The art of awareness
What makes the DEEP LOOK film so special? It is not a film, it is a reflection about the art of observation. The art of awareness is the essence of life. Why would the universe exist if no one would be able to contemplate it? The entire purpose of any existence is that someone can enjoy watching it. DEEP LOOK observes people. Watch this trailer
Veysi, trying to look cool 😉
The film was made by Veysi, a turkish immigrant who grew up in The Hague, observing how society transformed from a mere Dutch white community into a multicultural colorful caleidoscope of people. Veysi was born deaf. This did not hinder him to finish his study cumlaude and dedicate 7 years of his life to make DEEP LOOK as a musical visual of people who crossed his path. Veysi presents his view in slow motion, allowing us to grasp emotions in great detail while making us reflect about the high speed pace in which we live our lives, missing the beauty of detail as we go.
For those of you who live too far from Eindhoven to come and enjoy this art form we share this visual song from Veysi
The film will be shown 4 saturdays in a row in Eindhoven in NatLab (May 6, 13, 20, 27). The 10€ fee is to cover the expense of renting the theatre for the show.
Memorandum of Understanding to combat the effects of radiation
Today I signed in the name of the STIR Foundation (City of Tomorrow) a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian SYENERGY ENVIRONICS Ltd to work together on reducing the effects of the tremendous amount of radiation that has accumulated around us through all kinds of electronic and communication devices. This interview of physicist Barry Trower, published on YouTube is worrying enough. We tend to look positively at our progress and firmly believe that education and awareness within sustainocratic cooperations is the best way to eliminate the lethally manipulative powers that affect us today.
In STIR we committed to core natural human values. Not only governance is held accountable for this, our entire societal commitment to life and wellness is. Such accountability is proving to be the driving force behind a whole stream of new entrepreneurial activities with a perspective of economic development and social engagement for many decades to come.
In the region of Eindhoven we look for a few show cases in which we can demonstrate the positive effects of dealing with raditions in a progressive and responsible way. The effects show in our health, productivity and even our genetic herritage.
Smart city and future mobility
The 24 hours non stop HEX Hackathon on April 1st in Eindhoven was a brilliant setting of about 100 creative young minds.
About 20 teams were established and 6 challenges were presented, 2 of which were proposed by AiREAS (air quality, health and city dynamics) and the AiREAS partner TNO: Smart Cities have healthy air and Future Mobility if we ban the car from the city.
11 out of 20 teams choose to work on these two challenges. They were asked not only to be creative, societal relevance and impact was also key. They were already provided with three possible lines of thought: human persuasion to change behavior (leave that car and take some alternative transport means), think of alternative means that do not impact so negatively as cars in cities, or propose redesign of the city’s infrastructure.
Practical results:
- Team Delft: A game to make people aware of air quality and stimulate them to walk or go by bike.
- Cool kids can’t die: Awareness on air quality for kids
- NOObs: Future mobility using LoRa
- Belgians: Lifestyle app
- Heks Hacks: People receive an energy lable for their travel choices
- D3SH: Car Surf, a new way of dynamic carpooling
- R-aware: ???
- Autopool: Event based car pooling
- Eco Score: Competition between municipalities on “best Eco Score”
- Amelioration: ???
- Gone Good: the habit of doing good
- The challenge Crackers: define instant challenges
All teams have been invited to the School of Talents to further develop their creative ideas and introduce it into society using the network of the City of Tomorrow and AiREAS with the Sustainocratic coaching skills of the School of Talents.
