WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK.

On bureaucracy, the office and labor.

During our monthly Homo Sapiens, I Hear You Research Seminar, we will explore the question: How is design considering the future of work and what needs to be addressed? Lead by Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun and a panel of experts, together we will explore the office as an environment for new organization and leadership and examine the influence designers have on the architecture of the office, the management systems we work in, government structures, bureaucracy and Kafka’s vision of utopia. Later, we’ll engage in Critical Management Studies (CMS) and Design Thinking as a framework for our discussion.

We'll open with a presentation by Beatrice Galilee, the Associate Curator of Architecture and Design in Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at Metropolitan Museum. We'll follow with a panel discussion and workshop with the Associate director of IdeasCity at the New Museum, Vere van Gool, New School Associate Professor of Global Studies & Geography, Laura Y Liu, and founder of Gotham Organizers, Lisa Zaslow.

Past speakers have included Douglas Trumbull, Special Effects Director, Professor Graciela Chichilinsky, Mathematical Economist, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, Biodesigner, Dr. Nancy Kiang, N.A.S.A. Scientist, Paolo Antonelli, MoMA Curator, Paul Sahre, Graphic Designer, Novmichi Tosa, founder of Maywa Denki.
