Monthly Talk - Georgina Voss

Step behind the scenes and get a glimpse of the thinking motivating the digital world’s greatest artists, thinkers and doers. Writer, researcher and current Lighthouse resident Georgina Voss is this month's speaker. In this talk, Georgina stepped behind the shiny front-end of consumer products and technology to explore the stories from the supply chains and the infrastructure that underpins them. Looking at the assumptions we make about manufacturing and design – from the materials we use to the people that produce our products – Georgina asked why we end up with the technology that we do? What do we ask for, and what do we really get? What are the everyday roles – such as factory workers and suppliers – that aren’t visible, and how does that change the way we think about supply chains? How can stigma make some of these jobs deviant and others acceptable, when they’re all part of the same system? This talk also looked to the future and the ways in which supply chains might collapse or radically change under conditions of climate change, and whether new forms of localised manufacturing and grassroots innovation could rise up to fill the gap. http://www.lighthouse.org.uk/programm...
