Smart Phones, Healthcare Robots, Wearable Computers and Self Driving Cars. They are arriving or already exists. We are becoming increasingly intimate with the machines that constantly count, control and watch the way we live. How can the growing world population of more than 7 billion people create a humane life for everyone? Let's find the errors and the holes in the technosphere that will give us space for free and creative thinking. What's at stake here is the remains of human agency. Let's use the brain pixels that are not taken yet. And Save the Humans!

This well-known family game is useful for training the power of memory and very popular with children (because beating them is not always easy). Should it seem a bit silly, you should try Visual Power Memory instead. The photographs on the playing cards are picture montages sampled from images imprinted on our visual memory as icons of the mass culture in which we live. Each card selects a subject from the encyclopaedic image bank that we carry in our heads, manipulating it in an amusing way. This surprising and contemporary version of the memory game is great fun to play, good for children’s visual education and for training everyone’s power to remember. It guarantees hours of amusement around the kitchen or dining room table.
