My guest today is an award-winning filmmaker, research designer, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute based in Sweden. Her work asks the question “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” An international lecturer, researcher and creative she is the founder of Warm Data and the Warm Data Lab bringing together a team of international thinkers, scientists and artists to innovate a form of inquiry, which Nora coined “Transcontextual Research” Based on the question: “How we can create a context in which to study the contexts?” From her first book Small Arcs of Larger Circles she has developed a very personal approach to the study of systems and complexity to explore a process she observes as “sym-mathesy” – how living entities evolve when interacting with each other in a shared context of learning. Her work brings the fields of biology, cognition, art, anthropology, psychology, and information technology together into a study of the patterns in ecology of living systems. She says: “Great stories, great music, great art, great love, great ideas – have tension, incongruity, paradox. This era of change, breakdown, breakthrough is going to require a form of play that allows for epist-emological confusion as old ways of perception twist into new presuppositions.” Find the episode homepage with notes at: https://unseethefuture.com/the-posts/utf-the-hopeychattybits-nora-bateson/
