Program

Looking for an inspiring conversation? An opportunity for new collaborations? Or just a stimulating encounter with a good glass of wine? Join us at the Eindhoven Innovation Café. The place where people from the arts, design, research and technology interact. We aim for a weekly program full of inspiring pitches, expert talks, discussions as well as workshops, lasting up to half an hour parallel to the drinks. English spoken. Of course.

Useeble Smart Stickers

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:30 pm Talk by Yari Foelen
18:30 – 19:00 pm Drinks

Smart stickers that change colour in response to temperature can serve as visual indicators. Useeble is developing the technology that enables the monitoring of temperature exposure. The applications of this technology range from healthcare processes such as sterilization verification, drug safety, monitoring of battery capacity and dynamic food expiration labels. How does this innovative technology work and how can it be used to improve efficiency, accuracy and safety in a wide range of industries?

Yari Foelen aims to validate and commercialize the developed technology in order to provide insight of temperature exposure during product lifecycles. Useeble’s smart stickers promise to enable higher efficiency in management and waste reductions.

Human Material Loop

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:30 pm Talk by Zsofia Kollar
18:30 – 19:00 pm Drinks

Humanity altered 70% of earth’s land and exploited every part of the ecosystem, but what is giving back to this ecosystem? We are wasting so many valuable resources because humans are just too good to be a material. Nature does not waste anything, only humans do. Is there a way to change that? Human Material Loop is on a mission to create the biggest revolution of humankind. If you want it or not, we are part of this ecosystem and we should behave accordingly. 

Zsofia Kollar is a designer, researcher, author and the founder of Human Material Loop: a material innovation company developing technologies, materials and products from waste keratin protein fiber (hair) to deliver high-performing products for the textile industry with zero negative impact on the environment.

Alternative Futures of Summer Comfort

17:30 – 17:45 pm Walk in
17:45 – 18:30 pm Talk by Lenneke Kuijer
18:30 – 19:00 pm Drinks

Due to climate change, Dutch summers are getting hotter. Ironically, this is leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions because a growing number of households install artificial cooling. While cooling is not the only or even most effective way of staying comfortable in hot weather, it is the easiest from an end-user perspective. 

On a quest to break this dominant paradigm, dr. Lenneke Kuijer worked with design students and industry stakeholders to develop a series of 16 design fictions that decentralize easy comfort and assume a different kind of end-user. Inspirations from these design fictions formed the basis for an alternative vision on the future of summer comfort, and illustrate how design fictions can help to challenge undesirable paradigms in design.
