On Life in the Infosphere (Jacob Burda, Luciano Floridi, P.Weibel, P.Sloterdijk, J.Jarvis) | DLD16

Prior to the panel discussion between Peter Sloterdijk and Peter Weibel, Luciano Floridi will give a keynote speech. Floridi will discuss the rise of the infosphere and how it is transforming our economies. He will also look at these questions from an ethical perspective. Sloterdijk will propose an explanation of the digital infosphere using three distinct spheres outlined in his books. Weibel, coming from the arts and sciences, highlights the novelty of transforming data into things, made possible only by the digital revolution. This panel discussion seeks to shed light on the yet little understood spheres of digital transformation and life in the infosphere. If we want to truly be in control of the changes we are observing right now, a thorough understanding of the underlying processes becomes imperative.
