Talk, Art, Science
Us and them? (Social) sciences and our everyday lives.
Science is telling us that we need to change our lives. How should we do that? Should we allow a ‘paternalism light’, in the sense of a evidenced based environmental and climate policy, to nudge us into self-imposed docility? Or should we, regardless of the consequences, fight for our individual freedom? Are there socio-technical experiments beyond these strong alternatives, how we can shape our existence, and which expand our understanding of democracy and/or society? (Talk in cooperation with Michael Braito).
Bernd Kräftner works as artist and researcher. As co-founder of “Shared Inc.” (Research Centre for Shared Incompetence), he is interested in messy interfaces between science and society. In various research projects he investigates socio-technical processes that change our everyday-life.
