Through The Ripple effect, you will be able to come to terms with this: each action will have a reaction, and we can make the difference. Explore the essence of actions, relationships and decisions through interactive technologies that bring a new realm into our perspective. Sjoerd van Acker and Annika Kappner show you that each decision you make produces an echo that will affect the future.
Sjoerd van Acker and Annika Kappner invite the audience to explore the essence of actions, relationships and decisions for a better tomorrow. Interactive technologies can help us explore realms where decisions and actions have a clear effect in front of us. From tracing a path for future visitors to becoming a crucial mineral from earth, each decision you make produces an echo that will affect the future. Beyond our present identities, we are energy that triggers ripples on this spacetime reality; our small actions create craters and hills for the future.
Hope begins with actions, and actions begin with knowing that whatever we do will be worthwhile and influential. Through The Ripple effect, the audience will be able to come to terms with this: each action will have a reaction, and we can make the difference.
