Die Fragen an Dr. Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg:

Mein Gast heute ist die Künstlerin Dr. Daisy Ginsberg, die wir auch beim kommenden Future Day am 25. Juni in Frankfurt auf der Bühne begrüßen dürfen:

Daisy, thank you so much for the opportunity to talk to you today!

1. To give our audience a short impression about your daily live: We had to postpone our interview, since you recently arrived back from a 5 weeks exhibition journey with a heavy cold, right? Where have you been and what was the exhibition about? (01:10 )

2. Let’s get a bit closer to what our guests at the upcoming Future Day will learn from your work: Could I say, a plastic bottle is responsible for your keynote topic? What’s the story behind that? (04:10 )


3. The title of your talk is “BETTER! – What is better? Whose better? Who decides?”. Why is that a crucial question for you? (07:30 )

4. If I look around a bit more reflected, I got the feeling, that the idea of better was kind of hijacked in many domains. From politics to marketing, everyone is promising that things will be somehow better. It actually feels a bit like betterism. Do we need to be aware about that? (09:30 )


5. Should we all be more concerned about the question of better? Where would you expect major change if they did, in terms of our challenges towards future issues? (13:35 )


6. Your recent project RESURRECTING THE SUBLIME was about reconstructing the smell of deserted flowers using genetic engineering. Is the idea behind that to be more sensitive about the implications which decisions we make as human beings?(16:59 )


7. Why did you choose especially flowers as an admonition to what we are responsible for? (20:45 )


8. I understand, your work delivers straight forward crucials impulses for the economy and basically for every individual as well. Why did you decide to bring these to your audience through arts? (26:40 )


9. Do we probably need exactly this kind of storytelling interventions to get really involved? (29:44 )


10. There is one last question, that seems to fit perfectly to the upcoming Future Day in Frankfurt: In the abstract about your Better-project you write, social imaginary itself can be a critical design object, offering a process to reimagine the world. What do you mean by that and why is it vital to reimagine our world? (32:42 )

OUTRO

Daisy, thank you so much for your time today. I’m looking forward to meet you personally in June 25th at the Future Day in Frankfurt! (36:07 )
