IMPAKT Festival 2020: Douglas Rushkoff in conversation with Julia Watson
<p>Douglas Rushkoff was named one of the “world’s ten most influential intellectuals” by MIT. His work explores what it means to be human in a world dominated by social media, algorithms and robots. For the <a href="https://impakt.nl/festival/2020">IMPAKT Festival</a> he talks to anthropologist, environmental activist and landscape designer Julia Watson about her new book <a href="https://www.juliawatson.com">LO-TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism</a>, which offers a new take on technology.</p> <p>Whereas high-tech digital technology alienates us from one another and from our environment, the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is all about a symbiotic relationship with nature. Indigenous communities are among the groups hardest hit by climate change; yet, their knowledge can teach us how to deal with extreme situations. We need as much diversity and innovation as possible in order to create a climate-proof living environment. What can we learn from this ancient knowledge? Which solutions can it provide us to survive the climate crisis? How do we create a space for natural systems in a world dominated by digital technology and capitalism?</p>

IMPAKT Festival 2020: Douglas Rushkoff in conversation with Sonia Shah
<p>Douglas Rushkoff was named one of the “world’s ten most influential intellectuals” by MIT. For the <a href="https//:impakt.nl/festival/2020/">IMPAKT Festival</a> he talks to investigative journalist Sonia Shah. They present us with a provocative statement: migration is a natural phenomenon. As such, it is only natural that people move away from places affected by the climate crisis. Why is migration still such a contested topic? </p> <p>In this <a href="https://impakt.nl/festival/2020/conversation/douglas-rushkoff-in-conversation-with-sonia-shah">online conversation</a> Rushkoff and Shah will talk about the climate crisis, the migration of people, animals and plants. Where does our idea of a permanent habitat come from? Can we shift the political debate that is demonizing migration, and focus on the benefits instead? We are living together on a planet on the move; animals and other organisms are moving en masse to the poles or high altitudes, and some people are already being pushed away from their countries by war, floods, rising sea-levels and expanding deserts.</p> <p>In her most recent book <a href="https://soniashah.com/thenextgreatmigration/">The Next Great Migration: The Beauty and Terror of Life on the Move</a>, Shah proposes to see migration as a solution, rather than a problem. Rushkoff and Shah will also discuss Pandemic, Shah’s book from 2016 about the history of viral infections. In this book she makes a connection between the way we treat our planet (through the burning of fossil fuels, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, intensive agriculture, wildlife trade and more) and the spread of infectious diseases.</p>
