Podcast – Can we steer the digital revolution in a different direction?

Podcast Numérique et Société

This mini-series from *Numériques Essentiels*, in partnership with b<>com, explores whether the principles of ecological redirection can be applied to the digital sphere.

Interdisciplinary research

This podcast is based on research carried out by b<>com, which aims to promote the sustainable transformation of organisations by strengthening their capacity for anticipation, reorientation and collective intelligence, through a combination of design methodologies, the humanities and social sciences, foresight and the processing of large volumes of textual data. 

This interdisciplinary research is being conducted in collaboration with a number of academic and industry partners: 

The Meaning of the Mini-Series – Research Diary

The term ‘digital’ refers to objects, services and infrastructure alike. Can we really reduce it, or strip it back to its constituent parts? How can we rethink our collective narratives surrounding new technologies? How can we become more resilient in the face of digital vulnerabilities? Can citizens’ assemblies drive digital transformation projects? Can we redirect electrical infrastructure? These are the initial questions posed by Alexis Nicolas (researcher in digital redirection, OCTO Technology) and Christel Fauché (researcher in ecological redirection, Orange) throughout this mini-series, echoing the research hypotheses underpinning the project.
