Fireside Chats with Empathic Futures Lab
Arts:Design
This week, Chris and Christian discuss advertising and the media. They begin by trying to define a basis for what media is. They then contrast the human focused characteristics of media with that of more natural landscapes. Following this they question the incentive structures of media and how that might be augmented to introduce a system that is more "fair." From there they discuss a few different ideas about the physical space that media might exist in. Additionally, is it possible that if people are able to physical connect to their media outlets, do they find them to be more trustworthy and dependable?
