After our adventures in deep-interactivity in 2015, we are bringing back the all-time favorite Main Stage Sessions to the center of the conference. On top of the talks, you will continue to enjoy more interactive formats such as workshops and masterclasses, with the addition of a new activity: Lift on Site. Leveraging the great landmarks of Geneva, we are collaborating with key partners such as CERN to create workshops directly where the action happens. Via Jacques Urbanska

La révolution numérique en cours aura selon Michel Serres des effets au moins aussi considérables qu’en leur temps l’invention de l’écriture puis celle de l’imprimerie. Les notions de temps et d’espace en sont totalement transformées. Les façons d’accéder à la connaissance profondément modifiées. A cet égard, chaque grande rupture dans l’histoire de l’humanité conduit à priver l’homme de facultés ("l’homme perd") mais chaque révolution lui en apporte de nouvelles ("l’homme gagne"). A la part de mémoire et de capacité mentale de traitement de l’information qu’il perd avec la diffusion généralisée des technologies numériques, l’homme gagne une possibilité nouvelle de mise en relation (d’individus, de groupes et de réseaux, de savoirs) mais aussi une faculté décuplée d’invention et de création. C’est probablement de ce côté-là que se trouvent les réponses aux enjeux contemporains de l’humanité.Michel Serres a souligné que l’écart entre les pratiques nouvelles nées de la diffusion généralisée, dès le plus jeune âge, du numérique et celles des organisations instituées à une époque où l’humanité vivait autrement, est devenu considérable. L’entrée dans cette nouvelle ère de l’humanité interpelle la sphère académique. L’École et l’Université doivent engager leur métamorphose.Michel Serres, de l'Académie française, a prononcé cette conférence inaugurale le 29 janvier 2013 pour le lancement officiel du Programme Paris Nouveaux Mondes, l'Initiative d'excellence du Pôle de recherche et d'enseignement supérieur "hautes études, Sorbonne, arts et métiers"(Pres héSam).

Want to create an egalitarian utopia? A rigid hierarchical hellscape? (Or an egalitarian hellscape and hierarchical utopia, depending on your politics?) You might just need to stimulate or suppress two crucial parts of the human brain.

In this spirited, accessible poetics of new media, Rushkoff picks up where Marshall McLuhan left off, helping readers come to recognize programming as the new literacy of the digital age––and as a template through which to see beyond social conventions and power structures that have vexed us for centuries. This is a friendly little book with a big and actionable message. Via Ken Morrison

This talk draws on the latest global modeling research to construct a sweeping thought experiment on what our world will be like in 2050. The World in 2050 combines the lessons of geography and history with state-of-the-art model projections and analytical data-everything from climate dynamics and resource stocks to age distributions and economic growth projections. Laurence C. Smith takes as big forces demographics, natural resources, globalization and climate change. - slowing but still very fast growth rate. developed world: dropping aging: esp. china - urbanization: demand for electricity, metals,... (esp. growing word) -> relying on globalized companies <-> forgetting basic skills - 1893: phyiscs of climate change prooven -> real problem -> greatest uncertainty in prediction -> long time to see the results / difference between actions -> multiplied in north regions ("greenland-potatoes", polar->grizzly) -> greenland cruiseship tourism <-> permafrost, ice roads melting - oil and gas in the arctic (est. 13%oil, 30%gas prv. undisc.) -> conflicts about territory <-> UNCLOS article 76, geol. diplomacy -> Russias oil / gas importance <-> unconventional sources -> Canada - current trend of globalization continuing (north countries =/ Russia)

A new way to produce is emerging. By this I mean: a new way to produce anything and everything, whether it is software, food, or cities. What once required rigid organisations and a society defined by the mentality of hierarchies, we are discovering now (and in many cases re-discovering) how to do through free association of peers.
