Oracle of Amsterdam –
a peep in a “making-of” of the conference



Ideas and visions on a creative presentation of Specially Unknown’s topics and outcomes, on the real-time co-creation at the workshops, and on the collective creation at the Closing Plenary – the snapshot of a design, so far.

You are looking at the most sensitive stage of the creative process: when the dreams and fantasies are being translated into a feasible and achievable planning. Our dreams are to have:
