No 2, 2010 - THE END OF KNOWLEDGE - An instruction manual for the 21st century

"Knowledge is power" – an expression now consigned to history. At the zenith of the information age, we stand before the demise of knowledge as we know it. Its traditional components – facts and figures – are no longer sufficient for us to keep up in a highly complex, and ever more rapidly changing world.

Yet what capacities and abilities do we need to be successful in the 21st century? Is it the art of deliberate simplification, as author and media artist John Maeda suggests in the interview? How important are imagination, good ideas and a culture which allows us to make mistakes? ABSTRAKT N^o2 goes in search of answers.

With contributions from economics professor Richard Florida, sociologist Ueli Mäder, entrepreneur Ulf Lindgren and media artist John Maeda.
