Will the Future Design Us? Man is limited in observations, what happens in a world when these can be manipulated? Do we need an update in perceptions, do we need exoskeletons and other digital plugins? Are digital observation systems more absolute? In a society with Nervous Systems, our behaviour is predicted and affected. How do we regain control on our devices and systems? Will the Future Design Us or can We Design the Future?
Manifestations will take place Oct 22-30 during the Dutch Design Week, more info: 2016.manifestations.nl

Mental Institute for Robots? by Young Talent Award nominee: Erik van der Veen:
Can robots have a mental disorders?
We treat electronic devices as our slaves. Devices which have more and more complex sensors and start resembling us. The moment machines get a conscious mind, will forever change the way we treat them.
Are we still capable to understand the experiences and thoughts of machines? Can a laptop feel our fingers on her trackpad? Do Furbies develop anxiety of abandonment? Are our modems traumatised by after-images of our Bing-YouTube-sessions? Do vacuum cleaners develop bacteriophobia? What does the internet dream of?
