The document discusses the need for change in modern life, emphasizing that despite being wealthier, many feel unfulfilled due to consumption and the automation of jobs. It advocates for a shift from left-brain thinking to creativity and innovation, urging individuals to reconnect with their inner selves and embrace art as a means to facilitate transformation. The 'Moodlab' is presented as a resource to help individuals reduce stress and find inspiration through engaging with art and nature.

1. WHAT?!
Picasso
WASN’T an artist?!

2. welcome to the moodlab

3. Today I’d like to talk to you about:
change

4. and what art has got to do with that…
…change

5.  (yep.. made by Picasso)
but before we can look
at change
let’s assess
where we’re at now
how do we ‘do’ life?

6. Let’s have a look at
the perfect metaphor for modern life:

7. Times Square
in
New York
from the photo series: “Times Squared”

8. every day
we are bombarded with images of
‘how life could be’
a.k.a. you’re not ‘there’… yet?

9. consumismerism…
buying more & more
STUFF
more stuff : more stress

10. the work cycle:
work harder

earn more

spend more
for… more stuff?
more happiness?

11. we’re richer than ever before
we’ve got it all…

13. HAPPY?
we are living in world of abundace, with an attitude of lack…

14. EXPONENTIAL GROWTH
technology
world population
It’s all on a scale unpresedented in human history

15. consequences:
All that can be automated or outsourced… will be automated & outsourced
ROUTINE is deadly

16. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOUR LIFE?

17. forget about going on as is…
for one: it’s unsustainable…

18. you will need different skills for your future
so you will have to:
change
re-invent
YOU
re-assess

19. push the reset button

20. how to do that?

21. by making a shift from the left to the right brain

22. ehm?

23. Left = replacable Right =
Offshoring what makes you
Outsourcing unique and ‘you’
Automation www.icanhasinternets.com
: irreplacable!

24. WE NEED TO
CHANGE
&
GET OUT OF
OUR MINDS

25. Sir Ken Robinson : writer of “Out of our Minds”
CREATIVITY! INNOVATION! IMAGINATION
WHY?
Flexibility of mind;
easier to adapt to change
Economically / culturally / personally
www.stateofcreativity.com

26. change
=
fear

27. Let me show an example of….
what happens
to lots of people

28. we focus on thinking, facts, rationality; the left brain side of things…

29. All this thinking,
being ruled by fear
pulls us out of ourselves
we become
phantoms
empty shells
lost the steer of our own lives
inner world ≠ outer world

30. but:
It’s ‘5 to 12’
meaning:
if you want to cange,
now would be
a good the time
to do it!

31. make the transit

32. how to get back in touch with what you really want?

33. get creative
engage with your senses imagination intuition creativity

34. re-assess
who you are
what do you want in life.
