Brainstorming Session #1 - Video

Written by: John-Paul

Here is the video from our first brainstorming session. The audio has been put through Whisper Ai which has done a reasonable job of translating considering the sound quality. The transcription is here: Transcription

It is hard watching yourself and realising how much waffle you talk! I came into this discussion with a reasonable idea of what the project is and how it will look. After this session I was a lot less sure and after listening to the recording a few more times, even less so. There are some great ideas here and increasingly I'm thinking the space could be more of a virtual space, Marcus suggests the space needs to be extraordinary and transformational. There was talk of mutidimensions, of space travel, time travel, travelling in the mind, being a portal and of being inside a whale.

Some further post video notes from Martin: 

  • make links during the year with the maramataka calendar.
  • The container is a single biological cell of the earth connecting and interacting with the whole.
  • Making notes of all the things we (nz, world) are already doing/have done towards sustainability gives a balance to the negatives.
