MEGA MEMEX WEEK 15.9.-24.9.2021

Art, Technology, Science

HIGHLIGHT:

Memex Conference 2021

Prior to our annual Memex Conference, we are launching a pre-event Mega Memex Week that is dedicated to creating a dialogue between art and scientific findings in the world of market research! We are celebrating our research, innovation, and art with our community here in Kreuzberg!

 

Building a company upon psychological theory to offer the best possible research has been our mission since 1999. Our core mission is to understand what humans feel, think, and do – to see the experience. This year we are excited to finally launch our interdisciplinary connections between art, science, and technology!

What to expect at Mega Memex Week:

 

  • interactive art experiences and meeting outstanding artists!
  • a tour through our walk-in office gallery!
  • innovation workshops on AI-based developments in eye tracking, system 0, gaming experience, sustainability in market research, and others!

 

All events will take place in our Berlin office.

Innovation Workshops

Apart from our everyday market research business, we love dedicating our time to creating innovative ideas. Join our innovation workshops held by eye square tribes – special interest groups that create space for work and knowledge transfer in innovation through cross-team collaboration. Each workshop will take place in our Berlin office, start at 6 pm and last 90 minutes. Get your seat on our Mega Memex Week meetup or below:

Human Perception

Thursday, 16.9. 18:00

 

Understanding perception is vital for all of us when designing products, websites, or ads. Human (visual) perception and first impressions are the basis for many further steps.

Please touch! The strange lives of objects online

Friday, 17.9. 18:00

Human Experience sustainability and products

Monday, 20.9. 18:00

 

The question around buying ethically: Is there a right way to build a sustainable brand? How do people perceive sustainable branding? In this workshop, you can expect to have a dialogue around what makes a green brand.

Enabling human-machine-interfaces with an abundance of ground-truth synthetic data: HMIs are paving the way for the vision of ubiquitous computing – but they need training data. Plentiful, agile and cost-effective.
