Virtual Reality and 360° technology empower journalists to teleport viewers to places where they would never go themselves. It´s this telepresence that makes the difference. Now users are part of the story: Storytelling becomes story-living. But how can VR stories from conflict zones really create an impact? How do they change the reception and level of understanding of how hatred and injustice are effecting our world? What should VR journalists take care of and what should they avoid doing?

From comfort … to danger zone: How to create impact with VR stories - Christiane Wittenbecher

In his talk interaction designer and digital artist Andreas Refsgaard describes how machine learning has become an integrated part of the practise. By enabling people to decide upon and train their own unique controls for a system, the creative power shifts from the designer of the system to the person interacting with it. Using machine learning to make unconventional connections between inputs and outputs Andreas has made projects where games are controlled by making silly sounds, music is composed by drawing instruments on paper and algorithms are trained to decide what is funny, funky or boring.

Popular music provides the ultimate gauge of contemporary attitudes about culture, politics and society at large. It’s the language we use to subconsciously discuss and deliberate the issues of the day. Whether it’s about the rise and fall of disco, the role of boy bands or contagion of K-Pop, there is no greater measure of social sentiment than popular music. It creates an understanding of a society’s collective attitude. And with that, one could say that the music industry has the answers to some pretty compelling cultural questions.

The language of Pop Music: what popular music can teach us about society at large - Alain Sylvain & Zach Pentel

No matter what, “we can fix it”, Mark Zuckerberg and other tech pioneers, some of them downright fanatical, are certain. But solving all problems by technology is impossible. And that’s a good thing. Freedom, for example, is based on a completely different way of thinking and more on dramatic than technoid production processes. What would we have to expect if, in the future, however, a technocracy was to replace democracy? Let’s talk politics and technology. This episode was recorded live at the NEXT Conference 2018

Out of love for democracy – contexts and systematics of the politics of digitization - Wolf Dieter Enkelmann

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly making decisions that directly affect users and society, many questions raise across social, economic, political, technological, legal, ethical and philosophical issues. Can machines make moral decisions? Should artificial systems ever be treated as ethical entities? What are the legal and ethical consequences of human enhancement technologies, or cyber-genetic technologies? How should moral, societal and legal values be part of the design process?
