  1. Intimate Science Roger F Malina ICA June 2008

  2. Arrhenius 1896

  3. Modern Science Doesnt Make Common Sense Most knowledge about our world now comes through scientific instruments Few people have experience of mediated senses Much science is now done by experiments on data rather than experiments on the world Most of the world isnt on human scales Our intuition, languages, metaphors, arts are built training on the wrong data for survival

  4. Inhabiting New Scales cf Cheese Diagram Guardans, Czegledy SLOW........................................................................................................ FAST SMALL OUR SIZE LARGE

  5. New Senses: Gravitational Wave Observatories- LIGO in USA VIRGO in Italy

  6. New scales: The Antares Neutrino Observatory under the Mediterranean

  7. Modern Science doesnt Make Common Sense We need a new sensuality We need a new scientific method Most science is done in protected semi monastic enclaves We need to understand the world « society » no longer think science is a priority for government spending or for peoples careers Need the « hard humanities » WE NEED A NEW CULTURE

  8. . Micro Science: Coupling Common Sense to Common Science Micro-Science Micro Science is to the National Science Foundation What Micro Credit is to the World Bank Making science intimate Owning data about your own environment Science creating communities own their knowledge Building intution, language from mediated sensory experience

  9. Muliple Modes to Intimate Science INTIMATE SCIENCE: «  ownership of the data about ones own environment » New AMATEUR SCIENCE: « public science » CROWDSOURCING :  » distributed and open science »

  16. People’s Science, New Amateur Science • Bharat Gyan Vigyan Samiti: Indian People’s Science Networks • Brazil Digital Culture projects • Sergipe « Human Project » • Humbi Umbi in Brazil • Srishti School, Bangalore • Ubiquitous micro science producing communities

  17. Crowd-Sourcing Distributed Science BOINC : Berkeley Open Infrastructure Network Computing SETI@home search for extraterrestial intelligence climateprediction.net , climate modelling malariacontrol.net

  18. X Prizes: Ocean X Research Exploration Conservation Healing

  19. Innocentive: « open innovation » Organisations can submit problems for solution Together with award incentive Over 200 problems solved to date Problem solving communities outside the Academy

  20. The way we do Science carries within in the seeds of its own failure Vesna/Gimzewski Failure of the enlightenment Science is done in guarded monasteries Science education and outreach from the top floor not from the ground floor More science education will not help Science must be systematically culturally redesigned

  21. How Artists in Labs Scientists in Studios Town Scientists Micro Science funding Open sourcing of data about your own world Developing the ‘hard humanities’ to change the content and direction of science
