythree.com/qa-community-building https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10159937 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10159937/9cc1c87dd31e52bb920c4a18376757cd/video_medium/qa-community-building-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10159937/9cc1c87dd31e52bb920c4a18376757cd/small/qa-community-building-thumbnail.jpg Q&A - Community Building The collaboration and the creative force that are generated when people are coming together to exchange ideas and cooperate is a fundamental part of the success of today’s cities, companies and individuals.

It’s essential for all kinds of communication and business, whether it’s trust in people, companies, brands or institutions. Over the years we’ve developed methods to establish trustworthy relationships between entities that don’t know each other. In this session you will learn how new technologies are allowing us to bring our good reputation with us, as well as establishing trust without a third party entity. Juan Cartagena, founder and CEO of Traity Juan will talk about how technology can aid trust making between people who don’t know each other by collecting reputation from different platforms in one place.

What does a creative process look like? Few things can be as personal and abstract as the creative process. Artist Jenny Wilson talk about her voyage going from a hollow shell to having a finished album. How the initiating stages of a shut down intellect and vacant space slowly fills up with elusive signals of inspiration. The fear of acting on these signals as they surely will lead to a long and heavy task of collecting material but at the same time the satisfaction of feeling alive and sparkling.  2014-08-20T11:14:23+00:00 yes 3085 How To Make It Happen 2014 keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/david-gram-increasing-the-longevity-of https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10156303 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10156303/f0471f290efc282d425517d565196173/video_medium/david-gram-increasing-the-longevity-of-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10156303/f0471f290efc282d425517d565196173/small/david-gram-increasing-the-longevity-of-thumbnail.jpg David Gram - Increasing the Longevity of Content "We are like mad scientists that are allowed to experiment."

We learn how to interact with the community we live in. In our early days it’s ok to ask a lot of questions and to learn by doing and failing. Somewhere along the way we become less inclined to play and test to learn how things work, and it seems like we are supposed to know everything about what we do (listen to a politician interviewed on telly). A lot of us forget that craft of testing our way forward. But, there is a global maker movement that is all about trying things out and building prototypes to understand if an idea works and if there’s a market for it. In this session you will learn about how you can prototype everything from business models to technology. Erik Thorstensson, Co-founder, Creatables Erik is a mechanical engineer, serial entrepreneur and maker of things and was named maker of the year 2014 by Maker Fair.

Just like the combustion engine and electricity came to be revolutionary for human networking, we should focus on how we can use the internet to change the world we live in.   2014-08-19T17:08:30+00:00 yes 1556 Research Methodology 2014 solving real world problems https://theconference.twentythree.com/juliana-rotich-how-to-enable-others-to-make https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10155439 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155439/bac7ffdfd85ef304612210c42461920b/video_medium/juliana-rotich-how-to-enable-others-to-make-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155439/bac7ffdfd85ef304612210c42461920b/small/juliana-rotich-how-to-enable-others-to-make-thumbnail.jpg Juliana Rotich - How to enable others to make things happen "It is in sharing that we create value." Out of the need for better media coverage, Ushahidi was born. Co-founder Juliana Rotich explains why this new technology is a door opener to create a more transparent and better world - not only in Africa, but also on a global scale.  Through the concept of crowdsourcing, knowledge is being put in people's hands. This enables us to find true stories in data and give the world a better picture of what is really going on.  2014-08-19T15:28:33+00:00 yes 2607 New Technologies 2014 keynote https://theconference.twentythree.com/eva-hoffman-interview https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10155147 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155147/0dae02a857ab6103f5d0cef57421dc39/video_medium/eva-hoffman-interview-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155147/0dae02a857ab6103f5d0cef57421dc39/small/eva-hoffman-interview-thumbnail.jpg Eva Hoffman - Interview Eva Hoffman interviewed by Andreas Ekström from Sydsvenskan. 2014-08-19T14:20:26+00:00 yes 719 Q&A 2014 interview https://theconference.twentythree.com/sille-krukow-behavioral-design https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10155120 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155120/f14e1c871110cde7c050018072a9ae3d/video_medium/sille-krukow-behavioral-design-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155120/f14e1c871110cde7c050018072a9ae3d/small/sille-krukow-behavioral-design-thumbnail.jpg Sille Krukow - Behavioral design "Why is it so hard to change our behaviour on an every day basis?" Nudge and behavioural design expert Sille Krukow explains that changing human behaviour is not just about having the right knowledge. Often, we are not even able to explain why we do the things that we do. But by observing both the behaviour and the context, it is possible to use design to change our habits to the better.  2014-08-19T14:09:24+00:00 yes 907 Human Behavior 2014 paying attention https://theconference.twentythree.com/ge-jin-offline-context-and-online-stories https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10155115 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155115/460a392deb8651ece8e5949f5344c3a8/video_medium/ge-jin-offline-context-and-online-stories-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155115/460a392deb8651ece8e5949f5344c3a8/small/ge-jin-offline-context-and-online-stories-thumbnail.jpg Ge - Jin - Offline context and online stories "There is always an inspiration waiting to be found."

Everybody has, at one point, wondered what we as humans are and are made of. Elaine Hsiao, Senior Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology, responds to the latter with a simple answer: microorganisms.  They are also referred to as "the forgotten organ", since not a lot of people are actually aware that more than 10 000 unique species of microbiota inhabit every exposed surface of the body. Not only do these play important roles in biological processes - they also impact behaviour, health and disease.  2014-08-19T13:50:36+00:00 yes 1090 Human Behavior 2014 brain heart gut https://theconference.twentythree.com/caroline-jonsson-how-human-motivation-works https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10155041 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155041/65c6ed79a8f16e53aed144c63033c79d/video_medium/caroline-jonsson-how-human-motivation-works-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155041/65c6ed79a8f16e53aed144c63033c79d/small/caroline-jonsson-how-human-motivation-works-thumbnail.jpg Caroline Jönsson - How human motivation works "The ultimate power is decision." Sport psychologist and former football player Caroline Jönsson looks into human driving forces from the heart's perspective and explains the nature of human motivation.  What is it really that drives us? This is a frequently asked question, especially in sports, that cannot be generally answered. The main driver depends on the individual's own values. But following our hearts is something that we all should have in common, because that is what gives us ultimate fulfillment.  2014-08-19T13:47:33+00:00 yes 981 Human Behavior 2014 brain heart gut https://theconference.twentythree.com/daniel-margulies-the-mind-is-anything-but-silent https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10155008 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155008/43b4ff0b70609f74e81ad2c67acf8f81/video_medium/daniel-margulies-the-mind-is-anything-but-silent-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10155008/43b4ff0b70609f74e81ad2c67acf8f81/small/daniel-margulies-the-mind-is-anything-but-silent-thumbnail.jpg Daniel Margulies - The mind is anything but silent "The mind is anything but silent!" To be able to understand human behaviour, the activity level of the brain is vital. Did you know that the brain is always active, no matter what we are doing?

Author Eva Hoffman points to the fact that lived time today is a highly valuable entity. She speaks of how digital technology has changed our perception of time, whilst our body and mind still follow its own biological pace, playing a vital role to our well-being.  Therefore, to really experience our experiences, we occasionally need to unwind - and unplug. 2014-08-19T11:51:32+00:00 yes 1108 Human Behavior 2014 an hour on time https://theconference.twentythree.com/molly-crabapple-art-and-the-network https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=10154445 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10154445/e2f81f169b38b9682cc57ec6a6ef6caa/video_medium/molly-crabapple-art-and-the-network-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/9826383/10154445/e2f81f169b38b9682cc57ec6a6ef6caa/small/molly-crabapple-art-and-the-network-thumbnail.jpg Molly Crabapple - Art and the network "A sketchpad can go places cameras cannot look." For Molly Crabapple, art is the discipline of seeing. Together with her sketchpad, she has been able to see things cameras couldn't - portraying Guantanamo Bay prisoners, Occupy Wall Street protesters and Syrian refugees.  Molly talks of the importance of drawing in a networked world, where there are more images than ever before. She also challenges us as listeners to draw. Because even though it can't change the world, it might make us see it a bit differently.  2014-08-19T11:19:51+00:00 yes 2396 Storytelling 2014 keynote newyork https://theconference.twentythree.com/the-conference https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=9748945 https://theconference.twentythree.com/7718128/9748945/1ef7d5d6a9a78e1fb6592afcfd405180/video_medium/the-conference-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/7718128/9748945/1ef7d5d6a9a78e1fb6592afcfd405180/small/the-conference-thumbnail.jpg The Conference Bits and pieces from The Conference 2013. 2014-04-25T13:12:31+00:00 yes 73 About https://theconference.twentythree.com/fabian-hemmert-tactility-in-a-digital-world https://theconference.twentythree.com/v.ihtml/player.html?photo_id=8604896 https://theconference.twentythree.com/7718128/8604896/0c8b7252002807e1c316564b09bcad8f/video_medium/fabian-hemmert-tactility-in-a-digital-world-video.mp4 https://theconference.twentythree.com/7718128/8604896/0c8b7252002807e1c316564b09bcad8f/small/fabian-hemmert-tactility-in-a-digital-world-thumbnail.jpg Fabian Hemmert - Tactility in a digital world Fabian Hemmert is a Design Researcher concerned with the role of our body in our interactions with technology.
