Brown-bag Lunch
Our brown-bag lunches fill a lunch break with brain food: During 90 minutes we give you food for thought on the subject of decentralization or provide you with the right tools to think creatively about the future of technology.
Thinking the Future
Thinking about the future is inevitably always speculative and reliable forecasts are therefore difficult to make. What methods are available to capture future developments nevertheless? And how can the results be taken into account today?
Blockchain and Artistic Practices
Artists often have a different, almost avant-gardist approach to changes in our society. Thus, early on, artists also dealt with the new decentralized technologies and their effects on society. How and why do artists use new technologies and what are the results?
Blockchain beyond the Hype
Blockchain, Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are on everyone's minds. But the potential of decentralized technology goes far beyond crypto currencies. Like digitalization, decentralization has the potential to fundamentally change our lives. But what exactly does decentralization mean and why should it concern you?
Future of Work
According to a recent Gallup study, two out of every three employees are doing their job according to instructions, and one in seven has already resigned internally. How can we use new forms of organisation and new technologies in the world of work?
Digital participation
Will more digitalization lead to more democracy? New communication technologies bring people closer across long geographical distances. Can we have a direct say in more areas in the future? If so, will this always lead to a better result?
Automated society
Artificially intelligent systems play an increasingly important role in our everyday lives. On the one hand, new technologies can make processes more efficient and
thus simplify many areas of life. On the other hand, decisions that affect all of us are increasingly being automated. Under what conditions can one trust autonomous entities such as self-propelled cars or robots?
