John Higgs made sense of why one of the biggest bands in the 90s deleted their entire catalogue at the height of their fame, with his book The KLF: Chaos, Magic and the Band Who Burned a Million Pounds. This time John has taken on the entire 20th Century, and will be taking us on a totally lateral jaunt through a millennia looking for what was truly new, unexpected and radical, and what we can learn about those innovators to change our own reality tunnels.
Nathalie Nahai is THE web psychologist, and is determined we should harness persuasive technology to make the most of ourselves away from the screen. She’ll be on the Salon stage to help us understand how innovation in technology is being used against us, and how we can demand it behaves in a way more suitable to our needs, you know, as humans. ‘After all’, she explains ‘technology is a tool, and if you want to create something good with it, you must first understand how to use it, so it doesn’t use you.’
Talking of doing good we will welcome on to stage Mark Shayler who believes it’s not enough to do things better but we must do better things. Mark wrote the book on Disruption – ‘Do Disrupt’, and is one of the founding partners of The Do Lectures. He believes we should all disrupt our own lives and will explain how we can apply innovative approaches from big business to our own lives in his DIY disruption session.
And in this way we will bring to a close our incredible Motivate. Create. Innovate series.
