The Oppenheimer
Moment
When we deliver new ’Technology’ it is getting evil
it is often a distributed system problem, so the
solution has to be also distributed.
Be a good citizen first and
think of the money second
count on the power of
agency of individuals

12. Kenya Hara’s work across
design, exhibitions, talks and
books, goes beyond western
simplicity to explore emptiness
as a space of possibilities to be
filled. This approach can be
found in both his work with
MUJI and with the Hara Design
Institute.
Make things unknown
Emptyness
Ex-formation
as opposite
of information

14. In contrast to ‘information,’ ‘ex-formation’
describes how little we really know and
thus becomes the starting point for any
type of design.

16. my personal view on the Interaction 18
Think about next generations – Ancestry thinking:
• Be a good citizen first and think about the profit second
• Think though potential options how the technology can
be misused and turn to evil
• Remember that every voice counts to make a big
change, everybody can contribute: power of agency
• Consider human values right from the start of the
education
Remember the past:
• Study past in all its facets to design new
• let it inspire you and learn from failures
• Remember who you are: your background makes you
unique
Emptiness – give space for imagination
and room for new
• Sometimes you have to forget to be able to create new
Establish inclusive continuously evolving culture:
• Start with optimistic thinking
• Be kind, respectful and curious
• Have backbone to disagree and commit
• Design to increase communication and collaboration
in organizations
• Be coach: help to find a path to success through
dialogue and open questions
Invite and celebrate future now
• Anticipate human needs, help to focus by eliminating
needless choices and be mindful of privacy
• Deal with ethical questions (before dealing with AI)
• Imagine different futures to invite everybody to be
involved in the critical shaping of our collective future.
