Genius Steals

Thanks to Neil Perkin / Only Dead Fish, I gave a talk last week at Google UK for a firestarter event.

It was really fun. 

The brief was to be provocative on the topic of Designing For The Future. 

As I pointed out at the beginning, I'm not a designer. The other two speakers were and were excellent and thought provoking. 

And I'm not from the future – but I do visit it quite a lot. So to speak, or, indeed, so to the talk. 

The framing of which – mental time travel – was the foundation for a talk about the internet of things, and sensors, and ideas, featuring bosons, Dr Who, Monkey Island, the IP enabled Fridge [cast as a kind of depressed genius with no useful functions], disjointed brand experiences, privacy and panopticon media, and various other things.  

Another cracking #Firestarters Great to see @faris synapses firing off all at once, like an inspirational brain firework it was! #future

I'm developing it into a larger piece, with choreography and music [possibly], for other performances.

Shout if you are interterested in having me come and chat to you, at your place or thing.
