Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal

I explain a little of my plans as chief curator for The Futures Agency:

Stowe Boyd via futuresagency:

The curators work is something like that of a poet, then. We all return to the same themes, and we build upon the thoughts of others, trying to bring some added value, helping others to gain some new insight, or finding distant analogies to underscore another’s thoughts.

So, I will be offering up a daily take on what I have seen stream by, with special attention to the areas of investigation that Gerd and I are most involved. Areas like the future of media and other crucial aspects of modern business, like sustainability.  And we will be looking into what I call post-futurism: facing the future, but with considerably less science fiction and boundless technological optimism.

I haven’t had time to explain the nature of the relationship with Gerd Leonhard, a sort of cooperative research fellowship focused on the future of media. A more detailed description is in the works.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.

I am made greater by the sum of my connections, and so are my connections.
