Course overview
Historically technology-driven innovation has largely shaped our development as humans and society. The invention of making fire, the wheel, agriculture and industry has brought us much to be grateful for: we have become wealthier, older and healthier. The most recent technological revolution, the information society, also coined as Society 5.0, added far reaching digitisation with promises of more equality, freedom, democracy and wealth.
But in addition to the great progress that all technological revolutions have brought, the undesired and often unforeseen consequences also become increasingly clear and urgent. It is time to change the dynamic and instead start with asking ourselves the question what we want a sustainable society that centres around the human scale and public values, should look like, and how smart, digital technology could help us build it.
The course is based on a two-day festival, organised by Centre of Expertise for Creative Innovation: Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam University of the Arts, Inholland University of Applied Sciences, and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Production was done by Digital Society School.
