Brain box a bit dusty? It’s time to colour in that grey matter and tune into signals from the future as Vivid Ideas presents a palette of stimulating talks over 23 days of the festival. In this series, leading scientists and researchers chart the megatrends and micro-forces shaping society, technology and innovations across wellness and health-tech, space exploration and future cities. All in a bid to make tomorrow brighter.
Live at Vivid for the first time is a podcast of Ockham’s Razor by the ABC Science team featuring five brilliant young scientists telling cutting-edge stories of their work. Future of Sex researcher and podcast creator Bryony Cole charts the frontiers of sextech and scientists.
CSIRO tackle the big questions on The New Frontier and discuss what space
exploration will look like in 20 years’ time. Plus join CSIRO’s Data61
innovation group for a fast-paced, research-led and entertaining treatise on ‘The future of the world’ exploring some
of the biggest factors transforming how we live including artificial
intelligence, blockchain, climate change, the rise of Asian economies,
demographic ageing, health and wellbeing, resource scarcity, energy storage and
changing human experiences.
CNET will deep dive into the way AI is
impacting the lives of every day consumers in a keynote on The AI Revolution. Staying in
the tech world, CSIRO will discuss smart homes to empower older people, look at
digital trends for all generations, and explore how we can use technology to
improve our health and our world. Researchers
will delve into a Materialising
Memories research program ponder memory, love and how objects can help us
harness the power of our memory and affect the way be are ‘Remembering Relationships’. We also look at the question ‘More Technology, More Stress?’ and
provide you with tools to help you better manage your use of technology and
improve your resilience to technology-induced stress.
Finally, join the conversation with the British Council
director as she discussed how to better connect people and seeks out answers on
how city leaders and city-dwellers can work together more effectively to create
physical and digital spaces that are inspired and global.
