SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT
DESCRIPTION:30 years of the Web: where do we go next?\nBuilding radical new alternatives for a more democratic future internet\nJoin us on Friday 22 March at the European Parliament for an exciting afternoon of talks and bold ideas about the future of the internet: how can we build an internet and connected world that is more democratic\, inclusive and resilient for all? \nDuring this event\, we will also launch a compilation of radical new visions for the internet\, by both leading and emerging thinkers and artists from Europe and beyond. This event is organised by the NGI Move\, EU Engineroom and recently launched NGI Forward projects. \nThis March marks the thirtieth anniversary of the World Wide Web. As we reflect on its history\, we must also take the opportunity to think about what we want the future of the web\, the internet and everyday life in a connected world\, to look like. The internet has undoubtedly brought us a lot of good over the past decades\, but its astronomical impact has not always led to the betterment of society. Power over our data is concentrated in the hands of very few players and new technologies are creating cracks in our democracies. We find ourselves stuck between two dominant models: the monopolistic corporate-led internet of Silicon Valley and large-scale government surveillance systems of Beijing. \nCan we now come up with a third narrative\, where citizens and communities are in control and can determine their own future?\nThe Next Generation Internet initiative\, the European Commission’s ambitious new flagship programme which seeks to build an internet that’s more inclusive\, resilient and democratic by the end of the decade\, offers and opportunity for Europe to take charge of shaping such a new narrative. This event is part of a longer series part of the NGI in which we think about the kind of future internet we would like to see. \nRegistration will open at 12:45 with the event starting promptly at 13:30. The session will finish at 16:30. \nConfirmed speakers:\n\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder\, IoT Council\nKatja Bego\, Senior researcher\, Nesta\, Coordinator NGI Forward and EU Engineroom\nMarietje Schaake\, Member of European Parliament (D66/ALDE) Foreign Affairs Trade and Tech\nOlivier Bringer\, Head of Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\nGer Baron\, Chief Technology Officer\, City of Amsterdam\nJulie Dawson\, Head of Regulation and Policy\, Yoti\nManon den Dunnen\, Trust Frameworks\, Police Innovation and Sensemakers\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making\, Big Lottery Fund\nSophie Bloemen\, Co-Director\, Commons Network\nDelfina van Ditmar Fantini\, Tutor/Research Design Products Programme\, Royal College of Arts\, London\nFabrizio Sestini\, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation\, European Commission DG Connect\nPeter Baeck\, Head\, Centre for Collective Intelligence Design\, Nesta\nMarta Arniani\, Founder\, Futurible\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n12:45PM – 13:30PM\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n1:30PM – 1:45PM\n\nWelcome\n\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder\, IoT Council\nKatja Bego\, Senior researcher\, Nesta\, Coordinator NGI Forward and EU Engineroom\n\n\n\n\n1:45PM – 2:15PM\n\nIntroductory talk\n\nMarietje Schaake\, Member of European Parliament (D66/ALDE) Foreign Affairs Trade and Tech\n\n\n\n\n2:15PM – 2:30PM\n\nThe Next Generation Internet Initiative: what is it and why is it vital for Europe\n\nOlivier Bringer\, Head of Unit\, DG Connect\, European Commission\n\n\n\n\n2:30PM – 3:15PM\n\nBuilding blocks for a better future internet\n\nKatja Bego\, Senior Researcher\, Nesta | Session chair\nGer Baron\, Chief Technology Officer\, City of Amsterdam\nJulie Dawson\, Head of Regulation and Policy\, Yoti\nManon den Dunnen\, Trust Frameworks from Police Innovation and Sensemakers\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making at the Big Lottery Fund\n\n\n\n\n\n3:15PM – 3:30PM | Coffee break\n\n\n\n3:30PM – 3:40PM\n\nA Vision for a Shared Digital Europe\n\n\n\n3:40PM – 4:20PM\n\nHarnessing collective intelligence: how do we involve people in shaping the future internet\n\nMarta Arniani\, Founder\, Futurible | Session chair\nCassie Robinson\, Head of Digital Grant Making at the Big Lottery Fund\nSophie Bloemen\, Co-Director and Director\, Commons Network\nDelfina van Ditmar Fantini\, Tutor/Research Design Products Programme\, Royal College of Arts\, London\nPeter Baeck\, Head of the Centre for Collective Intelligence Design\nFabrizio Sestini\, Senior Expert for Digital Social Innovation\, European Commission DG CONNECT\n\n\n\n\n4:20PM – 4:30PM\n\nEvent close and book launch\n\nMarta Arniani\, Founder of Futuribile\nRob van Kranenburg\, Founder at IoT Council

SUMMARY:NGI SALON @ KINNERNET
DESCRIPTION:A device of one’s own\nThis NGI Salon\, titled “A device of one’s own” aims firstly at raising the awareness of participants around their digital personas and their own relationship with their mobile devices. Secondly\, the reflection will serve as basis to elaborate alternative meaningful scenarios for the human-mobile device interaction. \nFOCUS OF THIS EVENT\nThe Salon “A device of one’s own” will take place at KINNERNET\, a wild-out-of the box\, irreverent\, disruptor event looking for innovation\, creativity and new ideas. On this third edition in Catalonia\, the event will feature over 120 innovators and creators from all disciplines (science\, technology\, business\, media\, education\, art and social work) and from all around the world (US\, Europe\, Israel and Asia). The mission is “to meet\, share and invent desirable future together”. \nThis annual networking event for innovative professionals provides the opportunity to gather informally and discuss topics of mutual interest. Kinnernet mixes in depth conversations\, debates\, workshops\, but also creative and artistics moments. All participants are equal and contributors and set up the programme. \n  \n \n  \nREVIEW NGI Salon: A device of one’s own\nOn June 2 KINNERNET Catalonia – a wild-out-of the box\, irreverent\, disruptor event looking for innovation\, creativity and new ideas – hosted a Salon titled “A device of one’s own”. The event\, part of NGI Move series of Salons\, was conceived and moderated by Marta Arniani (futuribile/curating futures). Get in touch at marta(at)futuribile.org if you would like to host a similar event. \nWe have an extremely intimate relationship with our own digital devices. Protected by their claimed neutral nature of objects\, they know things about us that we do not dare or bother sharing with our human peers. Meanwhile\, every single act we do through digital devices contributes to draw a partial picture of our identity. Enough to assign us a character designed through an accumulation of data\, a fictional persona composed by a sum of decontextualized elements. Through our unbalanced dialogue with devices\, we contribute to the building of extremely addictive\, clustered\, partial and numbing technology-mediated experiences. But what if we could shape the way our data and digital behaviour are employed so that they can generate meaningfulness for us? \nBy means of guided self-reflection and ideation exercises\, the Salon aimed at raising the awareness of participants around their digital personas and the meaningfulness of their digitalised behaviours. Through simple facilitation exercises attendees have been called to express quantifiable and qualitative aspects of their identity. When asked which of these elements was more important in defining their identity\, there was consensus around the irrelevance of goods possession and need\, which is instead a key component in digital targeting and profiling. \nThe scope of this first part of the salon was to led participants to realise to which extent quantification gives a distorted and limited vision of who we and our behaviours and beliefs. Technology works mainly through information accumulation. If data are the new oil\, then data providers (people) should be able to have a say about how their private data are invested. Participants have been asked to think of how to renegotiate their relationship with their mobile device\, and to come up with ways to make their experience less tailored and more meaningful for them. \n  \n \n  \nMost of the proposals focused on health and time/focus management. A participant working in health suggested that through biometrics mobile devices could understand when somebody is depressed and help her navigate out of that zone through suggestions and assistance. Whereas today devices work as a distraction\, they should support people’s focus: providing regular summaries of how long/how many times the person has been fully focused and on what; switching off automatically after a certain amount of hours of usage; assisting in scheduling the best moments to unplug or to focus on a specific task and providing supportive features (e.g. selecting music); analysing when the person is close to breakout and supporting the streamlining of her agenda. As it is structured today\, our relationship with mobile devices is utterly overwhelming and automation is mostly focused on aspects with little added value for people. \nIt was proposed to have more agency in deciding to which projects/initiatives contribute to with one’s personal data. With the conscience that the current data-extractive business models are not going to disappear from one day to another\, an evolution is sought: while the data automatically collected keep providing value to the corporations beyond the device and the apps\, can’t these data also be invested by the person in data-based endeavours that she considers valuable? For instance\, local open data projects\, health services and research\, circular economy\, information sources that the reader enjoys over others. Moreover\, a sort of programmed obsolescence for data profiling was suggested: if a profile must be retained\, then it should be temporary and contingent to the person actual status. Identities are more fluid then the way technology depicts them. \nFinally\, another strong point raised concerned the reinforcement of human feedback and interaction. Many expressed the need to protect their domestic environment and make it a space for meaningful human interactions. Due to the expressive limitation of text – which in the experience of participants mostly replaced verbal exchanges\, more interactive/multidimensional means to increase the quality of conversation are sought. Interestingly\, technology intensifies negative/aggressive/hate debates but fails at amplifying good and meaningful conversations. Measuring/sensing the emotional response and feedback of the communication receiver\, or switching off when the person is having a face to face conversation so that it could focus on who is in front\, were among the possible features suggested. Automatised tours outside one’s filter bubble were proposed. \n“Take care of me like I take care of you: charge me\, update me\, protect me” – Main takeaways\n• It was strongly stated that devices must help people live better (accordingly to their own standards) and increase their IQ\, surely not replace people’s agency by automatically acting on behalf of their (artificially presumed) will. \n• Citizens should be able to intentionally invest their personal data in initiatives they care about. The return on investment is a positive impact on the world or on their everyday life. \n• There should be a programmed obsolescence for personal data. \n• The reinforcement of positive (enriching\, proactive and respectful) human feedback and interaction is very needed. \n
