DESCRIPTION:
The INNOVATION
FORUM is an issue-based interactive forum and multimedia exhibit that encourages dialogue on innovation
and technology. Through soft whispering, it solicits interaction and real-time video recording.Visitors can listen to short interactively accessed video clips from a diverse, "virtual" panel of distinguished thinkers discussing a wide range of issues concerning innovation and technology, how these affect our lives, new explorations and ethical implications. Then in the virtual "visitors forum", an inspired museum visitor is encouraged to respond to these issues by recording their personal comments on innovations and technology, and listening to the comments of other museum visitors. These visitors' comments become part of the continually evolving INNOVATION
FORUM Exhibit.
To encourage
visitor interaction, the INNOVATION FORUM provides discourse and
dialog by varied 'professionals' talking on a wide range of issues
concerning innovations and technology, primarily technological innovations
that have affected our lives, our work and our global cultures and
society.
The educational content of this
exhibit is diversified, provocative, informative and inspirational
to encourage museum visitors to dialogue and comment on issues of innovation
and technology.
The Innovation
Forum Exhibit includes interviews from a diverse group of professionals
in many fields: Scientists, Doctors, Urban Planners, Community
Activists, Cosmologist, Futurists, Ethicists, and others. The interviewees
discuss new innovations and explorations, cloning, patenting of
life forms, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, intelligent computers,
cyborgs, cryonics, global access to technologies, cyberspace as community, the future of
our planet, and ethics related to these issues and more.
