Landscapes of the Future: An Innovator’s Vision of Beauty for a More Harmonized World
Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde has a clear vision: beauty as a starting point for a better, more balanced world. Roosegaarde will take us on a trip to his ‘Landscapes of the Future’, highlighting his innovative practice which merges people, technology, and space to create a future-proof planet. Virtual floods, smog sucking towers, and his more recent project SPARK, which illuminates the sky with organic fireworks; Roosegaarde pulls technology out of the screens to explore the social role of design in our world and activate solutions to improve life in urban environments. As an innovative thought leader, Roosegaarde shows the importance of “Schoonheid” (a Dutch word meaning both beauty and cleanliness) as our new value, along with his vision for a planet in greater harmony.
