What tickles me and gets me going.

Pecha Kucha #14: Special Care Edition

Als vanouds op een spannende plek. Ditmaal in de duurste ruimte van het ziekenhuis… en die zou wel eens wat verrassingen kunnen opleveren. Je wordt onder begeleiding naar de plaats van handeling vervoerd, dus wees op tijd: als je te laat bent kun je niet meer naar binnen!

Zoals je ondertussen gewend bent van de Groninger Pecha Kucha’s, vindt ook deze editie plaats op in een zeer bijzondere locatie: de kelder van het UMCG.

Special Edition

De operatiekamer van de toekomst, hoe ziet die eruit? Het UMCG in Groningen onderzoekt het. In een grote manifestatie met ontwerpers, architecten en zorgprofessionals. Speciaal voor die gelegenheid: een Pecha Kucha Special Edition: Pecha Kucha Care.

Kom langs op deze thema-editie over de operatiekamer. Professionals uit de operatiekamer delen hun onvoorstelbare verhalen.

An invitation from Incubate Pirate Conference

I registered and decided to pay €25 for the privilege to attend. They fail to mention that the Incubate Pirate Conference will also feature a Flat Fee Coffee Mug. Awesome.

Dear,

On September 17, Incubate, http://incubate.org,  will host the Incubate Pirate Conference ( http://www.incubate.org/2010/event/4 ). This is a day on Piracy in the Arts in Midi Theater, Tilburg. We’d very much like to bring this event to your attention because you might be interested in visiting.

We don’t have a guest list for this event, though. Tickets for the conference are Pay What You Want: http://incubate-innovation.org/tickets . For us, this in an experiment in trying new participative pricing models. The audience can determine the value of the conference for themselves. The only guests on this day are the people actually taking part in the program of the conference.

The Pirate Conference offers reflection on the comprehensive piracy-program of Incubate Festival and on the value of creation in society. What do artists think about the current state of issues? How can they best react to the current operation of copyright? What strategies, tactics and interventions can be used?

Matt Mason, recently voted Pirate of the Year by BusinessWeek, will give a keynote speech at the Pirate Conference. Mason is the author of bestseller The Pirate’s Dilemma. In his book, Mason gives an overview about different subcultures that have brought on the most innovative ideas in history that later have become worldwide industries.

Job de Wit will interview Hank Shocklee from American producers team The Bomb Squad on sampling and (the future of) copyright. Shocklee is known for his pioneering work with hip-hop acts such as Public Enemy, Ice Cube and Run D.M.C.

Visual artist Rob Scholte will give a lecture on the meaning of piracy within his work and in visual arts in general. Scholte’s works are controversial because he often uses existing images.

Performance artist and choreographer Xavier Le Roy invites Mårten Spångberg (dance critic and choreographer) for a discussion on recycling / re-interpretation and re-enactment of performance art. During the Generation Bass Forum leading artists in non-Western contemporary dance will exchange views on blogs, sharing music and the traditional record industry.

If you’d like to visit the Pirate Conference, please get a ticket at http://incubate-innovation.org/tickets. Of course, the price is completely up to you!

Hope to see you there!

30 Ideas, it’s just too much. For me, at least.

So, here I am. I guess I have to own up to not completely following through on an inspiring idea. Remember when I announced to take part in Andrew Wicklanders 30 Day First Follower project? Well, I only got as far as reviewing Andrew Dubbers second idea before being drawn into a whirlwind of activities for De Ondernemers and New Music Labs. Alas, priorities took over…

I just emailed Andrew Wicklander a sort of apology for falling of the grid, and thought I would share my thoughts here as well. Because it helped me (again) in getting more insight in how my minds works. Perhaps you might find these ‘revelations’ interesting:

  • 30 Ideas is a lot. Especially if they’re pretty decent or even very good ideas. Just processing them, considering their impact, appeal etc. was more time- and attention consuming than I thought.
  • The end result: I did not even get round to considering all ideas, so I would not know if there is one that truly excites me 🙁
  • There is only so much I can do to help. I will not commit to learning how to code, for instance, like Andrew Wicklander did when he selected the idea of the Numberless Calendar to execute. (well done!, Real impressive decision, perhaps even more important than the First Follower idea), but just blogging or whipping out a WordPress-site only goes so far… This made me hesitant in responding as well.
  • I was a lot more busy with projects for my companies than I expected, which is extremely good news (since my priority is making those companies work), but also reduced my involvement in the project.

So, the initial enthusiasm not withstanding, I failed in this project. As in: I did not contribute to the actual realization of the selected idea. I kind of set the rules for that myself, when I worte:

  • First off: I feel lucky to spend most of my time on stuff that I already am excited about doing. So it really needs to tickle me in certain places first to get me going at all;
  • Secondly: I need to feel I can contribute. So it needs to match one or more of my capabilites I feel good about.
  • Third: I need to believe in the idea enough to set aside a sufficiently big piece of my mind and time to execute

This experience has added to this initial set of checks. It has added the notion that:

  1. Being excited and inspired only gets you started;
  2. Unless you really get ‘hooked’ on an idea, it will just hover in your neighborhood;
  3. To commit to an idea, you need to invest. Best way: utilize the idea to learn yourself a new trick, like programming.
