Lecture and Q&A session with Ranga Yogeshwar

Progress promises us greater security: this is how we calculate our future using digital predictive algorithms and protect ourselves against every conceivable risk with mathematical models. In doing so, science and technology invoke the predictability of life. Give me your data today and I’ll tell you what tomorrow will bring...

But what happens when chance and chaos throw this endeavour into disarray – not as disruptions, but as driving forces of insight? Together with the renowned science journalist and brilliant communicator Ranga Yogeshwar, we explore the power of the unpredictable: from chaos theory as a scientific model and social concept to the chaotic effects of digital technologies and their promises of salvation.

The evening combines a talk with an open discussion – which may itself take on surprisingly chaotic traits. An invitation to question certainties, embrace complexity and face chance with a clear head.
