Christoph Weckerle, Director ZCCE

Moonshot #1 – The Neurobiology of Empathy and Compassion

7 September 2022, 13.00 - 14.00
Keynote: Tania Singer, Social Neuroscientist and Psychologist and Scientific Head of the Social Neuroscience Lab of the Max Planck Society

The world is faced with global problems from climate change to poverty in the midst of plenty to an increasing mental health epidemics accelerated through the world-wide consequences of the Covid19 pandemic. To respond to these problems, we will need to activate different changes agents, from institutional changes, changes in law and environmental policies to inner changes elicited through mental trainings aiming at boosting human qualities such as empathy, compassion, resilience and prosocial motivation.

Did you know that through just a few minutes of daily mental training you can not only improve important social skills such as compassion and perspective taking coming along with changes in structural brain plasticity but also reduce stress and anxiety and boost mental health, resilience and prosocial behaviors?

Furthermore, specific types of mental intersubjective practices have been shown to bring people out of loneliness and reconnect them not only with themselves and others but also create a broader sense of social cohesion and shared humanity.

Fishbowl #1 – Smart Cities means Creative Cities

7 September 2022, 14.00 - 15.00
Moderation: Päivi Tahkokallio, Founder and CEO of Tahkokallio Design+
Panel Member: Jens Badura, Philosopher, Cultural Manager, Author and Consultant
Murielle Perritaz, Co-Director Cultural Affairs Department of the City of Zurich
Elahe Rajabiani, Designer at the EU Policy Lab

Are smart cities always also creative cities? How can creativity — and creative industries — add value to developing smart cities? There is a well recognised urgency to mitigate climate change but are we suppressing the urgency in the face of other current emergencies. The challenges we face are more systemic than ever, more linked and connected to each other.

The fishbowl will discuss how creative industries can help solve systemic challenges in cities, preparing participants to take part in the workshop to follow. 

Spillover Workshop #1 – Building Bridges in Cities & Regions with Cultural & Creative Industries

7 September 2022, 15.00 - 16.30
Room 5.K12

Moderation and Facilitation: Päivi Tahkokallio, Founder and CEO of Tahkokallio Design+
Workshop Members:
Dr. Christian Diemer, Composer, Musicologist and Head of Programme of House of Europe
Jessica Segerlund, Head of ArkDes Think Tank

Cities account for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. They are home for a vast majority of citizens in Europe. We put a demand on our cities to be smart and to fight against climate change to ensure that life in cities in the future constitutes a good life for all its citizens. Sustainable, beautiful and together, as the New European Bauhaus initiative states it.

But, is it enough for a city to be smart? Should a city also be wise? Would wisdom entail building bridges between fields of expertise? Would wisdom entail building bridges between cities, regions and remote villages? We all share the goal, a good life for citizens. How can Cultural & Creative Industries help develop wise cities, both from a systemic point of view but as much from an individual citizen’s point of view?

Spillover Workshop #2 – Space Technology – The Perfect Fit for the Fashion Industry

7 September 2022, 15.00 - 16.30
Room 5.K10

Moderation: Muchaneta Kapfunde, Founding Editor-in-Chief of FashNerd, Influencer
Facilitation: Fredrik Timour, Head of Fashion Innovation Center and Founder of Neue

Did you know that we wouldn’t have many technological advances in textiles if it weren’t for the space program?

Well, it has been said that if fashion and space had never come together, the spacesuits for the Apollo 11 space mission — the ones worn by the likes of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — may not have been designed by Playtex, a company famous for making bras and girdles.

The truth is that the giant leap made for mankind was also a giant leap for fashion. The workshop will look at various developments and will dive into how space research has paved the way for innovative high-tech fabrics used in fashion today.

Representing a new frontier, adventure, and endless possibilities, the workshop will help you envision what will happen tomorrow, next year, or next decade regarding future opportunities. We will also debate what the next wave could mean for the next fashion generation.

    Pascal Kaufmann, Neuroscientist-turned-entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Mindfire
    Marc Burkhalter, Co-founder and CEO of Scrambl

    A look into the future shows how artificial intelligence might impact how we work. The technology already exists: AI systems are shaping our lives and societies. What does AI mean for for the creative and artistic professions? Which skills and approaches are emerging? What role might arts universities play in these developments?

    All these questions will be discussed with

    – Pascal Kaufmann, a neuroscientist-turned-entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Mindfire, dedicated to creating human-like artificial intelligence to empower people

    – Hanja Blendin, Deputy Head from ZHdK’s Accreditation and Quality Development Office, whose cooperative project with ZCCE is using AI to investigate whether the skills profiles of ZHdK graduates are in demand in the creative industries and compatible with other sectors

    – Marc Burkhalter, Co-Founder & CEO of Scrambl, a startup leveraging human-centred AI to match talents with companies offering jobs best suited to their individual skills, personal values, lifestyle and preferred employment model (Scrambl is a ZCCE project partner)

    Room 5.K12

    Moderation & Facilitation: Shannon van Schaeck Mathon, Public Affairs Expert, Political and Policy Advisor
    Milos Labovic, Senior Public Affairs Expert, Political and Policy Advisor

    Your creative mind might wonder: lobbying, a creative skill? Yes! Lobbying – meaning influencing decisions – is a skill that requires creativity. The creative industry is not an exception. In fact, when done properly lobbying is an art! But, you’re not into politics? It doesn’t matter because lobbying is a useful skill regardless of your profession or occupation.

    During this workshop, you will learn about the current political developments affecting the creative industry, why you as a creative mind should lobby, and how art and culture can be positioned as lobbying tools. We will also give you some tips and tricks on how to design your own lobby and how you can organise your own political/policy tribe so that the world of politics doesn’t feel like a foreign arena.

    Spillover Workshop #4 – AI – Philosophy - Arts

    8 September 2022, 11.00 - 12.30
    Room 5.K10

    Moderation and Facilitation: Fabian Goppelsroeder, Professor of philosophy/aesthetics, comparatist and freelance writer
    Katrin Stowasser, Research Assistant and PhD candidate at FSP Aesthetics at DKV ZHdK
    Workshop member:
    Birgitte Kofod Olsen, Human Rights Lawyer and holds a Ph.D. in Privacy and Biometrics, Partner and Co-Owner of the General Management Consulting Firm, Carve Consulting
    Gunter Loesel, Theater Scholar, Actor and Psychologist at the Institute of Performing Arts and Film, ZHdK

    The comprehensive technologization of all areas of life in our time raises philosophical-fundamental and quite pragmatic questions. How should we behave towards a reality that is increasingly organized by algorithms and artificial intelligence? Where are the limits of the human? What exactly is the mode of existence of technical objects, how is it currently changing, and what consequences does this have for our relationship to them?

    The French philosopher Gilbert Simondon posed this question long before smartphones and wearables, deep tech and internet 2.0 in the 1950s: Why do we grant rights to aesthetic objects, works of art, that we deny to technical objects? Don't we finally have to give them the space they seem to demand through their growing presence in our everyday life? 70 years after Simondon, at a time when robots such as the humanoid 'Sophia' developed by the Hong Kong company Hanson Robotics are granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia, this question has gained even more relevance and urgency. The technology, which increasingly appears as an self-governed actor, is becoming a supposedly autonomous counterpart; with philosophically and legally far-reaching consequences.

    In the workshop, these will be discussed speculatively, aesthetically-practically and formally-legally. The different perspectives will be brought together in a pointed position paper.
