You may remember, if you were there, the talk given by Richard Sandford, from FutureLab.
One of the slides had this written upon it:
‘Preferable Futures – Ideas of the future are no use unless they
support action in the present. To do this they need to include values
and ideals.’
There, in a nutshell is the core of geekyoto 2009. Three days in March.
Your input is welcome.
This evening at the National Theatre, London, Demos and TED collaborated to help grant the TEDPrize wish of photographer James Nachtwey.
He wanted to brake a story globally, the story of extremely drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB).

It was cold out there on the southbank, and the photographs are powerful. There is a project now, to see if a story can be broken and communicated across the globe via both traditional and new media. It will be interesting to see if in this image saturated online world a story can still be told by the carefully constructed work of a photojournalist.
