Title
Pitch
Industrial Revolution pitch
The Industrial Revolution brought immense improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of human work. Could a similar advent be in store for us today?
Candle pitch
And yet we are as busy as ever. And our best efforts result in problems. Should we not take a closer look at those 'headlights'—how are we directing our efforts?
Scope
We look at the mega-machines, the systems in which we live and work. How are they constructed?
View
The bus with candle headlights is an understatement.
We chose to call the systems in which we live and work the power structure, because their structure, and their evolution, are as a rule not results of conscious action—but of power strife, of "survival of the fittest", both inside and outside.
Ideogram
The System ideogram shows what we do not see—us, humans, as parts in socio-technical systems. It is those systems that determine both the quality of our lives and what the effects of our work are going to be.
