POPTEC IN ICELAND
Last week we had a PoPTeC conference in Iceland. A strange event but interesting and great fun. This seems a kind of an American Dream Event about development, changes and the possible future. What was stimulating was to meet the many external people and hearing their ideas about how to handle the future that we have ahead. Iceland itself was not really an issue to talk about but we did at the same time gain some images and thoughts about the future of Iceland. Great friend Thackara came again and gave the best presentation about the conditions that we are living at the moment, post economic crash and rebuilding in the two possible directions: To repeat the bad experience and sell out to foreign companies or to build more sympathetic future in harmony with land and environment. Here are images from the event.
There has been lots of debate about how to handle the future in Iceland, to damage permanently a sensitive nature or to live in harmony with the environment. Here is one more earlier blog about this.
