Announcing The Copenhagen Project

23 July 2007 5 Comments

I’m instigating and sponsoring The Copenhagen Project.

A couple of months ago i “met” a talented bloke Jeppe Kabell in a comment thread in the latest flamebait between mainstream media folks and edge-media folks about protecting old business models, free vs. paid, amateurs vs. professionals, paper vs. digital and objectivity vs. subjectivity. All discussions that in our opinion is taking us away from the essential issue “how do we as humans keep up to date with what’s happening in the world and make sense of it all” – in a world where our capability to deal with complex issues is urgently needed.
We’ve therefore started an open research project to look at interesting projects and experiments, research theory of sense making and the tools people use to stay up-to-date, interview interesting people, challenge core issues of complexity, objectivity and commitment and highlight possible tools, directions and improvements that would represent the media ecosystem of tomorrow.
The project runs until the end of 2007 and might turn into a nonprofit, a startup or who knows nothing – but everything will be done openly and shared.
I strongly encourage you to participate and follow the project – i think it’s the core issue we as societies and humanity are struggling with and need to find solutions for quickly if we want to leave a world worth living in to our kids.
