The Innovations Forum takes a novel approach to presenting innovation within the context of a series of events dedicated to technology. Focusing on the creative impulse that drives innovation, the forum invites presenters from all disciplines who acknowledge that “a need for change” is the key-driving factor behind all forms of innovation. Exercising openness in participation in the attempt to include all possible categories of knowledge and practice, the forum pushes forward with innovations that predict and build robustness against negative occurrences or with those that can be exploited for their potential to bring about positive outcome. The Innovations Forum therefore embraces counter factual thinking to avoid psychological biases that may collectively blind all to ideas outside the realm of common expectations, lending attention not only to possible possibilities but also acknowledging the impossible possibilities. The Innovations Forum's focuses on art and science hybrids and its program reveals this in related exhibition Hybrid Highlights, in workshops, and during the 20by20 pechakucha-like presentation platform. The Innovations Forum is also where DAW supporters and participants meet and mix informally and where appreciation and support for both arts and science find their meeting point culturally.
