Zachary Lieberman is an artist, researcher, and educator with a simple goal : he wants you surprised. In his work, he creates performances and installations that take human gesture as input and amplify them in different ways : making drawings come to life, imagining what the voice might look like if we could see it, transforming people&#8217;s silhouettes into music.
He&#8217;s been listed as one of Fast Company&#8217;s Most Creative People and his projects have won the Golden Nica from Ars Electronica, Interactive Design of the Year from Design Museum London as well as listed in Time Magazine&#8217;s Best Inventions of the Year. He creates artwork through writing software and is a co-creator of openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding and helped co-found and teaches at the School for Poetic Computation, a school examining the lyrical possibilities of code. He’s also a professor at MIT’s Media Lab, where he runs the Future Sketches group.

When he was turning 40, Zach decided to start a practice of daily sketching — making small artworks with code that he posts on social media as a way of saying hello to the world. This way of working openly has radically reshaped the way he thinks about making. In this talk, Zach will explore how small things can become big things, and what he has learned by reshaping his practice.

In this talk we will delve into the challenges and expectations faced by experience design teams during periods of uncertainty. We will explore the impact of various factors such as data quality, conflicting internal stakeholder priorities, cuts in timelines and budgets, optimization without innovation, and the need for faster ROI reporting. By addressing these challenges head-on, we will equip design professionals with practical strategies to set up their teams for success.

Embracing Change : Designing Experiences in Times of Uncertainty

Daito Manabe is an artist, interaction designer, programmer and DJ, launched Rhizomatiks in 2006 and specially-appointed professor at Keio University SFC.
Manabe’s works, which range into a variety of fields, takes a new approach to everyday materials and phenomena. However, his end goal is not simply rich, high-definition realism by recognizing and recombining these familiar elemental building blocks. Rather, his practice is informed by careful observation to discover and elucidate the essential potentialities inherent to the human body, data, programming, computers, and other phenomena, thus probing the interrelationships and boundaries delineating the analog and digital, real and virtual.
A prolific collaborator, he has worked closely with a diverse roster of artists, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Björk, OK Go, Nosaj Thing, Squarepusher, Andrea Battistoni, Mansai Nomura, Perfume and sakanaction. Further engagements include groundbreaking partnerships with the Jodrell Bank Center for Astrophysics in Manchester, and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.
He is the recipient of numerous awards for his multidisciplinary contributions to advertising, design, and art. Notable recognitions include the Ars Electronica Distinction Award, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity Titanium Grand Prix, D&amp;AD Black Pencil, and the Japan Media Arts Festival Grand Prize.
