1. Change

2. Moving into spaces of uncertainty is challenging
(our brains are hard wired to avoid it) but it is also
necessary for discovering and constructing new
knowledge and understanding.

4. “The past went that-a-way. When faced with
a totally new situation, we tend always to
attach ourselves to the objects, to the flavor
of the most recent past.”
“We look at the present through a rear view
mirror. We march backwards into the
future.” Marshall McLuhan.
Legend goes that in 1895 the pioneers of
film camera technology, the Lumière
brothers - declared cinema is an invention
with no future. They where looking at their
creation through the lens of the most recent
past seeing cinema as theatre in 2d.

Our capacity to
understand many
digital media
technologies has
been exceed by
the rapid rate of
change.
Marrying the
camera with a
microprocessor and
the internet pegs it
to Moore's law

8. How to navigate change
Compass over map
Moving into spaces of uncertainty is challenging (our brains are hard wired to avoid it) but necessary for discovering
and constructing new knowledge. Existential view of identity - essence follows existence - reality is co-created and
constantly changing (people & Tech).
Set of values in action
what values are we going to navigate with? Creativity, play…
“I have a rendezvous beyond my beloved horizon”

9. Creativity as a process for change
What happens if we view creativity as a process?
Maslow hierarchy of needs
“Passion is the bridge that takes
you from pain to change.” Frida Kahlo

10. - Leon C. Megginson’s interpretation of Charles Darwin
It is not the most intellectual or the strongest
of species that survives; but the species that
survives is the one that is able to adapt to
and adjust best to the changing environment
in which it finds itself.
Do you anyone very experienced with navigating change?
