Designing the next digital revolution. At the crossroads of science, technology and art
While the internet of things is in the midst of deploying an algorithmic approach to organizing industry, work and society 4.0, avant-gardists from a variety of disciplines have started to design a sustainable and meaningful human vision of digital modernity. The panel will discuss how values and the principles of the commons serve as a basis for renewing both the eco-social market economy and European integration and why digitisation will be the driving force for this change.
