Jam – Visual Thinking In Holland

ole — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:16:51 +0000

Last year we met the JAM guys in Berlin (Vizthink Europe), and then later on in Amsterdam at their VizThink NL (they are now on their 5th event). They remind os of a party-rock-paint-band. As a crew they enter the stage and your jaws will drop. They know how to engage people and make fantastic visuals to support their work. Furthermore they have amazing Mr. Pippet. They are among the best in the field.

They host a great blog (click on below image) and together with GRIDD and Zicht they are frontrunners in the Visual Field in Europe.

Did You Know These Numbers?

Xplane and the Economist is just out with this new “Did You Know” video on You Tube. They have made it in connection to the upcoming Media Conversion Forum in New York.

Watch the video and see the numbers. I like the numbers. I like the message. And I keep wondering: If this is all happening to the hardware and software around us, how does this effect our behaviour and our ways of being together? If these are all technologial upgrades happening…what about our “social software” upgrades? What does this development mean for education? For adult learning? For the way we meet each other face to face? For having great conversation? For figuring out how to solve complex challenges? What do we need to be aware of? Who will invest in these social software upgrades? How? What (& who) risks being left out/behind? And what new possibilities are out there? And will be coming to a city near you soon? What a journey!
