By PIPPIN | Published: JUNE 24, 2010 The sociocultural and economic context in which the Emergence Collective operates will need some “backwards-attention” in order to smoothly emerge. Often the question of earning ones living is dwarfed by thoughts of positive innovation and peace on earth. World economics may collapse intirely in some years, or capitalism [...]
By PIPPIN | Published: JUNE 23, 2010 Since the dawn of man the gap between life in the head and life in the world has gone increasingly out of sync. Back in the day our brains were humble servants to basic human needs, giving us the skill just to survive long enough to mate. That [...]
By JAY | Published: JUNE 23, 2010 Firstly, this is not the opinion of everybody, although it might be. But hopefully everybody else can begin to quantify what they see as Emergence and what is their context of interest. This is an important part of the parallel process we are undertaking here. Our collective self [...]
By JAY | Published: JUNE 23, 2010 Below is a previous post from my blog which I include here because I believe it is an important factor in Enabling Emergent Cultures and Technology, I will attempt to quantify what I mean by this in my next post. Parallel process does not seek consensus and therefore [...]
By JAY | Published: JUNE 23, 2010 In February we participated in a modest event at Betahaus sponsored by jovoto who kindly provided a budget of 500 Euros for some food and material costs. The event fostered a community, and a documentary, as well as numerous products and experimentation, which generated hype, which in turn [...]
By GABRIEL | Published: JUNE 23, 2010 Delivered in Beta from KS12 on Vimeo. I experiment with various forms of collaborative storytelling, from Postcards from Berlin to Delivered in Beta (see above). I have been testing various means for restructuring the digital video production process for the last several years, often blurring the boundary between [...]
By GABRIEL | Published: JUNE 21, 2010 Last night Venessa and I were discussing our desire to style ourselves as superheros when we describe the essential qualities of each member of the collective. References to games, such as Magic the Gathering, figured prominently in our imagination. Yet there was a mutual feeling that more research [...]
The question is: is it any way to start a business? To plan things out in the open? No closed doors. No silos. Let’s try this; this fearless exhibition and exploration. Here’s what we know so far: We want to create a brand network entity with an impressive project-based portfolio. Our identity will be people-focused, [...]
After a thrilling first year that ended with a six week innovation camp in Berlin in oct/nov 2009, we took some time to reflect and document. We also started to discuss and plan our future activities. Within the Palomar5 coreteam there are different views on how things should be, so we decided to allow us [...]
P5 fellows Jay and Chris worked night and day, and now it´s done: The Open Design City @ betahaus in Berlin is opening its doors with a call for citizens (not consumers of services) to build and collaborate. The ODC will be a playground for design, making and experimentation, a room full of dynamic individuals creating [...]
We think it was a very special occasion and this is why we’d like to thank every single one of our guests – and especially the speakers openly sharing their misfortunes – for having our very own Christmas in May. This was truely magical.
Schmiede provides space, time, tools, a heterogeneous group of participants and projects. For ten days in September, the Saline in Hallein, Austria, becomes an open and free playground (2000sqm) for 140 creatives and artists from all around the world.
My education expedition continues to be a blast, but I haven’t been able to share that joy online as it happens. By now it’s been 34 days and 3,800 miles across the country, yet only one lousy blogpost. So I’m changing approach. Welcome to the first video dispatch from my journey. Provo, Utah — p5edu [...]
Happy Birthday was a mantra at our camp, a song that crossed national borders and regularly punctuated the airwaves, even when we didn’t have birthdays. As well as singing this glorious melody to Betahaus on Saturday 10th April, we will also be running a workshop. Building the vision of the Open Design City in cardboard, [...]
