This feels like an inevitable state of affairs, but Alex Soojung-Kim Pang argues in his talk that it is not. Drawing on recent work in embodied cognition, contemplative practices, and interface design, he describes how we can create and use information technologies in a more thoughtful, meditative way, to help us work in a more sustained, creative and focused manner. He also explains what contemplative computing might mean for individuals as well as corporations, institutions and civic actors. 881 2011-09-19T16:09:01+00:00 yes 1284 4.0 Approaches & methods 2011 Lift Soojung-Kim Pang computing contemplative fing france information marseille technology http://videos.liftconference.com/video/3093167/philippe-lemoine-wrap-up-and http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=3093167 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984082/3093167/e8f1e9b10eaf5ea29f843ade69e3798c/video_medium/philippe-lemoine-wrap-up-and-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984082/3093167/e8f1e9b10eaf5ea29f843ade69e3798c/small Philippe Lemoine "Wrap up and Take aways" In his speech, Philippe Lemoine sum up all sessions that took place at Lift France 11 and brightly concludes by some inspiring take aways. 294 2011-08-31T13:21:42+00:00 yes 592 Stories & Inspiration 2011 Fing France Lift Marseille Philippe Lemoine conclusion http://videos.liftconference.com/video/3075839/alexandra-deschamps-sonsino http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=3075839 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984075/3075839/cc30eaa6bd83902452261ff80e0f941a/video_medium/alexandra-deschamps-sonsino-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984075/3075839/cc30eaa6bd83902452261ff80e0f941a/small Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino "Homesense project: agile and open innovation against all odds" In her speech, Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino gives an update on the methodology and results employed in the Homesense experiment: a project that rethinks how we design smart homes and investigate how we interact with technologies at home.

The focus on sophisticated technology - electric and hybrid cars, energy-efficient devices, solar panels and wind turbines, for instance - has little or no effect because these green technologies require large amounts of energy and resources for their manufacture, which makes their development highly dependent on a continuous supply of fossil fuels. What we need to solve our problems is exactly the opposite: less sophisticated technology. There is a lot to learn from the past. While they often worked surprisingly good, most of low-tech solutions have been completely forgotten. In his speech, Kris de Decker explains that reverting to past technologies does not mean that we should go back to the Middle Ages. Rather, it means combining old tech with new knowledge and new materials, or applying old concepts and lost knowledge to modern technology. 285 2011-08-27T15:39:25+00:00 yes 1405 Approaches & methods 2011 Fing Kris de Decker Lift Marseille development france low tech slow http://videos.liftconference.com/video/3007438/gabriel-borges-open-innovation http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=3007438 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984080/3007438/292f47765f2184413e959aebb792423d/video_medium/gabriel-borges-open-innovation-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984080/3007438/292f47765f2184413e959aebb792423d/small Gabriel Borges "Open innovation initiatives" Gabriel shares the experiences of two different initiatives based on open innovation. One from a group of friends that got tired of not having the international concerts they wanted in their city, and decided to produce them by themselves with the help of social media. The other project comes from Fiat that decided to invite the consumers to help in the design of a concept car. Almost 15 months later, the auto-maker had a new concept model created with the help of 17 thousand people. Both projects were held in Brazil, a nation that is beholding an almost silent digital revolution as result of their current economy arose. 804 2011-08-23T18:01:08+00:00 yes 1289 5.0 Stories & Inspiration 2011 Brazil Fing France Gabriel Borges Lift Marseille car digital experience open social media http://videos.liftconference.com/video/3006490/anna-meroni-feeding-milano-a http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=3006490 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984076/3006490/54c4565e391614570d1d63119c9eab49/video_medium/anna-meroni-feeding-milano-a-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984076/3006490/54c4565e391614570d1d63119c9eab49/small Anna Meroni "Feeding Milano: a human platform to regain the meaning of slowness" Food, in Latin cultures, means conviviality, pleasure, taking care of the others and being loved. How can the principle of conviviality, as pleasurable and collaborative relationship, change the way a city feed itself? Anna Meroni believes this principle impacts also the way in which producers and consumers get in touch and exchange produce and knowledge.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">Anna Meroni created in Milano, together with Slow Food, a human platform supported by information technology that is designing and prototyping a number of new services to shorten the food chain and feed the city. We can see this platform as a design supported community that is experimenting a brand new system of possibilities to create a sustainable foodshed, by building a network of trust and sympathy among producers themselves and with consumers. It encourages the last mile to be a human mile and relationships to happen, which implies also for designers being there and creating human links as a way to operate. In her speech, Anna Meroni addresses the design challenge of making that possible. 302 2011-08-23T14:46:37+00:00 yes 1418 5.0 Life & Society 2011 Anna Meroni Fing France Lift Marseille collaborative food slow http://videos.liftconference.com/video/3000915/geoff-mulgan-openness-and http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=3000915 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984081/3000915/af7cc45b371d66e7502ce06d50b1726f/video_medium/geoff-mulgan-openness-and-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984081/3000915/af7cc45b371d66e7502ce06d50b1726f/small Geoff Mulgan "Openness and collective intelligence, its prospects and its challenges" In his speech, Geoff Mulgan talks about collective intelligence and how we think about the idea of openness.

Old economic structures are being challenged by newer ones and networked technologies are changing the way we can distribute resources. For a world with so limited resources, it's amazing how much idle-capacity we have at the moment. This does not only apply to natural resources such as minerals and forests, but also applies to human resources, such as knowledge, skills, and tangible resources such as tools and equipment. In his presentation, Edial Dekker dives deeper in the role of social layers connected to the 'social object' of distributed resources and the effects that it has on the network. The talk will touch the concept of a trusted network, the rise of the micro-entrepreneur and why it challenges us to rethink the way corporations and organizations are structured. 678 2011-08-22T17:54:57+00:00 yes 1316 Business & Entrepreneurs 2011 Edial Dekker Fing Learn Work corporation entrepreneur lift marseille organization resources http://videos.liftconference.com/video/2998627/ville-kernen-from-team-academy http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=2998627 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984074/2998627/482a64905bc70ba749c9f6eb83972cae/video_medium/ville-kernen-from-team-academy-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/1984074/2998627/482a64905bc70ba749c9f6eb83972cae/small Ville Keränen "From Team Academy to the future: Building organizations for humans" In his speech, Ville Keränen presents the Team Academy, founded in 1993 by Johannes Partanen.

However, the rate of success of development projects, in particular white space or disruptive innovation projects remains too low.<br /> We believe that a reason for the low success rate is the erroneous application of methods designed for incremental innovation like Stage Gate to projects with high levels of uncertainty. In this presentation we will discuss the different types of development projects based on degree of uncertainty, and the creation of different project tracks.

We are living in a hyperindustrial society where the usage of energy and materials keeps increasing. He uses a hypothetical example about traveling to Mars to explain that we can't sustain our life without closing the loops -- ie. living like the biosphere: space missions show us that there are limits to economic activity. The biosphere is a model for the economy. It's both a constraint, but also a source of innovation. If you develop sophisticated techs for really recycling all materials.</p> <p>Industrial ecology (where ecology is the science of ecosystems) has three specificities:</p> <p>we need a broad and rigorous conceptual framework to approach the long-term evolution of the industrial and economic system and how it interacts with the biosphere.<br /> it's coupled with an operational strategy, so it's a conceptual framework for action: you can't just recycle everything in any way, need to take impacts into account.<br /> it's a collective and cooperative strategy. It's not enough that individuals do the best they can for the environment, we must work at every level.<br /> The basic idea of IE is that of an integrated model of economic activity. What we want to achieve is a mature industrial ecosystem. Need of course to understand how the ecosystem works: inputs and outputs of the economic system ("industrial metabolism"). You can apply this model to all product or service: how much energy and material is needed to send an e-mail, or to produce a shoe? Whatever enters the system needs to come out.</p> <p>Geneva has introduced industrial ecology in the cantonal law. He shows a graph summarizing the total metabolism of the whole Geneva economy (water, food, wood, plastics, etc going in, and waste/incineration, landfill, recycling and water treatment coming out - with thousands of tons of carbon expelled during the "digestion").</p> <p>The industrial metabolism of the knowledge-based economy is very electricity-intensive (in industrialized countries already 5-10% of energy consumptions goes to serve IT needs, and growing); and it's very materials intensive (metals, etc). So on one side infotech is needed for an efficient operation of the hyperindustrial economy; on the other end we should start taking care of the overall metabolism of the ICT system. An immaterial economy is different from a dematerialized economy. In order to delive "immaterial" goods we are using huge infrastructures and resources.</p> <p>He offers a roadmap for maturation of the industrial ecosystem:</p> <p>circularize the economy<br /> minimize the losses<br /> dematerialize the economy<br /> decarbonize the economy<br /> For example: when we talk about recycling, what we should really be talking about is cascading: the waste of one sector should/could be resource for another; and create new activities to valorize resources that so far have been wasted.</p> <p>Convergence is more than digital: it's about nano, biotech, IT and cognition sciences - and all of the above converging with autonomy (objects that have a capacity to self-repair, learn, and self-replicating). This will be big, and carries also serious risks. We need to interlink two dimensions: material dimension (resources) and the symbolic dimension (cultural).</p> <p>He ends on a positive notes: if you look at the industrial ecology system, there are a number of new activities and jobs for the future: designer and manager of eco-industrial networks; industrial metabolism analysts; regional dieteticians (in charge of studying metabolism of a region and balancing the "diet" of it); dematerializers and decarbonizers of products and services; nano-dissipators; etc.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0px;">(Session recap by Bruno Giussani) 392 2011-02-25T16:31:10+00:00 yes 1749 Science & Technology ecology english industrialism lift07 http://videos.liftconference.com/video/1254987/sugata-mitra-how-kids-teach http://videos.liftconference.com/v.swf?photo_id=1254987 http://videos.liftconference.com/889266/1254987/cd0650b9e6c1f14980ae41fee8d65cf7/video_medium/sugata-mitra-how-kids-teach-video.mp4 http://videos.liftconference.com/889266/1254987/cd0650b9e6c1f14980ae41fee8d65cf7/small Sugata Mitra "How kids teach themselves" Speaking at LIFT 2007, Sugata Mitra talks about his Hole in the Wall project.
