Podcast appearances and mentions of monika bielskyte

Am Ende eines turbulenten Jahres wagt Host Lukas Schöne den Blick nach vorn: In der letzten Folge 2024 von This is Media NOW geht es um sieben konstruktive Impulse, die die Medienwelt inspirieren und verändern könnten. Dabei schöpft Lukas aus den wertvollen Einsichten der Medientage München und präsentiert Ideen von Expert:innen wie Anna Rosling Rönnlund von Gapminder, die den Blick für die positiven Entwicklungen in der Welt schärft, oder Nina Graf von der We.Publish Foundation, die beispielhaft erklärt, wie lokale Medienangebote nachhaltig gestärkt werden können. Monika Bielskyte entwirft eine positive Zukunftsvision und Evan Shapiro zeigt auf, was es bedeutet, den User wirklich ins Zentrum allen Medienhandelns zu stellen. Außerdem geht es um die goldene Zielgruppe der über 50-Jährigen, Werbestandards für den digitalen Videomarkt und die Macht von Humor in schwierigen Zeiten.

This episode of The New Abnormal podcast features the renowned futurist and speculative designer, Monika Bielskyte. She's also the founder of Protopia Futures, a life-centric design and collaborative foresight platform that centres previously marginalised perspectives. The project's mission is to inspire a new wave of future visions showcasing how a transcultural and interdisciplinary approach, alongside disability and neurodivergence inclusion, can foster regenerative economies for the decades to come and chart an actionable path towards a positively interdependent and compassionate future world.Her work is firmly anchored in contextual, complex realities on the ground, rather than one-size-fits-all techno-solutionism, prone to short-term hype cycles and rapid obsolescence. As a speculative designer, Monika prototypes culturally expansive, socially and environmentally engaged future world designs that take lessons from visually and narratively captivating Science Fiction entertainment and apply them to make real-world future literacy more compelling. She's a deeply interesting individual, so I found it fascinating listening to her viewpoints and hope you do too! 

“Instead of judging others, what if we actually get curious about them? Specifically with neurodivergence, embracing who we truly are can help us feel well within our minds and bodies. We can learn so much about different ways of being and what it takes to think beyond just our own way of seeing, hearing, feeling, and touching.” — Monika Bielskyte In this episode, Monika Bielskyte shares her unique perspectives on designing for a more livable future and the importance of disability and neurodivergence inclusion within innovation processes. Looking beyond GenAI, Monika and Simon discuss the transformative power of creativity, empathy, and immersive technologies in shaping our future, along with the feedback loop between human values and the tech we design. Monika is a visionary futurist, speculative designer, founder of @protopiafutures, and partner at @africanlifecentricdesign. Through Protopia Futures Framework, Monika emphasizes the importance of the leadership of the most impacted in all innovation processes, with major focus on disability and neurodivergence inclusion. She is recognized for her innovative approach to shaping inclusive, culturally, socially and geopolitically informed future visions that challenge the determinism and escapism of both dystopian and utopian narratives.  Her work explores the the SciFi impact on the very real future-making and the feedback loop between human values & the tech we design—offering profound insights into how we can craft pathways towards equitable and inspiring futures, based on the principles of life-centric design.  Monika has been at the forefront of spatial computing & immersive media technology for over a decade, while consistently advocating for empathetic and socially responsible design.  Her consulting clients include BBC, DreamWorks, Google, Nike, Meta, Microsoft, Huawei, Mckinsey, WEF, and her work in Hollywood includes futurist consultancy for Disney / Marvel's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.  She has lectured in the Royal College of Arts, CERN, Royal Society, Indian Institute Of Technology and the California College Of Arts, to name but a few.  — Follow Monika: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/monikabielskyte/ X – https://x.com/monikabielskyte LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/monikabielskyte/ — Follow Protopia Futures: Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/protopiafutures/ X – https://x.com/protopiafutures/ — Read more about the Protopia Futures Framework: https://medium.com/protopia-futures/protopia-futures-framework-f3c2a5d09a1e — Connect with me: https://zaap.bio/simonclowes

Better what, I hear you ask? You're in for a treat as I introduce you to futurist and futures designer Monika Bielskyte.

Recorded on-stage at Øredev 2023 just after her keynote, Fredrik chats to Monika Bielskyte about finding, building, and approaching better visions for the future. We discuss things such as: Disabilities for innovation and better design More inclusion in design for people on edges improves the world for precisely everyone Why does a concept like protopia feel so new? Why have we been stuck thinking about dystopias and exclusive utopias for so long? Informed hope. Everything has a context, and the context matters! No huge solution for everything Design with, not for We all create the future all the time. Propaganda and disinformation wants to overwhelm, to disengage. But we can all counteract this and improve the world by doing good things in our daily lives. Put more good information into the systems - and remember to make it cool as well! We never arrive at a perfect future, it's the steps we take and what we make here and now that builds it. All or nothing is the old utopia-dystopia thing again - the zero-sum game. Dystopian storytelling is way too easy. Thank you Cloudnet for sponsoring our VPS! Comments, questions or tips?

In what kind of future would you like to live? Blade Runner or Black Panther?For too long, our futures have been determined by immature science fiction imaginaries still stuck in the mid to late 20th century. Their utopian and dystopian binaries now provide fertile inspiration for police-state-aesthetic VC pitch decks and a cluster of ideologies known as TESCREAL: Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, and Longtermism. Moreover, many of these past narratives have not recognised the richness and diversity of knowledge, experiences and worldviews. "Those who control the fantasy, control the future."Monika Bielskyte identifies the cost of such grand visions, whose utopianism has historically had its roots in exclusionary and eugenic principles. For a more positive and productive way of seeing the future, Monika's vision of Protopia is radically hopeful and inclusive. Protopia is grounded in plurality, interdependence, embodiment, biosphere regeneration, creative flourishment, spiritual fulfillment, and evolved values. By including the voices of those that have been purposefully previously erased, Protopia changes the nature of leadership and creates the possibility for interesting things to happen. Monika ends on a hopeful note:  “Different worlds have existed, and they could exist again”

Justine Solomons-Moat, DEFRA, discusses utopias, dystopias and protopias with Monika Bielskyte, a futurist and futures designer. Monika consults on and prototypes culturally expansive, socially and environmentally engaged future world designs for the media, industry and technology companies. She also explores the relationship between science fiction narratives and unfolding global futures. Most recently, Monika has been working on Protopia Futures, a platform for collaborative research and creations challenging and offering alternatives to dystopian or utopian stereotypes. Protopia Futures explore visions of radically hopeful and inclusive futures centring Queerness, Indigeneity, Disability & previously marginalized cultural perspectives. With thanks to Justine for hosting and all her hard work behind the scenes at CSCEN.

Nach über 4 Monaten Pause sind wir wieder zurück und widmen uns dem Thema Zukunftsforschung. Wir spannen dabei den Bogen vom ‚Futurama’ der 1939er New York World’s Fair bis zu aktuellen Thesen bezüglich ‚Protopia’ von Monika Bielskyte. Passend dazu reisen wir in der Love/Hate Rubrik mit der zweiten Staffel von ‚For All Mankind’ in eine alternative Vergangenheit.

3D-Festival BEYOND 2016 | Symposium Panel discussion with Monika Bielskyte, Diego Gonzales, Francisco Menendez, Thomas Metzinger & Cyril Tuschi Lecture/Talk 28.09.2016 to 02.10.2016 ZKM_Media Theater The festival’s theme of »Future Design Thinking« is mainly reflected in the symposium. As a result, it fits into the series of symposiums of past events, which established the main title »Future Design« and pursued the aim of exhibiting and developing perspectives for the future together. The addition of »Future Design Thinking« now introduces the aspect of thinking, which facilitates an idea of the future, free from restrictions, physical or social parameters. Experts from various specialist fields are eagerly awaited, who will think ahead to the future together. /// Vortrag/Gespräch 28.09.2016 bis 02.10.2016 ZKM_Medientheater Das Festivalthema »Future Design Thinking« spiegelt sich hauptsächlich im Symposium wider. Damit fügt es sich in die Reihe der Symposien vergangener Veranstaltungen ein, welche den Leittitel »Future Design« etablierten und das Ziel verfolgten, gemeinsam Zukunftsperspektiven aufzuzeigen und weiterzuentwickeln. Der Zusatz des »Future Design Thinking« bringt nun den Aspekt des Denkens ein, welcher eine Idee der Zukunft, frei von Restriktionen, physikalischen oder gesellschaftlichen Parametern, ermöglicht. Mit Spannung werden Koryphäen diverser Fachbereiche erwartet, die gemeinsam die Zukunft weiterdenken.

Marika Anthony Shaw is commonly known as a member of the super music group, Arcade Fire. A classically trained violinist raised by a linguistics pioneer, Marika grew up watching her mom revitalize dying languages in remote areas of the world. Later, while touring the world herself with Arcade Fire, Marika had an epiphany. If bands added $1 to the price of their ticket sales, the lump sum could be donated to a charity of the group's choice. Thus, www.Plus1.org was born. Now in it's second year, Plus1 has turned Marika into a full time business woman, changing the world one dollar at a time. On Innovation Crush, Marika discusses her transition from band mate to CEO, the hurdles and triumphs she's faced along the way, thought leadership, the art of persuasion, and an obvious passion for change. Feat guest host, Monika Bielskyte, founder of All Future Everything.
