Everyone talks about augmented reality, but it might be worth checking out Sophie Toulouse in particular her animated black&white drawings. Things reduced to their essence. Simplicity, frugality, elegance to resist ‘infobesity’.

A new way of driving R&D (presentation in Terre TV) – located near le Louvre and Palais Royal. Boundaries are blurred (e.g. the exhibit between Ryoji Ikeda (VJ) and Benedicte Gross (Mathematician); not to mention the food lab with Thierry Marx). >>
What else to add to the Black September. Living in a bubble in no option. Frugality will become the next ‘must-not have’…
An important signal: 3rd quarter earnings reported by BoA in Oct. 2008 were good with one notable exception – a significant increase in delinquent credit card payments. Another ‘chateau de cartes’ about to collapse…
A recent warning on Bloomberg:
Give Mr. Quattrone credit for raising an important issue related to Wall Street’s Research, and making an articulate case for change. As always the solution is complex and has not yet been identified.

We just finished an assignment in Ireland for a Far-east Government looking at developing its agenda for an information society.
We had to be in Ireland in June 2008, during one of the worst moments of its recent economic growth:
Within this challenging environment, we had the opportunity to discover some of the drivers of the Irish success and will constitute – no doubt about this- those of its resilience. We met with The Department of the Taoiseach (Prime Minister’s Dept.), were hosted by Enterprise Ireland, in particular the manager of Software, Services and Emerging Sectors. We had a very insightful briefing with Science Foundation Ireland on its role in ICT research, along with a working lunch with IDA Ireland and its activity in ICT sector. We completed our day with a visit to Forfás (National Policy and Advisory Board for Enterprise, Trade, Science, Technology and Innovation).
The hallmark was the discovery of the Digital Hub Project, supported by the Government, aiming at creating an international Center of Excellence for knowledge, innovation and creativity, with a clear focus on digital content and technology enterprises. All this is as well very much ‘brick-and-mortar’. The hub offers a physical, inspiring and full of history, working environment, in the former Guinness factories, with flexible, Georgian-style office spaces from 10 to 1000 square meters, which have been fully refurbished and redesigned for the needs of digital and innovative media companies.
We were so impressed by the ‘can-do’ attitude, the sheer optimism and pragmatic solidarity among all stakeholders. It seems to us that Ireland is up to the challenge of competing with other developed countries, no longer leveraging tax-benefits or labor costs, but as a peer. Check out the following site for further details (www.thedigitalhub.com).
