Hello Peter, glad to join the conversation (once again). Many thanks to engage with the crowd despite your packed schedule.

We have just started a science art prize to encourage scientists in the nano- and bio-tech field (as this is strong here in Dresden) in order to give scientists a way to express their research findings in new, and disruptive ways while working together with an artist on a project.

My question: what advice do you have to accelerate the process of engagement of scientists & artists to bring innovations to the public (through a new vehicle: art)?

Thanks a lot, and best regards Ralf

Yes, indeed the current beliefs are embodied in the business practices, and management behavior we see today.

Courage and persistence, making a "dent" into the course of time one by one eventually leads to the big change.

However being the one making the first move can make oneself feel like a looser. Change takes time, as trees need time to grow.

Great point on the "invisible" Otto. One can sense such quality when attending a concert, especially over time in the same location such as an opera house. Some performances roar, and with them the audience, some do so as well, but the audience doesn't react in similar ways.

How to grasp such subtle changes of "quality in the room" is really quite a challenge in our world, where we mostly measure tangible things by measurements that are known.

Interesting to see into the world of neuroscience, and quantum mechanics where things tend not to be visible in the common sense (yet).

What was the conference you were part of lately? Would great to learn more about it.

Thanks a lot Peter. It is sort of a "mini" XPRIZE, deadline for first project sketch Nov 30, and then four months from there on to complete work. http://www.dzwk.org/en/kuwi/index.html Please give my regards to Marissa

Thanks a lot Adam - greetings to Cambridge, Ralf
