Echos of Humana
Well, with Humana2.0 slowly receding into history, I thought I’d capture some reflections. Firstly, it was great to meet so many Voxtropolitans in person, and to see again some who I had met at Origins ‘06.
Kudos to Alex, and the IMN team for putting together an inspiring, informative program. Dean and the TO crew made the venue come alive (almost literally). Urban Poets and Jettison Never, you ROCK, separately AND together! Great to finally meet you DA.
Most exciting for me was that, unlike Origins ‘06, this time my wife could attend. There has been a hole in our shared experience that was significantly filled last week. Also, we had a number of our local gathering in Central Florida who were able to take advantage of the opportunity to attend.
A few critical thoughts that have been echoing around in my head (there’s a surprising amount of room up there these days):
from Alex:
How do we project ourselves (and our message) into the world ahead? The concept of altering the trajectory of life was a recurring theme.
It’s not what we can explain (even with eloquence), but rather we should be asking ourselves, “what have we done that needs explaining?”
Innovation is always de-synchronized with the perceived present.
from Gerardo:
Many of us are “afraid to wander, as Abraham was sent to wander.”
from David:
We create art, because art is a matter of life and death to our friends.
from Alex:
We were not born on a neutral planet.
from Thorston:
We are supposed to be God’s “wisdon challenge” to the world.
from Erwin:
Live life as “one elegant stroke” rather than struggling to balance unrelated segments of life.
All in all, a greatly though-provoking and impactful conference.
Here’s a few captured memories from the “afterparty” (the World Music Jam).
