Health and Inefficiency Workshop at Doors of Perception 3. Presentation by Willem Velthoven. |

Superbug® |

| Superbug is the outcome of one of the workshops held at the third Doors of Perception conference in Amsterdam. The conference was known by the titles On Matter and InfoEco. The idea was to examine the opportunities which information technology offers us to live lighter on the planet; to achieve the Club of Rome goal of reducing our consumption of energy an matter by a factor of twenty. That's important because if we don't reach this target, we'll run out of batteries at an inconvenient moment and the Club of Rome will not be able to accept any responsability for the situation.

The workshop was conducted by Willem Velthoven and Tom Ray. Participants were: Norbert van Haaster, Peter Hennessey, Michiel Holleman, Rein Jansma, Andrew Mauricides, Claire Neesham, Maartje Nevejan, William Owen, Roc Parés i Burgues, Elizabeth Pick, Alfred Rademakers, Peter de Rooden and Michael Samyn. Together, we quickly realised that humanity might be facing more urgent problems than the exhaustion of its natural resources: infection. This is the presentation we gave at the end of a conference about saving the world.
