These days, our senses are bombarded with aggression. We are constantly confronted with global images of unending, escalating war and violence.

A world based on machine images is a world filled with boundaries. In a machine, every piece knows its place.

Everyone in a complex system has a slightly different interpretation. The more interpretations we gather, the easier it becomes to gain a sense of the whole.

Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care.

Innovation is fostered by information gathered from new connections; from insights gained by journeys into other disciplines or places; from active, collegial networks and fluid, open boundaries. Innovation arises from ongoing circles of exchange, where information is not just accumulated or stored, but created. Knowledge is generated anew from connections that weren't there before.
