Best wishes for the new year to all of our readers from all of us here at Technology Bloggers and the Bassetti Foundation.
2025 was a busy year for us all, and I thought I would highlight a development that might be of interest to our tech-thirsty readership.
Poiesis Intensive Innovation with the Metaverse
2025 saw the development of the Bassetti Foundation’s gallery on Spatial. The gallery hosts what we call our ‘Cover Story’, and we open the new year with a focus on poiesis intensive innovation, a form of innovation that does not come from scientific methodology or protocol, but from knowing how to do things. We could think about tinkering with machinery so that it can be adapted to perform new tasks, using materials in unusual ways, the human and non-technological side of innovation.
This is a field that I have been active in for many years, it was the focus for one of my (free to download) books, and the exhibition hosts several pieces of my work within a series of videos about projects we have been developing through the Foundation.
As the Cover Stories change, so does the gallery. You will find images that weave a common thread throughout the history of our activities, connecting STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) disciplines as well as the gender issues that permeate these fields, so crucial to the growth of our society. This provides an overview of the complexity of operating responsibly in research and innovation in a rapidly changing world like ours.
Come and check it out.
