field notes
Observations, signals, and reflections from beaming’s projects, studiolabs, world-building and field research.
I am quiet by nature. Very Cancerian. Yet at the same time I love to express myself. Very recently I realized how much the pandemic slowly, over time kept me in my seat, at home, taking things in but not expressing back out as much as I wish. So here is the beginning of a conscious intention to tell stories of my travels in pieces like this and by curating intimate settings of fellow travelers sharing parts of themselves... "moments of you" as we say at Amoofy.
In partnership with Vishwakarma University Ade Mabogunje (Stanford Center for Design Research) and I working on the Feminization of Agriculture project in two rural Indian villages.
Much of the coming transformation will depend on the stories and narratives that are adopted and the culture that is carried forward. Metaphors matter. Having witnessed the rise of transformational technology on Wall Street, the Internet and Web in Silicon Valley and more recently machine learning through the lens of a startup listening to stories at scale leveraging AI, one thing is clear: The culture that surrounds these transformations is as important as the technology itself. We need future architects and archeologists who can prioritize and capture the human story - an operating system based on the wisdom of our ;ived experience as context - ancestral and cultural intelligence through storytelling to guide the use of our artificial intelligence.
