HackS+T+ARTS 2022: Circular Futures
Think in systems & co-create impact on your community.
The Circular Futures Hackathon is a hack-and-think roadmap aiming to unleash open social innovation in the arts and sciences and foster transdisciplinary collaborations.
The products, processes, and projects that we work on are increasingly complex and interrelated systems. We now realise so many of these complex yet crucial systems that we rely on are fragile, unsustainable, and exploit this planet’s finite resources over both space and time, borrowing from what belongs to future generations.
The circular economy is a systems solution framework that tackles global challenges based on three simple principles: designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. Building a circular economy in cities can bring economic, social, and environmental benefits in shaping our sustainable COMMUNITIES and places.
As we enter the "4th Industrial Revolution" (4IR), enormous creative possibilities emerge, necessitating multi-layered solutions for the transition to the circular economy. The rapid technological advancements in ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI), robotics, autonomous vehicles, big data analytics, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials, and energy storage challenge the current status quo and re-define our relationship with our environments and the world.
