What does innovation mean in a truly digital world? Meet five thought leaders whose worldviews have been fundamentally shaped by the digital revolution. Wired, ambitious and truly global, they are breaking down old barriers and reshaping the worlds of business, media, art, and activism with their passion and creative innovation.
Thirty-two-year-old Roman Beranek studied Interaction Design at Zurich's University of the Arts before founding Projektil, a dynamic visual arts collective in which design, technology and communication effortlessly coalesce into something both mind-bending and beautiful. Whether they're draping Eindhoven's Saint Catherine's Cathedral in a psychedelic kaleidoscope of colors, or turning Beesenstedt Castle in Germany into a live, 3D concert with mobile interaction, Projektil is responsible for some of the world's most innovative projection mapping events and has helped to define a uniquely twenty-first-century digital art form.
Innovation is the freedom of creativity. It's about understanding the actual possibilities of what you're able to do.
How has growing up in a digital world affected your approach to innovation?
I'm very interested in creating innovation with technology. We innovate with pre-existing systems by figuring out how to stretch the limits of what's possible and make it experiential. New technology gives you new possibilities.
What defines a twenty-first-century entrepreneur?
They see the possibilities of their time. They realize that it's moving really fast and they understand what is possible or not. Most of all, they adapt very fast. They have to, because the state we're in now with technology is just the beginning; that rate of change is only going to get faster and faster.
How do you demonstrate innovation on a day-to-day basis?
You can create something exciting when you combine old stuff and new stuff in the right way, but we're trying to work with new technologies. We're doing stuff that hasn't been seen before.
Is there a technology, trend or idea that's driving the most exciting innovation in projection mapping?
I think it's the melting together of technologies, like you see in the mobile industry, where mobiles are connected to real places and it's fading together with reality. That's why Projektil's designs are increasingly integrated with the real world.
People are going to get used to mapping—it's like 3D technology in cinemas—but it will develop. Interaction is going to become more important, as is storytelling. And the way in which you integrate media mapping will be crucial. That's what we're thinking about now.
New Yorker Dennis Crowley is the co-founder and CEO of Foursquare, a location-based mobile service that uses game mechanics to encourage users to explore cities and neighborhoods, sharing their favorite places and insider tips with the community.
I think it's taking the ideas that you have in your head and finding a way to make it reality. I spent a big part of my career with people telling me, "The stuff that you're thinking about is never going to work." At some point you have to be just try it. I feel like having an idea and running into a wall, reinventing it and running into a wall, then reinventing it again, is what innovation is.
We say internally that we're inventing the future. The hardest part of this is balancing how the company gets invented at the same time the product gets invented. We get 52 people sitting around a desk to figure out what we do, not two people behind a closed door. I've been taught that's a bad idea, but it makes people feel excited and gets them involved. It's like you're on a roller coaster and you go down the big dip and put your hands in the air. At a certain point, you just have to let go.
Is there a technology, trend or idea that's driving the most exciting innovation in social apps?
The iPhone. I've been doing mobile stuff for a long time and it's been difficult because there are so many different platforms, so many different screen sizes, carriers controlled everything. Just like that, the iPhone has reset that whole industry. It's enabled us to do the things we wanted to do.
Five years ago there was no such thing as an iPhone—if back then you tried to guess the future, you would have been totally wrong. I think there's some productive value in not looking too far ahead because if you look too far ahead, you're going to miss what's right in front of you.
Swedish-born Sara Öhrvall heads up Bonnier R&D, the innovation arm of multi-channel media company Bonnier. Following stints at Toyota and Volvo, where she helped develop environmental concept cars, and a decade of experience in brand consultancy, Sara was recruited in 2008 with a mandate to take publishing into the digital future. Mag+, a tablet-based digi-mag project that predated the launch of the iPad, does just that.
I think it means re-booting your brain. It's kind of a skill—or an attitude maybe—to constantly question and redesign the truth about the things you know, because with innovation, by definition, you have to leave something behind.
Today, it's not only about what you do—it's about why you do it. People no longer want to join just because you're a start-up and you might become big; they want to start up because they believe in why they're doing it and the end result.
We make sure that we tap into the discussion that's going on because that sparks innovation, almost like fostering coffee shop culture within and outside the company. We also work very cross-functionally with journalists and tech people. They're never separate; we're always on the same team.
Is there a technology, trend or idea that's driving the most exciting innovation in digital media?
Data aggregation. Once you're able to track how people move, what people think, how people sleep, all the things they do—that creates a whole new world of media ideas. That information can be used to improve your daily life and improve the world around you. For example, if you know more about the impact your behavior has on the environment, people will change their behavior. It's also a bit scary, so you have to be careful about it.
Within the art of publishing there are some core benefits that will always be valid and that we have to protect. Every honest and democratic society will need journalists that are not paid by advertisers, but instead are working on finding out the truth. But media companies have to redefine the use. They need to curate the conversation, and not just be loudspeakers.
Bright Simons is the founder of mPedigree, a unique system pioneered in Ghana that allows consumers to check whether the medicine they're about to purchase is counterfeit or safe via a free text message. Through his work at Accra-based think tank IMANI, Simons challenges the systems that stifle development by advocating fundamental institutional reform.
A lot of innovation is about persuasion; people tend to focus less on the actual invention or solution they are proposing, and more on trying to change the way people perceive it. It's about social binds.
How have developments in technology affected your approach to innovation?
It allows for resource maximization; how we do more with less. Coming from Africa, that is much more poignant. It's obvious when you look around that you're not going to get all the resources you need. But one of the few ways in which you can maximize resources is via mobile telecoms. In Ghana today, one in two people has access to telecom services. That's a major boost, which only technology can achieve.
By persuading vested interests to change. We do that by going to the pharmaceutical industry and convincing them that instead of keeping fake products confidential, they should make it a public-engagement issue. We advocate for change in institutions, changes in the way we expect outcomes to be delivered, and we are seeing the effects.
Is there a technology, trend or idea that's driving the most exciting innovation in social entrepreneurship?
Cloud-based computing is definitely a transforming influence. It allows you to maximize resources, and it also allows you to change institutions. This whole notion of the company as a fortress, where all information is kept away from prying eyes, is changing. Open architecture, open ways of thinking about how we solve our problems, is being driven by a cloud-based mentality.
Mobility and clouds are going to provide the bedrock for change because progressive institutions will use them to make changes in their own companies, changing the social dynamics. It will make things more accessible and that will have a radical impact on every institution and organization in every industry around the world.
Esra'a Al Shafei is the 24-year-old activist behind MideastYouth.com, an online watering hole where dissident voices can find direction, purpose and support. But her work doesn't stop there. FreeKareem.org is the campaign she spearheaded to protest the imprisonment of a young Egyptian blogger; MidEastTunes.com helps political musicians break through the silence; and CrowdVoice.org is a user-powered service that tracks voices of protest around the world. From her home in Bahrain, she works tirelessly every day to lift the veil on prejudice, oppression and censorship.
For me, innovation is taking what's existing and creating a new and effective use for it.
Growing up, I had a lot of different ideas about how to address free speech and human rights, but I had no idea how to make these projects a reality until I was exposed to the internet. Just a couple of applications have transformed the way that people communicate, and this really allowed me to overcome a lot of my barriers and to realize that what you can achieve on the web is absolutely limitless.
The main thing is courage, creativity and persistence. There are so many ideas out there and the only way to make sure that your message is heard is by being creative and unique in your approach.
Some friends of mine have built innovative tools that have helped bypass censored content on the web. And we focus on new techniques that will help reach young people, like animation. If technology for a project doesn't exist, we create it right away, like we did with CrowdVoice. That kind of crowdsourcing platform didn't exist before in activism, but we were in a position to create it.
Is there a technology, trend or idea that's driving the most exciting innovation in activism?
Definitely crowdsourcing, which is a big part of recent activist tools and applications. The most exciting projects in the field are the ones that rely on lots of information and input from the masses, especially those that are visual.
I love not knowing what the future holds for us, because we're always coming up with new plans and new ideas, and these things change on a day-to-day basis. My job every day is to wake up with a refreshed perspective on the projects we deal with and do something different.


Zeta came into being this year, the name was inspired by a sorority house "Zeta Alpha Zeta" in the movie, The House Bunny, from 2008. The film is a firm favourite of the Zeta flatties, who have painted a house sign to replicate that from the movie.
This isn't the first time 241 Castle Street has carried a flat sign. Earlier this century, for a short time, it was known as The Cardboard Box and it carried a rather splendid stenciled sign.
Had a great walk around a few of Nth Dunedin, lots of new flat names – especially on Hyde Street, and had the pleasure of chatting with the boys from Wahaha and Beehive – cheers guys, happy Easter.


I gotta say I'm a little upset with you, Waco. When in the hell did you get this sweet water slide, huh? What else have you been hiding from us?
The slide can be found at Waco's BSR Cable Park and costs just $15 per day, not including entry into the park. Not a bad investment for that much potential fun. And if giant slides slinging you into the air ain't your thing; BSR also features a lazy river, wake boarding and more.
But it's official as of right now, I will be making a little road trip to Waco at some point this summer. Be warned Royal Flush at BSR Cable Park, I am coming for you! Also, when did everyone in Waco get so damn pretty?

Dubai Air Show: Aerospace industry meets for deals and displays
By Russell Hotten BBC News, Dubai Air Show
Image copyright AFP
Image caption About 1,300 exhibitors will be at the show
The eyes of the world's aerospace and defence industries will be on Dubai this weekend as one of the industry's biggest air shows takes off.
While the larger Farnborough and Paris events may attract more visitors and exhibitors, Dubai has in recent years been where most of the biggest deals have been done.
Like its European rivals, the Gulf emirate's five-day show will be a battleground for commercial aircraft sales between Airbus, Boeing, and the second-tier manufacturers.
But Dubai is also a key venue for arms deals. The sensitivity of defence contracts means many are negotiated below the radar. Given the scale of Middle East defence budgets few arms manufacturers can afford not to have a presence at Dubai.
All the major names will be among the 1,300 exhibitors showing up this week, including Britain's BAE Systems, France's Dassault, and the biggest defence firm of all, America's Lockheed Martin, will all be out in force.
Regional insecurity
The latest Military Balance report from the Institute of Strategic Studies says that as a proportion of gross domestic product - the size of the economy - seven of the top 10 biggest spenders are countries in the Middle East or North Africa.
Oman is top of the rankings, committing 11% of GDP to defence spending, followed by Saudi Arabia with 10.8%. Last year the US defence budget was 3.1% of GDP, while in Europe - as President Donald Trump has often critically noted - many NATO members fail to hit the 2% target.
Greater insecurity in the region means, inevitably, that defence spending will rise, says Charles Forrester, analyst at the information and intelligence group Jane's.
Image caption The United Arab Emirates has been an important market for fighter jets, including this French-made Mirage
He says: "Events over the past year, as Iran has become increasingly aggressive, have shown that there is a strong need for surveillance capabilities to ensure that critical national infrastructure remains secure, and that governments have the right information to respond."
Britain's Royal Air Force has, without the usual fanfare that often accompanies such things, decided to send out a Typhoon fighter jet, made by BAE Systems and its European partners. And the French Air Force is displaying its rival Rafale jet, spurring speculation there could be contracts in the offing for both fighters.
Dubai will, for the first time, see an appearance of America's F-35 Lighting II fighter, whose development costs are estimated to be $1.5tn (£1.2tn) over the lifetime of the decades-long programme.
Given the geo-political nature of the defence industry, the appearance of the F-35 may influence whether Russia sends its rival stealth fighter, the Sukhoi Su-57.
Boeing vs Airbus
In addition to this supersonic hardware there will be an array of surveillance and electronic warfare aircraft, missiles, drones, infrastructure and innovations - much of it of a highly classified.
For the United Arab Emirates' military, the biennial Dubai show is a chance to "discover new technology and equipment, and network with key industry players from around the world", says assistant undersecretary for defence Major General Abdulla Al Hashmi.
Image caption The Royal Air Force will be showing off a Typhoon jet in Dubai
The show, though, is not just a chance to buy in equipment. Dubai and the larger emirate, Abu Dhabi, as well as Saudi Arabia, are increasingly developing their own capabilities in aerospace manufacturing, maintenance, and repair in both the civil and military spheres.
Major General Al Hashmi adds that the show is a chance "to demonstrate what the UAE is capable of".
The UAE's Tawazun Economic Programme, for example, includes ambitious plans to make the emirates a centre of 3D printing, blockchain, smart sensors and quantum computing. Last month 25 state-owned and independent companies in the UAE were consolidated under a defence company called Edge.
Mr Forrester says: "The UAE will be well-positioned as both and investor and manufacturer in the global aerospace industry."
The show is not all about defence, of course. Civil aircraft sales will make most of the headlines.

Image caption Emirates cancelled an order for the A380 the year
At the 2013 Dubai show there were $206bn worth of firm orders and options for passenger aircraft, most shared between Boeing and Airbus. In 2017 there were $114bn worth of sales.
This week's event won't scale those heights, partly because the finances of the major Middle East airlines are shakier, and partly because airlines already have so much on order that the production lines at Boeing and Airbus are committed for years ahead.
But Boeing's latest forecast for commercial jets estimates that the Middle East aircraft and services market will be worth $1.5tn over the next 20 years.
Last minute haggling
The Dubai show could be especially important for Boeing, given the sales and reputational damage of the 737 Max crashes and grounding of the aircraft. Boeing has so far this year logged more aircraft cancellations than orders.
There will be a focus on Dubai-based airline Emirates, which always likes to make a splash on its home turf.
Earlier this year Emirates cancelled orders for the Airbus A380 superjumbo, and said it would switch to A330s and A350s. The airline has also promised to buy Boeing 787 Dreamliners. However, neither the Airbus nor Boeing orders have been finalised.
It's thought that Turkish Airlines is in the market for aircraft, as is fast-growing Emirati budget carrier Air Arabia. Look out, too, for announcements from airlines in Asia, where air travel is growing apace.
Air shows are an ideal marketing venue to promote blockbuster deals if companies can agree contracts in time. Behind the closed doors of the chalets and meeting rooms set up near Dubai's Al Maktoum International Airport, executives are engaged in some intense last-minute haggling.
