Hack Your Mind

 

About

What drives one’s mind to go that extra mile, to think out-of-the-box, to engage in innovative pursuits. How do we collaborate intellectually, artistically or from a perspective of design, technology and culture? Sharing in the search for the edge, the next relevant thing or activity. There are many individual or collective avenues to constructively cross personal, interdisciplinary or technological borders. You will be exposed to some unique ones at the TEDxHamburgSalon.

Following TEDxHamburgSalon, the project presentation and award ceremony of 'Coding da Vinci Nord' will take place from 4:30-8:00 pm and you are invited to participate. Background of the project is the digital database of artifacts, such as paintings, book printing, photos, art objects as well as sound and video recordings which are hidden away in the archives of our museums, galleries and libraries. The 'Kultur-Hackathon Coding da Vinci Nord' brings this data into the light and makes them ascertainable. The aim is to create new formats, installations, apps, and websites to communicate and interpret the facts and information gathered from the archives of our culture within the relevance of our time.

  • Louise Overgaard
    Louise Overgaard

    Louise’s starting point is humans. They are the core of her work. Humans play, humans create, humans innovate. Humans create knowledge. Societies are built and evolve around humans. Libraries are meaningless without humans. Technology is only interesting if humans know what to do with it. When she works her focus is people’s motivation, skills and lifeworld. This focus comes from having a co-creative, user-driven, partnerdriven approach to her work combined with a background in religious sociology, psychology and organisational anthropology.

    Louise is a Culture, City and Service Innovator! Smart City and Library Geek! CounterPlayer! Coding Pirate! She navigates between cultural activists, grass roots, political and strategical city arenas and in European strategical settings and believes strongly in working across silos the open source way.

    Mirko has always been passionate about building community and creating opportunities to bring together people, ideas and emerging technologies for the greater good. In his last 15 years at Cisco Systems he has built an ecosystem to achieve this, through various leadership positions across Engineering, Sales, and more. It was only natural for him to step up when he saw numerous challenges at a local refugee camp, which he knew technology could solve.

    Together with Harald Neidhardt of MLOVE, Mirko initiated the Refugee First Response Center (www.rfrc.eu) – and in six weeks, they transformed a shipping container into a medical first aid center with live video stream translation services in 50+ languages with 750+ interpreters. The RFRC initiative continues to grow, with Harald & Mirko at the forefront bringing together the right people at the right time in order to make amazing happen.
