Speaker Name: Daniel Rossi, Visual Maker
Name of the Topic/Talk: Designing for Health in a Connected World
Speaker Website: pantopicon.be
Topic Description: Exploring the dark matter of ‘well-being’ begins with the understanding that there are many parallel realities that exist and occupy space in tandem to one’s own. This talk will explore how creating immersive and tangible experiences can shift people’s perspectives by creating an ‘overview effect’, shedding light on the ‘dark matter’ that binds us together. This result can render people more collaborative, actionable, and empathic when exploring and engaging in the conversation of ‘well-being’.
