UPCOMING EVENT – NANO SUPERMARKET
We are preparing a new call for products and tour for our lustrous NANO Supermarket, featuring speculative nano products that may hit the shelves within the next 10 years.
What is Next Nature?
With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.
What are Next Nature events?
The events we organize are best described as ‘intellectual spectacles’. We usually invite artists, scientists, designers, filmmakers and thinkers to present their powerful imagery, radical ideas and visionary statements on how we can design, build and live in Next Nature.
So far we have been in cities like Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Essen, Eindhoven, Utrecht, Rotterdam. There is also a Next Nature DVD with a compilation from our events in Paradiso Amsterdam (NL), Zeche Zollverein (DE) and the Million Dollar Theater in Los Angeles (USA)
Hire a speaker
Besides organizing events we also give lectures at conferences, universities and festivals for both professional as well as general audiences. We usually dispatch our editor in chief Dr Koert van Mensvoort MFA MSc, who is a renowned and passionate speaker on Next Nature.
Among of the places we have been so far are: Microwave Festival in Hong Kong, Lift Conference in Geneva, Design Academy in Eindhoven, Museum of Image and Sound in Sao Paulo, UCSD San Diego, Picnic Amsterdam, Design Museum Lausanne, Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Royal Academy of Art in Den Haag, Discovery Science Festival in Amsterdam, Masters of Media Technology in Leiden, Ministerie van Turen in Drachten, iFactory in Maastricht, STRP Festival Eindhoven, University of Xiamen, Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles.
Feel free to contact us for lecture inquiries. Please include information on the preferred date, your organization, type of event (venue, audience).
