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!
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)
https://www.daisyginsberg.com/work/resurrecting-the-sublime 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) The title of your talk is “BETTER! – What
is better? Whose better? Who decides?”. Why is that a crucial
question for you? (07:30)
https://www.daisyginsberg.com/work/better 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) 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) 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) Why did you choose especially
flowers as an admonition to what we are responsible for?
(20:45) 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) Do we probably need
exactly this kind of storytelling interventions to get really
involved? (29:44) 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)
