 Rhaid i chi, Mark. Rhaid i chi, Louise. Rhaid i chi'n gwneud hynny. Rhaid i chi, Mark. Rhaid i chi, I'm in residence for the day. Rhaid i chi, I'm going to be talking a little bit about the way that I work and the kinds of projects that I make because I make them by doing something that I call research in public, which is a collaborative act of thinking about the way things work. Mark mentioned systems, I'm very interested in systems, articulating them, bringing them to light, displaying them, thinking about how we use them and then how we might change them, hopefully. So I'm going to talk a little bit about a project called World Factory that we made over the past few years by way of introducing how I work and then I'll talk a little bit about what we'll be doing or thinking about today. So I'm interested in the relationship between people, places, things. World Factory is a piece which tries to articulate something about consumer capitalism by looking at the global textile industry. I came across this quote, but the thing that's particularly interesting to me about it is that it was said in 1843. So suddenly things have got that much more complex, that much more difficult to unpick since then. So I tend to think about the global textile industry, came to the point where we decided we had to put the audience absolutely in the midst of it and we set up a theatre piece at the heart of which was a game in which small groups of people ran, imagined they were running a small Chinese clothing factory and I'm just going to show you a little bit of the start of the game. Oh, jeswn ni'n meddydd i'n cael cael. You have taken over a clothing factory, you have to cut the wages here. To options. Option one, keep the workers' wages at the current level but sack half of your workers. Option two, keep all your workers and lower their wages by a third. Nobody earning below the living wage. No, I think it's... Is it just cut their living wage where they are? Yeah, I think it must be where they are. No, I don't want to be caught. In turn, the sound down a little bit. As the conversations went on amongst the audience, they would pull apart questions that we were posing through the cards and the cards would evolve into a storyline that went in a different direction for each audience member. They had money and workers. What we were doing was repositioning the audience to pay attention. There was a system at the heart of it that enabled us to send the data back to the audience in the form of this kind of game show award ceremony where then the aggregate, so we were looking at scale, how micro decisions produce a large-scale process which is something that's very hard to do in this when you're trying to pull down to the particular. How many choices did we make together tonight? Let's take a look. In total, you have made 273 decisions. We also did little graphs which opened this up for people. This is the cards. There are 420 cards and this is the system of how each dot represents a card, how they all connected to one another, actually creating 100 million different mathematical roots through the game. There weren't 100 million stories, I have to say, but many different combinations of possibility. What did it all boil down to? Well, a notion of active economic citizenship, which is a phrase from Harjun Chang, the economist, thinking about how we participate in the production of our futures. That's really what I'm hoping that we might be able to collaborate on today. As Mark mentioned, there is that kind of anti-utopianism where people tell you all the time to get real. I've been thinking about future scenarios, in the context of climate change. When you think about get real in the context of climate change, it starts to feel a little bit different. I've been reappropriating these capitalist slogans that try to prevent us from imagining and turn them into something new. Of course, the question is what can we do? Here, that's a very strong and positive question, but often I get the slight cry of despair from people. What can we do? It's trying to turn that story around and find the ways in which we can move forward. I've been pondering why is there a kind of resistance? One of the things I wonder is, when we were mapping consumer capitalism, it's very clear that you know how to play the game. People take to that game very quickly and they work it out and they can play it. We know what we are. This is a quote from Ophelia when she's mad and hamled, but know not what we may be. The question is today, who could we be? What might we be if we scale up all of these ideas and pursue them? The question again, of course, then, is up to us. Mark already mentioned tragedy. Are we the tragic hero? Are we going to go down in flames, dragging the whole planet with us? Or are we on an epic journey? Are we maybe on the uphill of the mountain? But what's the view on the other side? What might be possible? The project is all about living for the future. Outside, you may have seen, there's a big blackboard and we've started to put up some ideas already and provocations and we'd love you to contribute postcards to write down your thoughts, your ideas, quotes from things you've heard that you think are interesting, responses to postcards that are already up there and to map over the course of the day some of the ways of thinking is emerging through the event. So it just remains to me to say, we need to live for the future because you only live once. Thank you.
